Badger speaks: "We just used to beat the crap out of the drum with a sledge hammer.....who cares if it stops? The brakes are junk anyway...... Use a good size nail to fix the split pin..that is why it split, it was no good. Back to my Chevy truck, I don't own a stupid MG now anyway." Best, Ray "Morology is our profession, our ONLY profession!"
