Interesting...TR2 and early TR3 ring gears were shrunk on. Late TR3 -TR4A
were held on by 6 - 5/16 bolts. Wonder why they went to holding them on with
bolts, Hmmm...
I'm sure the bolts were eliminated by some BL bean counter in the interest
of saving a few pennies for the later cars...
Despite the bolts I still had to have mine ring gear heated up at the
machine shop to remove. I tried the workshop manual trick with the short
steel rods and bolts to back it off. The steel rods were too soft
and...well, let the machine shop guy handle it!
Cheers,
Brad
TR4 & 4A with bolted on ring gears...
