Видео

love your videos- since your b is a race car- then are there a video about what your engine is made up off? a video off a race your in?

Recently did exactly this on my Rover Mini replacing the wheel cylinders both sides. What I will say is if doing it on the car, use mole grips clamped on the hub to hold the cylinder in place, this gives you two hands to get the clip on, still rather fiddly and involved a few interesting words when it popped off numerous times but that helps a lot. I didn't end using the special tool i'd bought as it would have involved taking the brake pipe off and as i didn't have a replacement i didn't want to chance it. All the best.

I have found removing the paint underneath the ground strap is helpful.

02 AUG 2024 Aha, you do not advocate for the use of shims with the newly installed pads. I have been told here in the U.S. it may be better to use them. Nice simple and straightforward instruction. Thanks

Thanks for the video! I bought the tool from Moss... piece of junk failed on the first use. Your method got it done!

Thank you for making these videos. My front crossmember has been rebuilt and currently out of the vehicle, is it possible to install the front springs or will i have to bolt the crossmember back in?

Little tip, I put the hub in the oven for a little while as long as it doesn't have rubber or plastic parts

Is it ok to heat up the brake drum in the oven if you don't have a torch? Someone said to set the oven at about 250F and the bearing should fall out of the drum on its own.

What grease were you using?

I hope you are going to make more videos, I really enjoy them!

Thank you so much, very informative. I just have a little question, do you think it'd be okay to use moly grease instead of gear oil?

Bearing packer is cheap

Very helpful. Many thanks.

Lousy video. The diagram was unreadable , as was his description of which nut was in the sequence. A waste of time.

For some bizarre reason this absolutely did not work today :( No brakes. No idea what I've done wrong.

We are under an MGB watching this video!!! Thanks!!!

Great vid. What is the size for the copper crush sump washer please?

Hi David I need to raise the front ride height of my MGB by 25mm, could you tell me where I can purchase the ring spacers please. Best Regards Roger.

Hello David . Very nice video ! . Do you know please , the necessary torque for the swivel axe nut ? Best regards . Christian

What size tubing do you use on the bleed nipple leading to the waste jar?

Great tip just used this, many thanks!!

Hi can you tell me where you purchased your quick release steering wheel kit from

Brilliant video, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

Finally, a technique that actually worked while upside down under the car! Thank you!!!

How much pedal travel do you have, and how firm is the pedal? I'm struggling to get a decent pedal travel on my B

Great video David, going to attempt this myself. Couple of questions, read that you need to torque up with the car on the ground but access is surely going to be tight, is it ok to torque up with the car up? Secondly what is the torque setting for the two inner pivot bolts? Cheers👍🏻

Does someone knows the lenght and size of the screws please? Thanks

I had the exact same thing happen to me in my 1979 mgb on the interstate

hey. thanks for the video. when you have a tow bar attached and not towing, does the parking sensor pick it up?

Noticed thermostat was left out??

Thank You for this Video, this Video helped me a lot🤝🏽

Dave is that a Fidenza flywheel? Its too bad we cant give more than 1 thumbs up😢

great, thanks for posting

Many thanks for such an informative video. The rear suspension is my next project when the weather improves, you video has given me the confidence to tackle it myself.

Great information and video on the MGB auto's GREAT JOB !!!

Thanks for this David. It's helped me diagnose issues with my steering on my B. I was at the point of replacing the entire rack. My current one had no oil in and no shims. I've owned it for 6 months now and had to fix bodges and lots of little simple fixes that previous owners have ignored. Worst of which was a loose ignition wire which caused a short and burnt out the entire ignition circuit. Re-wiring an MGB in the winter with no garage is not fun. But between you, John Twist (Although a lot of his video's have dodgy quality now) and Alex's Garage it's back to where it should be just in time for the summer.

Could you not mix the oil with a high pressure grease. This would then stop you being concerned about oil leakage? Just a thought.

Hi David, where do I get the shims from for the valve spring assembly? You mentioned you have three in there for tension. Cheers! Your channel is awesome for anyone looking to love their MGB on their own! Well done and keep up the great content.

I bought one of these kits but I cannot get the fluid bottle to be airtight.... 😞

Well done. The most fiddly job to tackle 😂

Thank you for the tutorial. I intend to replace my B's callipers. I don't think new pads and disks will be needed. However, If i go down the route of replacing the pads, do you recommend also replacing the disks?

Just want to say thank ypu very much for your videos. They've been a massive help in learning how to take car of and improve the car, especially for a total novice like myself. Cheers!

Got the info I needed from this vid. Different classic engine and vehicle but same era.. many thanks

This just helped me put the finishing touches on renewing the front brakes on my 71 Midget. Cheers from Arizona! Thanks man.

Exellent video as always, but one wonders what would have been the result if only spraycan paint types would've been used and not a brushing applciation method. One can easily find heatresistant black paint, either from Hammerite or a similar brand and with spraying the surface of the cast iron material its rather rough nature would have been highlighted

David, I believe your videos are, in fact, the standard by which all instructive videos should be measured. The illustrative video with your clear and articulate descriptions give we the viewer not only the courage to tackle the same task but present a proper example of cleanliness and purposefulness when tackling any project. Your self deprecating humour is also an example as to how to take one’s time and not let minor frustrations sully the joy of the ‘hobby’…Well done!

I wish I saw this video earlier cos I've messed up I've not bearings out but less casing in I'm now stuck😭😭😭😭😭

Great video thank you. Commenting so I can find it again later. Thank you

What fluid do they use

Absolutely spot-on video of how to do this. I will be slotting my crossmember the next time it is off!
