Hi Guys, I am still working on my MGTC and not getting the kind of
instant help I am use to from the Sridgets List. I am attaching a
post I sent to the MGTABC List. The first question I sent had to do
with frozen wheel cylinders. The pistons are frozen and I am
presently soaking them in PB Blaster. It seems to have no effect.
Any ideas? I am certain that I will have to send them away to be
resleeved, but I sure would like to look at them before they go to the
mailbox. The second question deals with (wire wheel) axil shaft and
rear hub. They look virtually the same on the TC as they did on my
'70 Midget, so was hoping that someone could enlighten me. Thanks,
Larry

In addition to my earlier post about frozen wheel cylinders (no
answers yet), I have discovered that one axil shaft is loose in the
rear hub (left side). There is considerable slop between the hub and
axil shaft. It looks as though someone had tried to deal with this
sometime in the past by trying to tack weld the axil to the hub. At
this point I am guessing that at least I will have to replace the hub.
How is the axil attached to the hub originally? A press fit? If the
axil splines have been damaged in the welding process I guess I will
have to replace both. Any advice on how to mate a new axil shaft to a
new hub would be appreciated. Larry
