put some gloves on, buy some degreaser and get a paint brush and start hooking in. need any more advice
just have a crack mate, just do one at a time and take pics if you get confused on the order that the shit goes back in. not like they are too complicated.

SO after being on the To Do List for about 6 months, i finally started pulling apart my sierra hubs to clean em up in in preparation to fit to my jimny.
The gaskets are rooted
Where is the best place to get new gaskets? I had a look on ebay breifly but it looks like they only come with complete rebuild kits, I don't want that.

Also, my hubs don't have a ball bearing in em.... I couldn't see one anywhere nor a hole for where it's meant to be (in case it fell out without me knowing)
I've get em all stripped and re-greased but I can't for the LIFE of me get that mongrel cir clip back on! It took me 30 minutes to get the bugger off and now I can't get it on.
Does anyone have any good tips and tricks to get this bastard back where it came from. I don't have cir clip pliers just needle nose ones

Excellent work. this inspired me to clean mine out. Stretching the small spring just a little bit makes a huge difference, i highly suggest doing this. I found out both of mine didnt have gaskets had been sealed up with rtv which had worked fine as the grease was rather clean and there was no dirt or water in the hub.
I work for www.sealimports.com.au and that's an o-ring shop. otherwise if you go to a bearing shop they will buy them off me and then sell them to you.
should be pretty cheap if you are just after standard, couple bucks. Won't accept any responsibility for standard postage but we can send it in a post bag or you can pick it up from work or something.
pretty sure it's a BS134 and it's a quad ring not an o-ring the ball bearing is 1/8 or 0.125" I reccomend greasing up the quad ring because mine are really hard to turn now, it's possibly it was oringally a 2.5mm qud ring but good luck finding one of those, a BS134 is 2.62mm

Would you be able to sell me a a dozen of those quad rings that suit the sierra hub. Cheers Marvin
