Well I thought it was about time to sort my hub nut issue, so I got up nice and early at quarter to 1 to do it.

Basically it was pretty buggered. I made a rookie mistake with the spitfire TRE's, so I couldn't get that off to start with. Second issue was the balljoints were knackered, next - the CV joint was done in, and lastly Luke hit the nail on the head with the seals. It was actually the plastic ring thing that must have been on wrong, as it had absolutely obliterated itself. Decided to rob a hub off the cooper as that looked pretty good, and use that. I now know what that spacer between the bearings is for - to stop all the grease from flying out between the CV and the drive flange. I'm pretty happy with it now, all seems nice and solid, no play, and I did the balljoints properly as I had the time.

Took it for a shakedown test, and tried to show the MJ limiter in action, but for some reason didn't want to play nice.


Valve bounce in first: (earth lead was loose thats why it takes a while to get going :()
