Series MM axle removal
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2023 2:53 pm
Hi All,
I need to replace the entire axle in my '52 Series MM. I gather that on the late SII and 1000 cars it's possible to remove the axle from the car with the springs in situ, but for some reason the workshop manual for the MM with Nuffield axle claims that the springs should be removed from the car to get the axle out. Does anyone know of any reason why I shouldn't be able to remove the clamps from the axle and remove it from the car with the springs in place?
Thanks!
