on my 93 i was able to get a big screwdriver in and pry the piston back. I was replacing the rotors anyway and was not worried about them. once i had it all apart i did have to finish pushing them in with a clamp.

use anti seize on the pad slides and make sure you put everything back in.

Thanks, Ok I understand that I will have a speedo problem (reading slow or fast I cant remember) and that I may end up with some rubbing. its not going to do anything to the AWD?

will the 15" sub wheels bolt on directly? What would be the right size going from the 195 70 14 to 15? Thanks

15" tires on a 93, is it possible to bolt on a set? I currently run the stock size 195-70-14

I do most of my own work and my brother and I just change the evap in my mothers 95 caravan. She was quoted 1200 bucks for to replace hers. From what I have read and understand from all the AC posts here a sub is easier. Hopefully Legacy777 will chime in at some point. He seems to be the AC goto guy here.

my 93 will shift at redline (6500) only if I get the little green "power" light to come on. What does the "power" light mean?

I have had my 93 for about 6 yrs now and shortly after I got it I had it up to around 118-120 and the front was getting a little light and I was running out of road. I don't have a clue what the rpms were,

another issue I have. But in the winter my windows freeze up and i can't get them open. Usually happens after a decent day and then a cooooold night. seems to always freeze internal

Not sure what the code #s are on my 93, but when you guys recomended me to replace my temp sensor, I had a knock, throttle position, and a couple of others I dont remember. So this temp sensors seems to play all kinds of havoc.

thanks for the help. I finally found the colprit, the adjustment pully was kinda gummed up from many yrs of no use. Cleaned and lubed, no more squeel I hope Jim

once again I have loosened and retightened the ac belt, checked all voltage from the battery (car off) the relays, and the output at the compressor plug. All are 12-13 volts. The guy I had helping me noticed that it appeared to be the whole belt slipping so now I am going out to check the adjustment pully for any resistance

do you have a remote starter? My sisters van used to lock itself all the time untill they took out the remote starter.

I have had someonbe assist me and its deffinatly the AC squeeling. It does it only on start up of the compressor.

Hopefully someone can help. I have a 93 Legacy wagon 2.2 146,000 miles and I just replaced the compressor. I was able to use a zexel off a 95. Bolted up identical. The AC works awsome, but know I get a squeel. Sometimes breifly and others it takes a couple of minutes. My question Knowing that the clutch is magnectic, could I possibly have a weak altinator? not allowing a full grab or would it be a clutch going bad? What I have already done Replaced shot compressor with one from a 95 new belts - adjusted a couple of times, thought I had it, was real bad, now intermittent after getting system filled had a problem getting power to the compressor, jumped it and worked fine, played with the relays and really don't know what I did, but it works. What should I have for amps / volts at the compressor and relays coming from the alt? Any ideas? Thanks, Jim

Hey, that sounds like what mine is doing. I thought it may be the uneven roads we have here in Maine, but I guess I need to check out some suspension.

On my 93, I jumped the wire coming off the compresser to the positive on the battery to make sure mine was working. I played with the relays and it finally works like it should. On your 97 I dont know how many wires you have on the compressor. From my experience, sub used two different styles/brands. calsonic & zexal Hopefully Legacy will check in. He seems to be the guy to go to for a/c info. Jim

I dont know what I did but I got it to stop squeeling. After taking the belt off and then resetting it and adjusting no more squeel. Maybe I had it to tight or not setting on the pully correct.

Legacy, Mine is a 93 and was r12, so it must have been 94 and I know 95 is 134 Jim

I by no means know anything about the ac. I will take a look in my haynes manual to see if there is a wiring schematic. I had to mess around for over an hr before mine decided to work. Now it squeels

the belt is tight and nearly to full adjustment. after reading a few other posts here and somewhere else that maybe I have it a little to snug. I hope legacy chimes in before to long. He seems to be the legacy guy in these parts.

on my 93, drivers side right next to the washer bottle under a dust cover

The biggest thing I have heard around here were I am at with the auto lockers is the electric drive motor that ingages the transfer case. Usually strips the gears out and from a few mechs that I know., its mostly from lack of use that does it. I dont know how my AWD really works but I love it. I have drove around trucks stuck in the snow. All I do is let the front spin slightly untill the rear kicks in and away I go.

what are the symptoms? I had a bad connection in one of the relays on my 93.

UPDATE: The 95 A/c compressor will work. I finally got it on and out to the shop. After hooking up everything and starting a vac check, the tech said"Well that's a good sign" I asked him what he ment and he ststed that it pulled 28lbs of vac real quik. After the cycle, we put in 1.99lbs of 134 and then could not get the clutch to kick on (later to find out that the relay needed to be reset) Now it will freeze you out of the back seat. Now I have a problem with the clutch squeels for about a minute when it kicks on. Is there anyway to lube the clutch? I just fixed it and don't really want to have to go through it again. Thanks, Jim
