The late Doug Reid had what he called the wire trick, where a piece of wire
12-14 gauge is threaded thorough the drain plug and used to hold the pump
cam in a compressed state. It's a bit fiddly, but works ok.

Hello all -
I have put new seals in my gearbox out of my BN4. I removed the
OD to replace the seals in between and now I am putting the two back
together.
The overdrive seams to line up fine and slide onto the mainshaft okay but
when it gets about 1/2 inch away from seating, it stops. I am sure that it
is
the OD pump thats hanging it up, and I have reassembled an MGB OD to the
gearbox successfully before so I know it can be tricky, however, this one is
very stubborn. Am I missing something? Thanks
Darin Graber
