  1. I've never needed a puller yet and I've yanked many steering wheels off of Subarus.Give it a shot first.Lots of short tugs instead of trying to force it in one big tug. Sometimes a tiny bit of side to side movement helps as you pull it towards you. Geez,I could swear it was clockwise,but then again I'm a little backwards sometimes. Happy to help.
  2. OK,did you re-read my post after editing?Try that and let me know how you made out. My son is taking over the computer so I'll check back later. If you still have my number you're welcome to call me.I'll be watching Scooby-Doo or something like that. School closings for a little white stuff-phooey!!! Mom and Dad-send daycare!!!!!!!:-p
  3. Trudy,the screws are from the windshield side of the steering wheel.Should be two Philips screws. Correction,I think it's only ONE screw on the driver's side. If you have a 4 spoke wheel you have to hold the wheel and turn the pad clockwise about a half inch or less to disengage the pad.
  4. Wait...I think I have a picture here somewhere...... ok here it is...... :lol:
  5. That sounds like mtsmiths,a.k.a. Smitty,who's also made it east for a Pine Barrens run. Miles,if you head east you'll probably blow away my 19 states worth of people. I know there's at least one more state I'm forgetting.Must.....hit....twenty....states....
  6. Right,I know in the Maritimes it's needed,probably the same out west....you turn a corner and there's a sudden fogbank thick as can be.Good law.But,you'll buy headlights every couple of years.
  7. That's right,it's not about the cars it's about the people.So bring earplugs. Seriously,it's 4 hours from Bridgeport,at reasonable speed.I'm probably leaving Saturday moring around 5-6AM if you guys are up for caravan action. There's an outside chance that we might do the family thing and cabin camp,or tent camp,or cheapy hotel.If that's the case I'll be there Friday night. Sometime in the next couple of months we'll work out who's going and who can caravan down from New England.
  8. Action,suspense,drama....I love it!!!!!! Glad to see you actually have the time,place,and patience to see your way through....and of course the extra choke.
  9. Nah,I had a good group at my workshop a few years back.And we had some good groups at Pine Barrens and Carlisle. Here's the real picture of the northeast people: The autocross course we had: And the party after: :-p Sorry Eric,I'll make it up with some legit East Coast Subathusiast photos.
  10. I say we all offer him $50-300 for it before the auction dies a miserable death. Well,you can dress it up but you can't sell it anywhere.:-p
  11. Elad,Did I send you the grill??? I know I had it boxed and ready to go.Then things got crazy. If I didn't send it then it'll go out in April,after the first warm weekend with no rain.
  12. Personal experience says do the SeaFoam flush.It gets a good amount of the old crap out.Don't forget that unless you pull and empty the torque converter you never actually flush all the old fluid out.But it's still a good thing to do it and not worry just yet that you didn't go all out. Give it time.And most of all make sure you fill it to the proper level. I read the wrong part of the manual and filled about halfway because I confused the amount needed for the differential.Then it acted MUCH better but still needed to get some miles done to make it shift excellent again. I also changed the modulator,which is super easy and around $20-30 tops.
  13. '71-73 only as for the US. Brian,let's all talk together soon.
  14. Andrew,tried to call you this AM...I see that you posted late last night.I hope you grabbed a hotel. I'd have called you more last night but I crashed out....hope you didn't do the same,while driving. Call me today,please.
  15. The car was sold to Andrew,not me.I'll take the next one that shows up.
  16. Sory guys,just getting the computer back up....I'll be back later.
  17. Sorry,computer been down........ I'd really really like an FE engine.I was thinking about the one in Maine,sorry,couldn't get back to you this week.Just sent a message,we'll talk. Sent a message to Russ too...I'll call you two guys tomorrow,thanks. As for this FE,it's not going to be sold off the yard lot.They just won't do it since they've already turned over the VIN tag to the DMV. I would like the engine and tranny....anyone willing MUST get this tomorrow or Sunday...or before the 9th of February...or it'll be crushed. I'd also pay for a few other parts as well.Please contact me if you can make there and we'll talk.Thanks!
  18. All 1977 Stage II thru 1979 Subarus have the same lower front door hinge.Hunt out a parts car online.It works really great.You'll be refered to yards with the car/part you need begining with those closest to you....sorry if you knew this already.
  19. Exactly..... A gold/orangish grill ornament should be from a '77 Stage II. But,grills can be swapped.I think mine is a gold/orangish color and my car is listed as a '78. Red is 1978 and blue is 1979
