Well the weekend is over (you may have noticed!) and house points won. The job went well but I had to use the slide hammer i made many many years ago. On Friday we went to E.S.M. to get more parts to help complete the car. They are a good company to deal with very helpful and seem to hold enough sto...

Hi Stig./ Alix I didn't know about the hole I'll look for it on saturday when I do the job. The slide hammer is quite large, as the Morris 1100 we once had as an everyday car needed quite a thump to remove the rear hubs. If I remember right. The best thing about the leak is it gets me out of wedding...

Thanks stig. Yes the shoes are stuffed. It apears to be comming from the seal, but i won't know untill it comes apart!! I'll see if Ican borrow a puller from our stores. I was wondering if a slide hammer will shift it? As I still have one from 1100 days.

I have leaking Halfshaft Seals!! They are on a 1957 Tourer.The job should not phase me, but I need some advice. Do I have to remove the hubs or can I remove the bearings and seal without the need to remove the hubs? If the hubs have to be removed do I need a hub puller or can they come off without t...

Hi bmc thanks for that,but it's the clip that's the problem. The only way to remove it appears to be by grinding a slot down the gear into the clip undercut so to get a scriber into it then lift the clip. It's just that I dont like grinding the gear nor does the owner of the box.

I am rebuilding a 1095 gearbox,but can not remove the circlips on the layshaft gears, to replace the needle bearings. Has anyone got a sugestion without destroying the old bearings? Thanks in advance. Mick

Verry Good

REmove the swithc and clean the area around it ,as they are a ground switch!!

Just an idea, but before lifting the head try a compression test first!!

Thank for that Mike. Auto jumbles are the best way that i can think of. I enjoy these, Bike ones up to now. So I will have to include car ones as well. The english sizes were available in mixed packs, but unfortunatly not now. Even the bike trade is getting hard to find them. Mick

Thanks bm I thought so. Off to get some then. Mick

I need to get some fixings for the new car. BUT what is the thread most used on the body ? I need to fit a parcell shelf and do a few other things to prep for the MOT. I am not worried about tools I just need to know what nut and bolts to buy. I.E thread Whit/BSF or UNC/UNF type.i have loads of metr...

Hi Richard. We hope to be off to Provence the first week in September.By Tourer if we have one by then!! As their will only be two of us we will have plenty of room. So PM me some time and I'll give you my details in case you need spares Mick
