  1. i have to agree with the flame wrench idea. You could find someone with a torch set up and have them heat the nuts for you. you only need the nuts red hot most of the time. the nut will get hot and expand therefore breaking the rust bond. Take your tool set with you. Loosen them, drive back home to complete the work.
  2. seems to me if I understand you that is, you may be able to drill out the Honda hubs to the correct 1/4" larger diameter and just use longer bolts to go through the wheel then the hub and into the rotor. A lot of trailers and farm equpment use bolts instead of a stud and nut to hold wheels on with. The heads have tapered shoulder. The only problem might be the spline count on the axle shafts may be different. Might could just use the Subaru hubs and Honda rims with the holes drilled 1/4" larger to fit. Anyone else understand this or am I in my own little world?
  3. hey I like that swing out spare tire assembly too.
  4. if your AC has not worked for 3 years you will have to replace the expansion valve and most likely the drier. Add one ounce of oil per item replaced. I use R12a, a compatible freon alternative, no oil flush lower head pressures. Find it here http://www.foxtoolsupply.com/HC-12a.htm. My system took about a can and a half.
  5. yes GD I agree, Warning::this is from Aussie land.
  6. sounds like the headlamp switch to me. Do your headlamps flicker?
  7. this has some good stuff in it, part 1http://willsmith.dtdns.net/Subaru%20Manuals%20and%20Diagrams/Gregorys%202wd%20&%204wd%201979-1994%20Subaru%20Manual%20-%20part%201.zip and part 2 http://willsmith.dtdns.net/Subaru%20Manuals%20and%20Diagrams/Gregorys%202wd%20&%204wd%201979-1994%20Subaru%20Manual%20-%20part%202.zip
  8. the coup's winshield tilts more to the back and thus makes it longer from the bottom to the top.
  9. it should also be mentoned that your thermo switches may not open with a lower temp thmostat i tied a lower temp one and my gas mileage went down, returned to the stock temp and better running and economy was the result.
  10. this has one for an 89T mpfi. I do not remember what year they changed from a carb. It's free at http://willsmith.dtdns.net/Subaru%20Manuals%20and%20Diagrams/EA82%20-%20Service%20Manual%20Part%201%20of%202.zip
  11. i wonder if the vinyl decal erasers which fit in the drill might not work. get them at the autobody supplies shop.
  12. you can advance the timing about 2 degrees see if that helps. just have to remember to turn it back come smog check time.
  13. i used limo black on my t-tops. the tint will stick to the waffle area but not to the solid ceramic around the edge.
  14. i always felt Subaru owners were a resourceful lot, now I know it is worldwide!
  15. you will still need a three to two convertor if you do it yourself. are you any good with a VOM? Seems to me the hidden hitch connector looks to be the way to go
  16. try this one it's free. http://willsmith.dtdns.net/Subaru%20Manuals%20and%20Diagrams/LegacyOwners_manual_Scans.zip
  17. i use my 22mm open end wrench, stick the open end straight on to the piston and turn.
  18. we used to just put standard shocks and struts in. it was that simple.
  19. if it was under a tree for two years it could have some water in the fuel supply. as far as the ignition prob, mice will do a number some times, any nests?
  20. general, I understand your question but do not know the answer. I think this would be very usefull information to know. please keep us posted.
  21. windshield urethane. gets all over everthing. clean with lacquer thinner or acetone. get the slow set if you can.
  22. this may help if i can attach it. it is what i did. Digital Dash conversion.zip
  23. take a part with the color on it(gas tank door) to the auto paint stor, they can look it up easily.
