Love the way you Americans call tightening something up snugging it up..😂

[@MGB-learning]

Great video fellow MGB owner.

Think in replaces the bearing guides, would use a socket, so as to avoid

[@johnkennett617]

Dr D, please continue with what you are doing. Lot of us. are working on our MGB’s and are trying to do our best to keep our toys on the road with very little mechanical knowledge. We are all learning from watching you. Thank you so much

Thanks for posting these videos. I’m on a similar journey with a 1975 MGB. 👍

[@raffydelatorre]

This helped me out a great deal (new slotted rotors, pads, calipers and steel braided lines). Thank you!

[@dtrimm1]

Excellent video - thanks. I have this job to do right now on my ‘77 B

[@connorgalbus9271]

Thank you. You helped a first timer replace the brakes. Keep up the good content!

[@bshnabel]

The best video ever, look forward to more. Thanks

[@nujabraska]

Well made and very informative!

[@123rtheo]

A cotter pin is something you will find on a bicycle pedal crank not on an MGB the pins you refer to are split pins. Great job tho. 👍

It's called a bearing race.

I hate to mention, but the springs that hold the brake pads in were installed upside down in your video. The longer tangs face inwards to align the pads. I also find a dab of antiseize on the contact surface between the springs and pads helps keep them moving freely, but they rust away to nothing within a few years in any case.

Very good video for an amateur nlike me. Thanks

naval jelly is practically the same as wd 40 rust remover. both have the same active ingredient: phosphoric acid and probably says so on the containers of both products. it's been around for a century and can be thinned with water to a consistency of the WD 40 product. i wouldn't be surprised if when watered down it cost half the price of the WD product by volume and effectivity.

split pins

[@superlukage]

Your next two tools should be a bench grinder with a wire wheel, and a vise, both bolted to a nice sturdy bench. So much easier to just power the rust off with a wire wheel, then put the hub in a vise so you don't have to hold it.

I am restoring a 1958 MGA and just bought new rotors and now I found that I have about .010" run out on the assembled rotors. Any videos I need to see or advice as I proceed?

[@danielkbarton]

A hydraulic press will do wonders when it comes to pressing bearings and races in out of wheel hubs among other jobs.
