  Removal is easy with the air wrench. 1 5/16 socket,same as axle nuts needed.
There should be a tab washer behind the nut.
   Not only have some forgotten to replace the air pump belt, there are some
who have forgotten to replace the air pump itself. It's hard to believe, but
true.

The front pulley on my daughter's '71 MGB has split (outer turns
independently of inner).

Any advice on replacement? I have a compressor and impact wrench, so I
should not have problems removing the bolt, once I can get to it. What size
is the bolt? I need to make sure I have a suitable socket.

I did this some years ago on my MGA, but was wondering if there are any
extra considerations for the MGB?

Also, is it safe to forget to replace the belt that drives the air pump
(smog pump)?
