Thumbs up Special Tool for a Mini ADO15 Gearbox fix!

Back in the 1960's Minis would lose the drive in the gearbox due to the big nut coming undone on the mainshaft output gear.

They brought out a modified nut with a lock washer but the problem was getting sufficient Torque to stop it coming undone.

A mate locked it into two gears at once then gave it the 160 lb ft torque only to have a gear tooth break!

I got an old layshaft and had it welded to an old end gear so you could slip it on the shaft to hold everything tight from the other end. I binned it about 5 years ago after a big garage clear out. Not only did I use it a couple of times but it did the rounds with my mates who had the same drive failure.

Last time it was used on a Riley Elf in around 1974 - by that time it was no longer a problem as the modified production boxes were fine.

Well I am surprised, it is a Mini flywheel puller, they were fitted on a taper and took a lot of pulling, Rick

I regularly design and fabricate jigs at work for the paint line.
Not everything we paint is as simple as a hook in a free hole.
I tend to have multi uses for tools.
Only thing that i have made that sticks in my mind is the bearing tool for the front wheel bearings.
A bit of tube with two dowels welded on and an M10 nut and bolt welded to the other end so i can fit a 17mm socket and ratchet to tighten/loosen the bearing lock ring.

Like the depth marker, did you weld or braze the extension rod, Rick

Talking Flywheel puller !

I loose again! lol

I did not recognise it as mine was a big round plate with multiple holes for various makes of vehicle.

When you tightened the centre bolt you had to be careful as if your hand was down there it would come off with a bang and give you a nice bruise on the back of your hand.

The best way was to give it a bit of lump hammer but if the engine was still in place there was very little room. On my dry suspension Minis it was easier to lift the body off the front subframe. If it was hydraulastic like all the original Cooper S models then you had to drain the suspension and get the flexi pipes clear when you lifted off - not easy plus you needed the suspension tool to refill with fluid etc. Not to mention having to remove the brake servo etc. Plus those hardy spicer drive shaft couplings were a pain to line up on re-fitting.
I think mine was a Quinten Hazel part not genuine BL.

It would probably have helped if I had included the three bolts in the pic but they have gone astray as last time it was used was in the 70's, Rick
