Thanks for the advice and comments.

The hub went on to that point with a couple of taps, I put the hub pulley on and knocked it on with hammer. I haven’t got any wobble and moves freely, any friction seems to be from the spacer and inner seal when it moves, I haven’t checked the end float yet. I’ve got 2 spare sets of hubs and spindles and they seem to go on to the same point. Going to attempt the other side and see how that goes on.

Hi Pete, I’ve checked the cross sectional diagram in the manual and it looks like the spinal doesn’t finish flush with the hub do you know if it’s possible where it’s sat now is actually as far on as it goes? thanks
-
Hi everyone Its been almost a year since I’ve managed to make any progress. I’m having trouble getting the hub to sit on the outer drive shaft. It seems so tight going through the outer bearing, is this normal? Is it a case of brute force to get it the last 3-4mm I’ve attached a picture. If anyone can provide any advice I’d be really grateful. thank you

Haha fair comment the risk of loosing it in my workshop is even greater then damaging it

Just to protect the spade connectors, I’ve accidentally knocked them in the past tried to bend hem back and they snapped

And there she is all in, got a few minor adjustments to make on the engine mounts tomorrow and put on the earth strap.

Need an engine hoist with shorter feet.

Looking really good! -
I tried but the gearbox rebuild has taken longer then anticipated hopefully tomorrow is the day! So far it’s had a full strip down and major clean. New needles, I think it’s had a rebuild fairly recent so kept the old bearings and had no signs of wear on the bars(can’t remeber what there called) Reasembled New seals & respray New gaskets
-
Looks lovely!
-
If all goes well tomorrow I should have the gearbox put back together.
-
Finally got round to getting the sump back on and after a costly mistake with the water pump housing managed to get that replaced.

Only the finest

Cheers for the advice on this guys, hopefully it’ll be leak free.
-
And now some light reading and a well deserved beer!!!!!
-
Ohhh and almost forgot, my diff has come back following a rebuild! I did have to get the bushes out the back, after some thought I found the best way was to drill the rubber out and then hacksaw through the outer metal ring.
-
So after running out of gasket sealant it was back to the gearbox rebuild, after taking off the bell housing 2 needles fell out. The gearbox at some point had had a massive oil leak not sure if that could have caused damage to the gasket?
-
Cheers for the help on this one, new part from Canley and local engineers removed the bolt all in £35 - happy days
-
So having tested every hole, the longer bolts can go anywhere apart from on the bridges where they bottomed out. So I’ve decided to put in new bolts at the longer size and use the original shorter ones on the bridges.
-
Cheers Pete just levelled the flange now, they weren’t to bad. Regarding the bolts I took care to place them where I pulled them from but I’ve gone to put the pan back on and in my excitement I took all the bolts out. So 4 of the short ones go in the bridges is there an order for the others by my count I have 4 longer bolts?
-
After the fun job of removing gasket & sealant I’m almost ready to put the sump back on. The sump needed a little TLC.
-
Evening all just spent the last 2hrs cleaning the old sump gaskets and sealant off a Triumph GT6 engineit seemed like 3 or 4 layers thick. What is the general opinion regarding the gasket? Sealant and gasket or just gasket? Thank you
-
The cut is me trying to get the bolt out, which I have now given up on so trying to find both new parts
