looks like a Fumoto Valve .... lift the lever and push it... you can read about it on their website. https://www.fumotousa.com/

They are off the shelf electric motor/industrial bearings. 6207-C3. If you wanted shielded bearings those would be a 6207-ZZ-C3 or 6207-2Z-C3. If you want sealed (what I would recommend) you want a 6207-2RS-C3. Pull out the inner seals, wash out all the grease they come with and pack them with Amsoil waterproof grease. Leave the inner seals out only put a little grease in the pocket between the bearings. When operating you only want the whole assembly about 1/3 full of grease. And McGuire will have these on the shelf. You don't need to buy them from an auto parts supplier. These are industrial 6000 series radial ball bearings used in literally everything. If you want to be really slick use 7207 axial thrust bearings and set the preload with spacers. GD

Welcome ! Sadly , many folks don’t use this great forum as much these days due to face boo I hit a few Subaru groups there and don’t waste any time if possible. Personally I use it but also can’t stand it at times. More family friendly here for sure. And much much much less moronic behavior issues. Best of luck with the Brumby. Still find it funny and yet somewhat annoying that your market continued to receive the MPV into the 90’s when ours ended in 87. Enjoy the board. Several of us have parts catalogs and service manuals and decades of user knowledge. Just may have to be patient with less traffic when seeking answers. Cheers !

Cheap to make timing belt tool for EA82s. 3 1/2 inch disc of 3/16 steel with 3/8" drive socket welded to center on one side & 4 short 5/16" hex heads bolts welded to other side.

I always wonder about battery life and recharge time.

A friend of mine has a milwaukee 1/2" cordless impact. It's pretty good. It's great in the junkyard or on the side of the road when something is broken. Maybe changing a tire in the shop when I don't wanna run an air hose. I still way prefer my 1/2" pneumatic, though. It's lighter, more powerful, smaller to fit in tight spots, and I can run it 100% duty cycle going nuts ripping things apart. If you do that on an electric impact you'll overheat it. Even when I do rally service for the race car, I drag my generator and 30 gal compressor along with me to the service park. Electric impacts are a long way for replacing pneumatic tools for me. Once you have a good pneumatic rattle gun in your hand, you're gonna be hard pressed to let it go.
