Thank you, Andrew. This is the most comprehensive and comprehensible presentation of this seemingly daunting task I have seen. I anxiously await the followup rebuild video.

Very useful video, did mine today after studying your vid a few times.

Els Els how did you get 5he top gear in, played and played with it, can’t get it in proper place. Thanks?

[@Dievas99]

Good addition to mikeaonyoutube's video. Thanks!

I got as far as pushing out the pinion axle a 3/4" but it wont pull out any more. You used a screw driver through the roll pin hole, I may have to concoct a slide hammer attachment for that!

[@crispinallen5207]

excellent video. thanks to your video i did the job on my MGB.

[@wallisparnell4464]

So Allen, how do you get the top gear to slip in, played and played, rotated it every which way, and can’t get it in. Is there a trick?

[@anthonyfuller6740]

Great video, a job I’ve been putting off but time to do!

[@rampakeshbharat1938]

Brilliant video, many thanks...

[@davidegan8226]

Can't find a second video of the rebuild. Is there one?

[@wallisparnell4464]

Where putting them back in?

[@stuartlever6807]

I think it would be wise to buy a set of proper drifts

[@amulheirn]

maybe - seems to work fine though. Was never sure what a 'set of drifts' really was though, which is probably why I don't have any. I go to toolstation.com and put 'drift' in the search box and come up with just one hit that looks totally wrong for what I need. Do you have any good pointers?

Do you have any video of the hole axel dismantle?

[@amulheirn]

Hi Ronnie - do you mean taking out the crown wheel and pinion etc? If so, no - I didn't do that because I thought it would be OK, and (I was told) that most clonk can be fixed by replacing the thrust washers etc. Here's a club friend of mine who has done a good write-up on this: www.the289register.com/stuart/De%20clunking%20your%20MGB%20rear%20axle.pdf

[@ronniesrocknroll]

Well thank you, I think i change the washers and see if it helps. Thanks again.

[@wallisparnell4464]

Hello Ronnie. Did you get your washer changed out? Have success getting them back in? Thanks

[@ronniesrocknroll]

Wallis parnell yes it’s ok now😊

[@ronniesrocknroll]

Ok, but if you will get rid of the klonk, you have to rebuild it komplitely.
