hopefully have my hub replaced on my BRAT tomorrow, its been 2 weeks since i drove it :/

no major updates, just waiting on steering knuckle to get in so i can put the BRAT back together, next month is Concourse d' elegance in Pebble Beach,California i will be going there but will also be attending Concourse d' Lemons and will be displaying the BRAT, already got accepted in and here is a look at my old/no good steering knuckle

just went through the same thing, ordered the Luk now i have to send it back for the sachs clutch kit,good thing rockauto is covering return charge since it is there mistake!

quick question hoping you had the answer , I searched but couldn't find anything about this, I got a 1983 ea81 brat gl, I want to get new /remand front calipers off rock auto,the beck/arnley part numbers show some differences being "DL standard trans model" the other being "auto trans model" would these both work, and is there really a difference?

my clutch kit arrived earlier this week some of the pictures of my axle nut falling off, look at that front wheel replacement axles finding out my hub and steering knuckle are no good! and last but not least got this Fuel Pressure Regulator for my Weber Carb Swap

had my axle bolt/castle nut fall off yesterday, now my splines in my driver side front hub are gone, and my steering knuckle is missing a whole lot of itself and not safe at all to drive on! now i sadly have to order a new steering knuckle from subaru @ $220 but can't seem to find a front driver side hub if anyone has a spare for sale ea81 brat/gl wagon/ gl i would gladly buy that off you ! sooner the better, a few EA81' subaru's in pick n pulls but all 3 hour drives just to get there

Got impatient and went out and got this today! For $13 out the door it's a good buy and beats waiting for my $30 tool to get here http://m.harborfreight.com/12-piece-drain-plug-socket-set-94961.html?hftref=cj&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Flegacygt.com%2Fforums%2Fshowthread.php%2Frear-diff-drain-plug-socket-kit-harbor-freight-165335.html%3Ft%3D165335

also forgot to post that am awaiting some goodies in the mail mainly a Holley Low Pressure Fuel Regulator for the weber carb swap and this amazing 13mm allen tool for the differential plugs to make draining /filling a whole lot easier,ran all around town trying to find a 13mm allen but no luck so ordered this http://ultimatetoolco.com/13mm

went to the San Jose Flea Market and found this OEM Subaru Synthetic motor oil at $5 a quart i got it all but probably going to run it in my 1995 impreza instead of the BRAT picked up a WIX air filter since i plan on modding the stock airbox to work with the weber 32/36 thanks to the write-up on here! unclogged airfilter = top speed run in the brat (downhill of course ) random volvo parked next to me lol

so the california highway patrol thought i had someone sitting on lawn chairs in the bed haha,he let me go after i informed him of the legality of the jump seats and after he called his boss to make sure

^I ask myself that almost everyday, I think I will get it tagged in AZ because I'm not trying to deal with California DMV/smog shops/California smog nazis... But on a more USMB related note going to be swapping front axles and replacing clutch and rear main seal this 4th of July weekend, went with CarQuest axles at $62 a piece and lifetime warranty and went with a $65 LUK clutch kit!

*took off the Peugeot wheels and put the stock 13" wheels back on, the good thing about the stock wheels is that they have new Pirelli tires on them...new from like 2001/2002 but still new haha the cracks scare me but there been holding air!

*putting these Hella Dual Tones on today *and since no one wants buy the 3rd eye/ Cyclops front end off me i will be putting it on the BRAT! i heard something about a certain relay being needed, any info on that?

*minor updates, brush guard finally on! *already put the trans mounts on ,doing ball joints and rear main seal when i install new Luk clutch and do front axles ,also drained trans and diff fluid replaced with 80w90 chevron universal gear oil gl5, trans shifts smooth no grinds at all! *took the BRAT to a local auto parts swap meet

update! after much procrastinating and lagging i finally replaced the oil pan gasket and replaced oil pump gaskets and valve cover gasket! deleted the a/c/removed the a/c pump! the weight reduction was much needed! took the brat to my local Dealer to order OEM intake manifold gaskets for my Weber Carb swap!

eve even the smog tech loved the brat! passed smog so i can now get my license plates! going to be replacing oil pump gasket this weekend!
