  1. next up, training wheels, just kidding.......roll on. So jealous we have no trails or i would be on my side too, probably needing training wheels on mine more than anyone else.
  2. search found At this point you want to remove the castle nut, the spring washer, and the conical spacer. Make a note of which way the spring washer was originally oriented, GeneralDisorder writes that it should have a "slight bubble to it - like the surface of a lens. The bubble goes out towards the nut". The conical spacer is the innermost ring with a small gap in it and it can be a pain to remove since it's often wedged in tightly between the hub and the axle. One way to get it started is to place the 3/16" punch up against one side of the small gap and tap hard. With any luck that will break it loose. If the conical spacer came out, skip what I'm just about to say, you can now smack the CV axle out through the hub and steering knuckle with a hammer or push it through with a gear puller (since all the brake hardware is still solidly in place). GeneralDisorder writes that "Getting the hub off is easiest if you just smack the end of the axle with a copper or brass hammer..." If the conical spacer didn't come out, you can try what I tried. Attach an 8" gear puller to the hub and crank it until the hub, rotor, and conical spacer pop off together, usually with a nice loud *BANG* to scare the bejeezus out of you (at least it did to me, just be prepared). You'll need to pull the brake calipers off and hang them aside / off the strut springs. You can tell in the photo below that my rotors are in pretty bad shape, and now is a great time to replace them (new ones ~$15/ea at NAPA).
  3. ^ awesome photoshop that next to a justy now.
  4. http://rocksandvalleys.com/about.html hmmm. fun to be had there.
  5. so now driving I-70:grin:, need to watch out for falling rocks, crazy snowboarder traffic, the once every so often bridge girder collapse, and the occasional bullwinkles.
  6. this is not standard protocol, unless you are stranded in the middle of a desert and the fiilter is clogged, would do this just to get you back on the road. The filter is a paper type which absorbs all the particles, once trapped, there is no way to dislodge the sediment from the filament. Do you reuse burned out light bulbs, NO. same on this, it is basically the most critical part of the car. if the filter is newer, than just install it, do not blow air thru it. It will be fine as is.
  7. page 26 has pictures, it is looking nice, coming along even more than i figured. cant wait to see it again
  8. my rescue wagon roof rack is that big, or bigger. Had my 2 SVX tires up there all the way from Chicago back home.
  9. its a subaru, old seals will leak. even new ones will leak. I remember thumbing thru the records for my old Turbo wagon, and at 11 miles on the car, it was back to the dealer for oil leaks. Yes, 11 miles, a new Subaru was back at the dealer for oil leaks.
  10. doesn't the DOHC make it an interference motor? that would sort of be a downgrade, and could possibly be the only reason a ej22t closed deck block could end up to the scrapper. yes, more power, but why not just boost it to 30 psi with a larger turbo for power. the heads are pretty good on a ej22t, this has been discussed before.
  11. i think the dogs were trying to tell you get out the way, Mooses ahead. glad you were not hurt. and Be careful
  12. wtf. how did you pull it out without the clutch pressure plate, did it break off from the flywheel? :eek:
  13. with my parts Brat i just got, its super clean in the shock support wheel wells, see my 82 Brat GL partout pics link. I am in Iowa so this could end up a easy project. The front and rockers on my BRAT are gone, but the bed, is super solid.
  14. look up right on the top side of block, center side, right under the intake runners.....for a blown out hole.
  15. wow the intake throttle body is all gunked up too. I would try to clean that with some spray or something, will help performance.
  16. yes it does, but not 35" tires without a sammy transfer case..
  17. I think the campout guys would be willing to help swap the discs, lots of tools around. I will bring a hogpan to catch brake fluid/blood, etc.
  18. tailgate with chrome, sidearm, and hinges, COMPLETE was thinking ????125?????? that is for everthing attached to it. It is in great shape, one small dent can be seen in picture. chrome is maybe 7 out of 10 tailgate, would give a 8.75 out of 10 due to the dent.
  19. The access plate for the tailgate will stay with the tailgate unless the person does not want them. No on the slant console. Yes grey interior. Console pretty good, shift boot bad, but McBrat makes them. E brake cover is good, will get pictures of the inside tonight.
