GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The rear axle is of the semi-floating type. It is of
unit construction, and no repairs or adjustments apart
from those connected with the half-shafts and rear
wheel bearings, brake-drums and shoe mechanism
Cdn be carried out without removing the complete
axle unit from the car.
The rear wheel bearing outer races are carried in an
extension of the rear axle casing and the inner races
bear directly on the axle half-shafts. The wheel hubs
are attached to the axle shafts by splines and a tapered
split collar.
M.G. Midget. Issue 2 (H & E) 82966-1/5-4
Contrary to previous M.G. practice, the axle
half-shafts an only be withdrawn after removing the
wheel, wheel hub and brake-drum, brake back plate
assembly and
the wheel bearing housing.
The brake-drums are of cast iron integral with the
hub or permanently attached to the wheel hub flanges
by
countersunk-headed screws, which must not be
disturbed.
Hypoid-type final reduction gears are used and the
axle housing is divided close to its centre for assembly
purposes, the pinion assembly being mounted in the
right-hand half or axle casing.
