I have found that "gentle" use of a propane torch to heat the problem works wonders, exhaust studs, oil pump pressure port, axle nuts, parking brake cables, .... just use one of the soldering types, not the cutting type a good jy should have you can tell you are getting good when you can string together at least 7 !!(*^$!!, don't forget the ... rotten ... dirty... poop happens... ahora ahora is one of my favorite, it means now I personally use a 150 psi 3/4 air supply 3/4" drive impact socket and wrench, and it takes them off every time -

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11848 for a how2 I am guessing from personal experience that you have a broken outer "cage" on the left side, and are possibly missing a ball requiring you to replace the left side axle shaft If you don't have the $80+ for a rebuilt unit, then you can just pull the stub shaft from the main shaft and use RWD

subiemech85 replied to tonon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It would be NICE to have a CLUTCH BRAKE, but it isn't necessary with small synchronized transmissions a CLUTCH BRAKE is used to shift between low and reverse on heavy duty transmissions without grinding -
what's that # for on the bumper? if there are tabs under the stake pockets that won't allow the chain hook to drop down and go around, CUT THEM OUT!!! does the jack have an adjustable base? just needs a chain box well stocked, with the usual.... jack, blocks, chains, binders, bungee cords, wire, wide load signs those fenders are STRONG!!
