Hi all, Good to hear from you folks!  Enjoyed the videos Linda! Rick is 
correct but no, I'm not done with it yet.  Had to sort out a bit of play 
in the MGA left front wheel.  I removed the hub but not the bearings, 
reinstalled and tightened it down past the castellated slot and still 
had had some play.  Grabbing the wheel at the top doesn't give me 
clunking sound but shaking it with hands at 9 and 3 positions gives me 
the slight play. I'm starting to suspect inner tie rod at the rack.  
It's not that bad so will keep an eye on it. Would not have noticed it 
if I hadn't played with it to start with.  So, NOW on to the Sprite 
clutch slave remote bleeder.  Thanks Rick;  I'm an old guy and 
cellophane came from somewhere in my brain (lucky anything gets out of 
there!) Plastic baggie it is.  Thanks for confirming.

Dave W.

Please stay at home and give our health care workers a break!
