Nouakchott - Toyota garage?

All,

two buddies of mine are doing the Budapest-Bamako rally and are having car issues... Does anyone know of a garage in or around Nouakchott that would be able to help with the front wheel hub (apparently it needs stripping) on a Landcruiser 80?

All rather urgent I'm afraid, so any and all ideas are welcome!

Regards,
Dave
