I had Satur gears fitted in my rear axle (1999!)) of my MGB GT V8 and now on my test drive they whined in the classic "I'm-sick" mode. My question is - Do I have to take the whole back axle out (oh t

Please can someone answer this...... I had Satur 3.07 gears fitted to my 1970 MGB GT - done by professionals in 1999 (huh!) and my recent test drive reveals horrendous whining. Can such problems be d

That's a good question. I guess it is feasible to drop the rear end low enough for the gear set to clear the fuel tank, but I don't know of anyone who has done it that way. Dropping the rear spring

I've run into this too and figured it was just a tolerance issue. Either that or North American molecules are a different size. Kelvin Dodd the

I've never done this job (I have a banjo), but I'm gathering that the lack of 1/100th of an inch of space requires using a spreader tool? Heck, I'd get out the grinder, too, in that situation. How di

Take a look at illustration Ha.1 in the workshop manual. That's the bizzare stretcher rig. The Salisbury axles have deep holes in the casting, into which the bolt&nut you see in the middle of the be

Yes, that is pretty scary, all right. But what I don't understand is the need for this gimcrack procedure in the first place. If I'm the engineer, and the first axle comes off the line, and we start

The diff carrier location is set by selecting spacer washers that go on the outside of the diff carrier bearings. There is no threaded adjustment for the location of the carrier as there is in the ba

Ah, thank you, that makes sense. I guess. I mean, what's more convenient -- a threaded adjuster built-in to the mechanism, or a "special tool" case stretcher that you use once in a lifetime? Seems to

I agree with the maintenance issue, as I have rebuilt a banjo diff myself, but had to sent my Salisbury axle out to a specialist. But from a production point of view - During production the Salisbury

Well, my guess, assuming you are rotating a rear wheel hub, is a bad wheel bearing on that side. Is there any end play on that wheel? Any wobble? How about the other side (for comparison)? If it is t
