Morris Minor Owners Club

Many thanks, have now sorted it.

Used a 3 legged puller, penetrating fluid (50/50 acetone and transmission fluid, heat gun, and a few sharp taps and off it came.

Bearing is held in housing with a spring clip.

New bearing on order, hope it goes back together a little easier

I am detailing my engine and ancillaries. I have taken my dynamo apart and front bearing needs replacing. However I can’t get front plate (which holds the bearing) off the shaft. Have tried a sharp blow to the shaft but am worried that I will damage the end plate with too much force. Any thoughts on...

Does anyone know the correct colour spec for a gold seal engine rocker cover? I am going to be detailing my engine over the next few months and want to try and use the correct colour rather than any old gold spray.

Thanks

Paul

Bit of a long shot but I recently purchased a Morris Minor 2 door saloon, registration CMO 450J. Unfortunately there was no history with the car so just wondering if any previous owners might still be members and can shed some light on its history.

Just had same problem. Fitted new rear shoes but could not get enough adjustment. After much head scratching I compared old shoes with new shoes and found that new shoes were smaller than old shoes by a few mm. Contacted the supplier (ESM) and they confirmed that they had identified a bad batch and ...

Have just fitted new brake shoes and drums on my ‘71 moggie and could not adjust them enough even when the cam was on its maximum setting. After much head scratching and several dismantals and rebuilds and disconnecting the hand brake could still not adjust the brakes sufficiently. Just to humour my...

Myrtles Man- just got the car, no history supplied, my intention is to do some digging and see what I can find out about the car.

Panky, thanks for the Pics. I intend to take the wing off in the near future, get the inner wing back down to metal to confirm how good/bad it is and then decide if it is a replacement panel or a patch job. 1st job on my list thiugb is to stop the water leaks inside the car to prevent rusting of the...

Attached is a piccie of my new acquisition

Hi, after many years I have plucked up the courage and purchased a lovely 1971 2 door Morris Minor. Its not perfect but seems solid and should be a great little ‘runaround’. From an initial inspection it looks as if some repairs have been done to the front inner wheel arches and the bump stops are m...
