Just loosen it up, they should just slide past, but if they don't, try a flat head screw driver and a hammer. -
You also get something in your email, I did anyway
-
I believe SJR (Scott in Bellingham) is getting ready to do this to his Legacy. Maybe ask him some questions. I know it's been done before
-

new to subarus need help

It will work but you will need the whole rear crossmember with the rear diff etc. And then you'll have to drill out the holes to mount the assembly. It has been done and can be done -
po420 stands for catylist efficiency below thresh hold. Which states right in there is the cat. I agree with The Scooby. A large reason for this code is the crappy regular gas that is sold now. Try running a higher octane gas and maybe even an octane booster. Hold off on replacing the 02 senso

yes it will swap into your car. You'll need the driveshaft, clutch, flywheel, possibly the rear diff as well, and a few wires and odds and ends. But well worth doing. -
Here is an EA82 (Thanks The Loyale) And here is an EA81 (Mine) So anything from the EA81 style will fit your car
-
They made your style car in those years plus a few. Any axles from either side from a car that has the same body style as your car will fit in.
-
They did start making that style in 1980 but most likely anything that old will be the older Gen 1 body style which is different. Good luck with your search!
-
You have an 83 GL which is the EA81 body style. The next newer body style which was made from 85-94 is known as EA82. The axles do not interchange. an axle from either side of another EA81 will work. Any from 82-89 with the same style body as yours.

Twitch says his is for sale

Is the coolant topped off? If you do change the thermostat, use an OEM one from Subaru
-
My plan is to do what jbbvw did, and use EA82 control arms, knuckles, axles, and lengthened radius rods and tie rods. That should help a lot with the camber issue. And I can get new EA82 axles from the local NAPA and so far they have been very strong.

It's good you have someone to give you a hand on the wiring! It does look a lot better once all the extra is cut out. Good luck with it, can't wait to see it! -
Ok so what control arm and knuckle set up would you have to run in order to use the FWD Impreza axles?
-
^what he said, I just needed a bigger wrench and I used a pair of vise grips because that what I had. But before that you just need to deal with the lock ring that is just bent in to lock it in place. Very easy to do just have another look at it. Good luck!!

Man that really is a thing of beauty! So clean!! A+ job -
Here's mine http://www.cardomain.com/id/bratman86 It was rated #1 Brat on cardomain last month!
-
I want to see something done for the front!
-
Yeah mine were actually 205 75 14 but measured 26 1/4 when new
-
Look at the plugs where they plug in, if they are the same they should be interchangeable
-
You use the EA81 axles. That stays the same. And you can use the same throwout bearing. I'm pretty sure they are the same between the two anyway
