I also forgot to mention the steering is very stiff even off the ground but I think that's due to the preload being to tight as the relay moves freely

I am being stupid here sorry but where is the bearing? I know there's a needle bearing underneath the chrome ball but havent seen what's on the top of it ? Does it have a separate wheel bearing like a car which holds the wheel nut studs ? I have only seen diagrams of the chrome ball assembly if...

Holding it horizontally maybe the weight is to much to get a vertical movement ? I was wondering if you over tighten the pre load would this occur? The one thing I did not di is add shims as the pulling weight on the scales was around 10 kg and still is ? I read it should be around 3 kg so to...

do you know how to get the old Bush out ? Or is it an entire strip down that would be handy to know bud

Thanks Steve odd thing is it does not play vertically only horizontally if that makes sense and as I said the ball joints I'm the track rods are new and steering etc infact that's what it feels like when you wobble it sude to side exactly like a worn or loose ball joint but definitely not that...

Ps what is that pin actually tightening onto ? Is it the chrome ball by any chance ?

Plus its had new rods etc and tracked but obviously when done has to be retracted

That's with all shims out as well ? I have bought the washer and the sleeve I tried buying the kit but had a problem logging onto PayPal some bastard stole my phone recently . I have to say that when I put my finger in the pin hole it felt a bit rough maybe that was the remains of the washer I...

No I don't have that washer infact i cant see it ? Theres about an inch or so of play if you pull but that washer has made me think now as it was steering ok ish till recently does that washer go inside the hole where the top pin sits by any chance ?

Thanks for that can you tell me can you add shims to reduce play as I watched a video on YouTube and the guy was saying this but his play was so bad he said there wouldn't be enough shins in the world to stop it hence I was thinking do you add them just I will still order the bearing as you...

1973 series 3 I have unbolted the lower 4 bolts with the steering knuckle hole on it but it won't budge the chrome is not pitted infact it looks good thanks for your replies by the way

Hi all I am having problems trying to get rid of front wheel play ? I have new track rod ends etc new steering bar which are all right but I am removing shims as the wheel has bad wheel play around the chrome ball . I have got to the stage now that I have removed all the shims and it is still...

Thankyou I managed to unlink it from the overdrive side it was covered in so much crap I didn't spot the split pin link much appreciated

I took off my overdrive today can anyone tell me if this looks worn ? I have no diagrams as to what this should look like but my overdrive is squealing Thankyou Nick

Wonder can anyone help here I removed the farey overdive today and I enclose a picture ( it is dramatically magnified ) of a shard of metal found inside the hole of the overdrive as pictured below its difficult to see inside the hole where the overdrive came out of but can someone tell me how...

Hi all I am Trying to remove the farey overdrive for a service this may sound stupid but the bolt on the overdive lever ( does it turn clock wise or anti clockwise this bolt will not budge ) tried a snap on breaker bar still wint move ? I did notice behind it there is a split pin connection but...

I have 2 buckets under mine at the moment I know now it's only under pressure is when it leaks oil so I am presuming crank seal ( I do know the oil filter case is leaking but that was my fault ) your all obviously aware but there is a UV supplement you can add to the engine or gearbox oil which...

No I haven't Moggytom very much appreciated I will googe how far they are Wales is bigger then I thought it was when I moved here

I didn't check the earth's properly only for tightness but I can say no screeches or squeals ? No sound of a slippage type ( missing teeth on the flywheel ) the earth strap from the starter to the chassis is a bare woven mesh type cable which does look a bit twisted and old I will try a straight...
