I remember reading in the "Healey Highlights" back a few years a ago about a guy on tour with the San Jose club. Seems that the group made a pitstop on the way home (home being something like 2-4hrs

I once had a strange problem with my BJ8. The splined hub that holds the wheel and knockoff is held in place on the axle shaft with 4 splined bolt/studs. (the kind with splines and threads). I didn't

Another solution to the problem would have been to swap the wheel and hub that was slipping with a good set from the front of the car. (That is assuming the hub on the front of the Healey is the sam

Huh? The knockoff caps are threaded opposite on each side of the car, as are the threads on the hubs, obviously. The spline itself is identical regardless of position. You will note that the caps ar

Phil, Having reread what I wrote, I guess it could have been implied that I was also refering to the wheel as well as the hub and knockoffs. In deed, as Phil indicates, the wheel itself does not req

I read somewhere that one of the things to look for when examining an old car with wire wheels, is to pull the wheels and make sure the splines have not been "shimmed" with aluminum foil to compenst

No, you put both the bad wheel and bad hub on the front and the good hub and wheel on the rear. The slipping of the splines seems to have always begun under acceleration conditions (at least in ever
