Completed the front end rebuild and thought I would get it on the road. Had parts to rebuild both rear end brakes. So I checked passenger side rear and all looked good. Driver side rear was a mess. Soaked in brake fluid and grime, brake cylinder frozen and leaking.
Moving the axle while brake drum off noticed a clunk then it smoothed out. Each time I stopped moving it and restarted the clunk again.
Decided to replace the diff washers. Used a slide hammer kit rented from advance auto to pull axle and proceeded to replace the phenolic and brass washers. Using a YouTube video "mgb differential repair 1 and 2" it was easy. Took 2 hours leisurely working. Even though phenolics were still present, after replacement no more clunk. Seems most of the wear was in the brass washers not the phenolics.
