Need some help with a noise from the rear axle area (57BN4). Went out for a
drive and after about 30 miles the noise began. I originally thought it might
be a broken brake shoe spring that had fallen onto the drum, nope. I can't
tell if it a scrape or grind. It has kinda a scrape with a click like
something in a fan. The noise increases when I let off the gas and coast.
The noise is the same in neutral coasting down hill (forward and reverse).
This winter I did remove the right axle and changed the O-ring and paper seal
(had a minor leak after 55 years). I gently reinserted the axle without
problems.
I could really entertain some ideas, as I am a long way from Healey
knowledge.
I used my Iphone to record the noise. Here are two short
recordings:

Any and
all help welcome.
