The Dude Abides

You might want to make one up for the gen 2 brat guys.

I got the bearing alright but stilling looking for a place to do it. The old man with all the tools that usually helps me doesnt work out in the cold. No mick in not talking about you.

Only problem i can see is removing the castle nut since i put it back on with air tools and broke my socket wrench. Then also takeing off the special nut holding the axel on. Since i dont think its ever been taken off.

Anyone ever try to remove this without air tools.

I still need to do this, but sadly i dont know if its going to be this year. Things are humming along nicely back there:rolleyes:

You are way to afraid to take your brat on a trail like that.

Is it just me, or are people makeing this harder then it needs to be. I thought all you needed to do was raise your car off the ground. Allow the front wheels to hang free. Unbolt the top of the strut from the car so it hangs down a bit with the suspension. Stuff in the lift blocks then reassemble with longer bolts and your done. No i havent done this lift before but from what oneeyes descriptions are it seems bout that easy.

And brent you reallly cant clasify that as a beater.

Bump, No one answered my coolant temp sensor problem.

Ill take that ss off your hands.

Nope 1600 but lord knows what dennis has shoved in there now.

Oh sheesh i didnt mention the best part, brand new tires all around. And its a wagon. If i get another car guido, well...................... and yea ej22

Yea its got a tach, but sorry no pic.

1996 Subaru Legacy AWD 5 speed 158000 miles. Manual doors and windows, no rust. roof rack. $1950obo... One owner.

There are write ups on here about doing redrilling. Redrilling for 4 - 5 - and 6 lug. Some are more difficult then others. Keep trying the search function, you will find what you seek.

One way good sir.

What size tire are you running now markus56 and what type of roof bars are you running. And how did you fasten the bedframe to the roof bars.

Pretty sure you have a ea wagon like me. I instanned 6.5 speakers in my door with no problem.

I guess its safe to assume that the tank is more then likely behind that wheel well pannel. Looks like a pain in the butt to take off. Yea the bottom of my hose wasnt attached to anything, but i need to check it out. Would be nice to have that this winter.

How and where can i access this. I tried to get it to work tonight, the pump still pumps. Turned it on and it puked it all out the quarter pannel. Somethings not hooked up. Oh and a side question. Anyone have a good way to stick the interior pannels back under the rubber seal around the glass. Ben

Well mount up sir, well head out there next summer.

Me

Timeing belts are fairley new, but i do hear noises from the timeing cover. I suspect it is the tensioners but how would that be an interment problem Also, brent i dont have anything to do the compression test with.

Good sir, i have 200k on the original motor in my car. Saying this will happen again is kinda a shot in the dark. Sure it might happen again, then it might now. What you can do is throw a cheep motor in there for now so you got transportation. Then do the work yourself, its not that hard. Especially if you dont need that engine to run your car. If you dont have a place to do it then thats one thing. If i were you i would save my money for something else like a nice legacy. I like my loyale but it isnt the greatest for somethings. Your kinda dumping alot of money into something not worth that much. I love my car but im not spenging 1200 bucks for a motor to go into a 500 dollar car. Just saying and not bashing, believe me. If youve got that much to spend then why not go legacy shopping. Might not run into so many problems. I never did catch where you are from.

Dude you can pick up a used engine for 500 bucks or less depending on where you are. Spend the day putting it in yourself and your golden. If your a poor college student, think like one.
