MGA banjo axle replacement of oil seal and bearing

[@timoklap]

the heat would damage the seal. why not use a press to press the bearing in? or but the bearing into freezer and drop it in when its cold?

[@hueyhoolihan582]

yes, making the hole bigger or what goes into it smaller is in this case will work. i had the same thought when i saw the torch put to use after the rubber seal was installed. but, to be fair, the host indicated that the heat had to be applied judiciously.

I manufacture a special ,fully machined steel socket to fit these octagon 1 61/64’’ AF nuts . Hand made by myself. They fit the nut perfectly and are machined with an external 1 1/4’’ AF hex . For the use of a standard socket fitted to a torque wrench socket .

[@MarkVince-hr2vn]

I would be interested in purchasing the socket.

Do not work off a cheap harbor freight jack, please add a Jack Stand! I hope I am wrong in my assumption and you do have another support on the car which is out of view. Thank you for showing your work it is very helpful. Stay Safe.

don't see what difference it makes if one is not getting under the car.

Will that heat 🔥 affect the rubber oil seal 🤔

[@ilonaschafer-simcic2470]

Only heat the metal from the outside and do not heat it! Do not hold the flame to the oil seal!!!!! You can also use a hot air dryer, 80* Celsius is enough.
