You need to drive the shaft out with a drift ( read small socket) I did
mine a few years back and it took quite a force as I hammered it out (
and back on the new one. Now I have a small shop press that would do a
nicer job.

It seems that I have two brackets in place for coolant expansion
bottlesOne is immediately in front of the radiator on the passenger side
(that is only a bracket, no bottle in it). The second one (which is in use)
is on the drivers side and is closer to the front of the car -- say 6"-8"

Ok, so I am in the midst of replacing the water pump (my brake parts haven't
arrived yet).
So the Haynes manual tells me:
"Press off the viscous coupling and remove the tolerance ring."
Like hell! I have not been able to get that thing to budge off the water
pump shaft at all.
Any suggestions?
So what is the general consensus about spray painting parts to make them
look nice? As I take off the water pump, checking the thermostat cover and
the head cover they are a bit tatty... I was thinking of cleaning them up
and spraying them with high heat black or something
Any thoughts?

I have a similar problem with my twin HS4. The fuel bubbles up through the carbs
when I stop and the heat soaks in.
I have obtained a couple of MGB insulating blocks that I am working right now to
fit to hopefully stop the probem. Won't know until the weekend though how
successful this has been. H
I had a lot of trouble with my SU's overflowing from the vents. Several things
contributed to the problem.
First was fuel pressure. The replacement pump I had provided too much fuel pressure.
An inline regulator greatly helped this problem.
Second was my float bushings. Until I got a correc

They had a variety of ratios available for the choosing. Triumph chose several

I didn't find it too hard locating MX5 seats in the UK, just found the

George,
I don't have any strong opinions on your overflow idea, but it seems fine.
IIRC (and I've been over 6 months Spitless now) my original UK 1500 had an
overflow rather similar to what you describe as having right now.
