Is your Nissan Patrol still running on worn-out or failed automatic locking hubs? The 40250-01J01 manual free wheeling hub delivers the reliability and durability your 4×4 demands, whether you are crossing the dunes of the UAE, tackling the red dirt of the Australian Outback, or navigating the rugged trails of South Africa. This aftermarket replacement hub is engineered for the Nissan Patrol GQ (Y60), GU (Y61), and Nissan Safari from 1990 onward, as well as the Ford Maverick equivalent models. It is also the go-to conversion kit for owners upgrading from unreliable automatic hubs to a bulletproof manual setup.
Precision 31-Spline Engagement with Aluminum Alloy Strength
At the core of this hub is a 31-spline drive gear machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring a tight, slip-free connection with your Patrol’s CV axle. The main body is cast from high-grade aluminum alloy, striking the ideal balance between lightweight performance and heavy-duty structural integrity. Unlike cheap steel alternatives that add unsprung weight and accelerate front-end wear, this aluminum construction reduces rotational mass without compromising load-bearing capacity. Every unit undergoes dimensional inspection before leaving the factory, so you get a drop-in fit — no grinding, no shimming, no guesswork.
Direct Bolt-On Replacement for GQ and GU Patrol
This hub is designed as a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 40250-01J01, 4025001J01, and B013. It matches the factory 90mm PCD bolt pattern with 6-bolt mounting, making installation a straightforward garage job. Whether you own a GQ Patrol running the TD42 diesel, a GU Patrol with the ZD30 or RD28 engine, or a Safari import with the TB42 petrol motor, this hub fits without modification. The manual locking mechanism is operated by a simple dial — turn to LOCK for 4WD engagement, turn to FREE for 2WD cruising — giving you full control over your drivetrain with no vacuum lines or electrical actuators to fail in the bush.
Why Manual Hubs Outperform Automatic Hubs
Automatic free wheeling hubs rely on vacuum pressure and internal springs to engage and disengage. Over time, dust, mud, and water ingress degrade these components, leading to partial engagement, grinding noises, and eventual hub failure — often at the worst possible moment. Manual hubs eliminate these failure points. When you lock them in, they stay locked. This predictable mechanical action gives you confidence on steep climbs, loose sand, and muddy tracks where a sudden disengagement would leave you stranded. Additionally, running in FREE mode on paved roads reduces front driveline drag, improving fuel economy and reducing wear on your CV joints, diff gears, and front driveshaft.
Built for the World’s Toughest Conditions
The 40250-01J01 hub is purpose-built for operators who push their vehicles to the limit. The aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion in humid coastal environments — think Southeast Asian monsoons, West African rainy seasons, and Australian beach launches. The internal gear set is heat-treated for surface hardness, resisting the galling and premature wear that plague budget hubs under high-torque rock-crawling conditions. The sealing system uses a dual-lip design to keep water, mud, and fine dust out of the hub internals, dramatically extending service intervals compared to open-design competitors.
Applications and Compatibility
This free wheeling hub is compatible with the following vehicle models and variants:
Nissan Patrol GQ (Y60) — 1990 to 1997, all engine variants including TD42, TB42, RB30
Nissan Safari — JDM and export market GQ and GU equivalents
Ford Maverick — DA series (1988-1994), Australian market equivalent to GQ Patrol
Note: This is a 31-spline hub and is NOT compatible with the 29-spline variant used on some early GQ models. Please verify your axle spline count before ordering. For GU models originally equipped with automatic hubs, the conversion to manual hubs using this 40250-01J01 unit is direct and requires no additional adapter kit.
