GLCraig Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I got mine on Ebay but you don't need the Subaru tool. There are a few other methods of extraction. You can find a longer bolt and grind the head down so it fits down the bore of the pin and hooks the back side; attach the other end to a slide hammer. I think someone here, instead of using a slide hammer they attached a washer and nut to the other end and pulled them out with a claw hammer. There might be a expanding mandrel type tool out there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 get your hands on some 7'' or 8'' bolt with a 1/8'' diameter, bend a 90 degree bend in it with the help of a vise and BFH, gring off the end of the hook so you only have about an 1/8'' to 3/16'' hook, just enough to slide through the piston pin, and pull like hell. when i did mine on my EA82 teardown, i used a length of chain link fence.......................hey now, it was the only thing i could find/think of at the time...................... ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I used a 5/16 bolt and filed down the head except on one side. It worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
