ballitch Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 so i got a parts car in the JY i can cannibalize for this swap, but i need to know how the heck im going to get the rear hubs out of the XT6..........do they just "slide" out with a little "effort" or do i have to buy the whole rear "knuckle" assembly and have the hub pressed out? i tried a couple search parameters and not much of anything came up pertaining to my dilemna. anyway, if you know how im supposed to do this, please by all means learn me somethin'. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 From what I understand, the rear of the conversion is simple. After you remove the castle nut, and caliper, the hub should slide off the splines like any older subaru. Then you remove the backing plate and whatnot. Shouldnt take any effort at all. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Sometimes a couple good taps with a large rubber mallet will help persuade the hubs to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru_styles Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 just take off the rear disks/hub w/ the rear swing arms. doing so you will have mounting points to add a rear swaybar;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 just take off the rear disks/hub w/ the rear swing arms. doing so you will have mounting points to add a rear swaybar;)Yea, the entire rear suspension is interchangeable between the XT-6 and all EA82 series cars.

ballitch Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 thats go to know.......but with the accord rear springs on my GL, it is too stiff as is, it would probably oversteer if i even mentioned the word oversteer. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
