I am doing an axle swap on a 96 legacy wagon and It is fighting me every step of the way. I got the pin out and the axle nut off easily but the tie rod fought me, and the ball joint is still fighting me. I took the bolt out that holds the ball joint to the spindle and jacked up the rotor and tried like hell to pry the control arm off it but it only budged about 1/4 inch. Anyone have any ideas? I replaced the 2 axles in my 90 in less time than it took me less time than it is taking me to get this one out. What gives?? Tips and tricks are greatly appreciated.

As most of you know I hosted the meet and greet on the 15th of January. The attendance was poor due to the weather and poor circumstances with some of the USMB member. I would like to thank Erik and Mike for coming out and bringing their Roos. I would like to try and do this again but this time get a larger crowd. We would meet at the Twistee Treat ice cream stand on Goldenrod Rd in Winter park, FL (Orlando) I was thinking the 19th (saturday) or the 20th (sunday) bit I would like to know from the people who would like to attend, which day would be better for you. I am open to suggestions so feel free to hit the "reply" button.

I would go with 6.5 coaxials in the back and some components in the front. That is 6.4 in the door with crossover and tweeter mounted either on the pilar or (my personal trick) behind the rearview mirror. It bounces off the glass and isn't so "directional" if you know what I mean. I have done this trick for many high dolar installs and haven't had one complaint. Hell...I even did it on Cecil Fielder's sons car. Someone needs to teach that boy to drive. His dad bought him 19 inch Racing Hart rims and he cracked one in less than a week. Spoiled brat.

It seems like everytime I let my car sit for a few hours it has a hard time starting. It used to fire on the first crank but now it takes about 3 or more trys to get it to go. When the car is finally running it idles fine and seems to run ok. What gives? For a while when I would start the car the idle would drop down to the point where I thought it would stall but it would come back up and idle fine. Josh said I should spray brake cleaner into some hose but I never got the chance. Any suggestions would be great. It scares me to think that the Roo might leave me stranded somewhere.

It kinda does sound like the cat. Perhaps when it gets hot it swells therefore not letting axhaust flow properly. If this happens at night get out and look at the ground under the car. It should look like your car has neon tubs under it because your car it glowing red because it is soooo hot. J/k If and when this happens you might want to pop into an exhaust shop and have them do a thermo test. They use the laser thermometer to take the cats temp. If it is out of range for your vehicle then they know what the problem is. I had that test done on my RV and turns out that the cat was the problem. It's a good place to start. I knew mine was clogged because my car was running like crap and my wife's feet were getting very, very hot.

I have a 90 legacy 90-94 are mostly alike. EJ22 2.2 4cyl engines. I know of only one cam sensor and it is mounted on the drivers side timing cover. It is on the rear of the timing belt cover. If you were to pull the timing cover off you would see it attached to the other hal of the timning cover. It looks like a watch battery from the front. Shouldn't be too hard to replace. Do a search on the board for "legacy trouble codes." Also look up legacy777 (josh) and see his website (link at bottom of one of his posts) there you will find the codes as well. ( I think)

Owning a 90 legacy wagon I have asked the same question. The answer has always been..."you are better off buying an older roo that can be lifted for a muuuuuuuch lower price." I know there are some companies over seas that make them but figure the price and then shipping all that metal overseas....$$$$$$$$$$ Like you wanted to hear this.

Get the front end up in the air a tad. Remove the rad cap and bleed screw on the passengers side of the radiator (on top). Start the car, fill the radiator and let it run. The t-stat will open therefore allowing the coolant level to drop. Add more coolant untill fluid is coming out of the bleeder hole. install rad cap and bleed screw. Drive on. Your cooling system is bleed.
