- Could be either one. There were several service notes warning not to over grease the rear bearings, so it was a common problem even back then. But gear oil tends to both mix with brake dirt, and dry

- That's actually interesting. Many decades ago, a friend of mine with an MGA tried to clean his oil-soaked shoes in the ultrasonic cleaner at work; and the linings fell off. We just figured it was th
