Crazy brake adjusting thing


Recommended Posts

Tom knows his brakes on these cars!

 

They are a little archaic, but certainly not life altering. Ive debated this swap befor, due to the cost of a drum or 2 and the junk yard only having ea82 cars, in stock. Still ended up cheaper just to order a set of pads and a drum. Probably not worth the hassel to swap them over unless you have a setup handy or come across a set of ea82 rear disks. The parts for the EA81 drums are still available and they are very easy to service (due to the lack of a self adjustment system). Of corse you do have to adjust them from time to time. Its not every week and even if it was its a pretty simple task.

 

Answer to your question: my guess is Subaru stopped importing EA81 cars to the states in 1989 perhapse thats when these stopped being produced for our market.

oops.... i saw a red 1987 GL-10 at the junkyard about a year ago with rear disk brakes and in pretty good condition but didn't bother since i thought i could just find some other ones on another GL, woopsy, should have gotten them, it was crushed 10months ago.
