There's a simplified procedure for slelecting the front wheel bearing shims on the NAMGBR website. It's a tech article by John Twist. I used it just before taking off on the CA trip. Cheers, CR

Stuart: I'm not sure if this is the controversy that you intended. Would you care to qualify that last statement? My father was a research Metallurgist in the UK until he moved to the US in 1972. He

What I should have said was "British car part metallurgy". I didn't mean impugn the ability of the British metallurgist, just the manufacturer's execution in the case of some of our engines and heads

There's an element of "apples and oranges" in your statement, I'm afraid. Indeed, MGAs don't call for shims because they use ball bearings (though, in my opinion based on 25 years as a professional

Stuart and all, It can be done successfully without a dial indicator. Look at John Twist's method in Tech Tips on the NAMGBR website. It worked for me. YMMV. Cheers, CR

The rears don't need packing. Although new bearings must be packed they actually run in the diff oil. Unless you are replacing them (and getting them off and on the half-shaft is a job for a press) t
