Installing the Rear MGB bump stop

How to install the rear MGB rubber bump stops - the easy way

Great Restoration

I found that getting the socket out afterwards was the difficult bit. I put a bolt inside the socket pushed the rubber on by hand and then pulled on the bolt to get the socket out. It wasn’t easy but doable on your back with the car jacked up & the axle on the car.

Good tip Steve, but 😏 there is an easier way if you can leave it till the wheel is on, with a 4 foot length of 3”x 2” timber on the tyre and some WD40 on the bump stop, pops on a treat, and the WD40 disappears after a day or two, who was it that said “with the right levers I’ll move the world”?
