MountHood Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Edrach, In one of the pictures for replacing EJ axles there is a drift, the long one, looks to be for driving the axle roll pin back in. Where'd you get it? and thanks for the "how to", replaced both front shafts today. Piece of cake, well sort of. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Any tool supply will carry 3/16" pin punches. Common tool. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I found it on ebay by accident. Great piece of luck too. It's basically a 3/16" drift with a one foot shank. I don't need the extra length for the EA81/82 cars but it's real useful on my Legacy since there's stuff in the way of my hammer using a standard drift tool.

porcupine73 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hm...time to find one of those! I didn't have one so I used a 7/32" pin punch taped in a socket with a socket extension as a drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have an actual Mac tool that is a "Subaru axle pin tool" it was on sale for $14.99, normally $19.99 Yes, a 5/32 punch will work, but the tool has a step on the end that fits inside the pin, makes putting them back in a lot easier. (That and the tool is like a foot long) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Mac axle tool is PN LT-730. Also lifetime warranty. I know cause I have one at work and the tip broke on it. Got a new one when he came around a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
