Well done on a great job and also well done for thanking the Gentleman who gave you the spares. You are a top guy. Love the video
Im so greatful for the parts he gave me. They have helped to keep many cars on the road now.
Great video William, really simple down to earth and informative. Spot on mate.
Cheers, i try to make my videos easy to follow and light hearted
Love TH-cam music🎶🎵
It's ok but always room for improvement
you are a legend !!! best vid ive found helpful
Nice one cheers pal
i'm glad i got a flip front on mine made changing the clutch so much easier and that oil seal tool make it so easy to put in .well worth the money for the time and effort it saves
Yeah i think flip fronts are the way to go. Will save so much time
Another day in the garage and great progress made keep up the good work.
Yup, really making progress now
Hi William,
A long but good video!
Nice to get away from bodywork issues, isn’t it?
Not far to go now until it’s finished and the remaining tasks are probably the least frustrating ones.
I’ve now caught up to video 31 so guess the he next one is yet to be released.
Think I’ll look at some of you other mini videos.
Cheers William, Éamonn
Wow you well and truly binged watched!
Videos are uploading Wednesdays and Saturdays. Pleased you are enjoying this series
Thanks for that information on the "A" stamp as I have to check mine if I put mine in correctly. Just have to take mine out again! As the engine is back in this will take some time now.
Yes i never knew this either, thanks to Paul Jeffries for pointing me in the right direction
A good informative video.
Just a couple of tips from when I worked on minis in the early 1960s, pre diaphragm clutch. You really need to hit the flywheel puller bolt to free it, our garage, along with most of the others, used to drill a 3/4 inch hole in the inner wing to insert the drift. It'll never be noticed. Tip two, use a disposable plastic drink cup to cover the splines to prevent them damaging the oil seal lips lips, they're easily cut with scissors. Much simpler and far cheaper than that complicated tool you used. I still think that the original BMC workshop manual is the best source for information about repairs.
Cheers tony, i dont think luke wiuld have been happy for me to drill hole's in his panels, but should i ever get stuck its an option thank you 👍 the oil seal tool from mini spares was around £17 ive had good success with it. We dont often have plastic cups about but if i didnt have the tool id sure try that method.
My reply sounds a little negative which wasn't my intension so please dont take it as im brushing you off. Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment also.
Id love to hear more from you as i bet you have some great stories from working on the minis back then. 😀
@@WilliamMurfitt Thanks for replying. We never told our customers about the hole, as I said nobody will ever notice it. I suspect that quite a few classic minis will already have them, it was common practice back in the day when they were new.
@@tonycamplin8607 i try to reply to everybody. Ive heard a few things that were once common practice on a variety of cars yet modern day people would call blue murder
Great Vid dude! Really helped me with mu clutch!!
Glad to hear it!
Hi Will that was a really good episode very informative I did think it would have been easier for you to have remove the solenoid when you were trying to tighten the flywheel puller but good stuff anyway looks like you’ve knocked the clutch problem on the head.👍👍
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴
I see what you did there... i like it 👍
Yes it probably would have been easier but i didnt think it would interfere too much. Pleased you enjoyed it.
That looked a bit of bugger well done mate
It sure was mate!
You never seem happier than when you have spanners and sockets in your hands. This was interesting as I've never seen inside a clutch on a front wheel drive A series as I only ever worked on MG rear wheel drive A series cars, thanks for that.
Cheers mate, yeah im the oposite to you ive only seen the mini ones
@@WilliamMurfitt If memory serves me right the engines had to come out on the Midget's to do the clutch as there wasn't the space to pull the gearbox off the back like on the A's and B's.
@@graemew7001 well that sounds like a pain of a job to do. Surely the complete gearbox removal would be easier to gain access for the clutch?
@@WilliamMurfitt From memory it was although I think I only did 2. Mind I wouldn't want to do any now, my tinkering days are well behind me, it's been that long now that I'm doubtful I have the ability and wouldn't want to drive the car I've done big jobs on lol
@@graemew7001 ha ha its like riding a bike
God that was tight 😳
Yeah, i was told that it would be tight, so pleased i invested in the guessworks puller
First today lol, keep at it mucker doing a great job.
Cheers mate
That bolt was a B it didn’t want to come off it’s amazing what a bit of brute force does if and where possible taking care not to scald yourself use a kettle of boiling water over it that will expand it I use this idea on the likes of ball joints
Yeah but with the right tools it sure helps
Enjoyed this. My mini experience was 50 years ago. When I changed the clutch I had the flywheel tool from BMC but never had the seal installation tool. I used celo tape to protect the seal from the sharp edges. It was a real worry putting the whole thing back hoping for no leaks. I was unaware of the letter A as well. Long before the internet.
👍👍
Thanks
Hi Will. Great stuff so far, been following this since the start.
I’m just wondering what rechargeable light you use? Looks decent.
Thanks mate, the light is a braun light ot was a gift from Randy from LoneStarMini
Another great episode 👏 have a look over to hre_irl shows a great way to get the absolute most from the clutch. 1 of his latest videos up.. Keep up the good work , tuned in as always 👍
Paul at hreirl is an absolute gent, he is so knowledgeable and happy to help out as and where he can.
@@WilliamMurfitt definitely, you are also doing some great videos and helping me out so keep it up. I've just started my own project and need all the help I can get 👍
