This is the proper service tool that the workshop manual specifies: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F311539452832 Pretty sure any old puller tool will do the job, including the one use Chinese cheapies. Something like this one: https://rover.ebay.com/r...

I was waiting for that question! ;) To put an aftermarket one on that's a bit smaller, more comfortable and nicer to hold. It's not a wooden one. However I want to keep the original one as it's likely original to the car. Like every other part I've replaced I have kept if the next custodian wishes t...

You had removed the center nut when you were trying to get it off I take it ? A stupid question but you never know. I always put the nut back on a couple of turns then give the wheel a really good pull, wiggling it side to side. If that doesn't shift it the you will need a puller. Don't do what a f...

I've generally shyed away from some of these single owner clubs! I always had noticed that the stands at autojumbles with the commercial suppliers, the MGB bits had the most people with many pushing you out of the way to get to the front. That put me off a bit joining the MG clubs. Saying that if yo...

Any suggestions on how to remove the wheel? I tried the John Twist method and gave it many good lumps with the hammer but no budging. Also given a vigorous wiggle side to side - no movement either. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190513/74fba25ed5d1bc454ec9c72c765c5d6e.jpg I'm thinking maybe putt...

I went to Beaulieu autojumble two years ago. Absolutely pissed it down and I got soaked through. Probably clouded my view on it. However when I did escape the rain, I just thought it was full a load of old overpriced tat. I also hate having to ask for prices on everything. Especially as when I open ...

He actually drove it spirited.

That explains the pictures of him in a pub on that video.

Get rid of it and put the money into the 1100. That only has a warning light. The 1100 needs time, not money, throwing at it. Almost got the BGT in working order now and it's running much happier. However I can't let it take too much of my spare time away from finishing the 1100. Hence why I'm prob...

This brings it up to date. The engine runs the best I've ever had it running. Way quieter with less tapping and an idle that I can trust. At the moment it appears the brakes may need some work next. Front discs were reading ~160C on the IR thermometer and the back drums were at 95C and 60C on the dr...
