  2. G'day to you all although I have been reading all of your post over the last year this is my second post so I thougt I would let you know just how crap 2006 wos for me.

    Lets start with January I rolled my work truck. Really lucky three days in hospital 47 stitches in my left ear Yes 47. 10 in left arm two months of work.

    In june the bolts that hold the rear suspension tube on broke while I was on my way home thank god and subaru for 4wd could have been worse two months off the road. October blew the engine(ea81) so I put the one I had just put together in water leaking in to oil like bad real bad. Got given one for free the best price drop it in oil leaking in to the radiator and running crap changed the heads its all good now just in time for the new year and I just bought another BRAT(brumby as they are known here). So every one keep up the good work this is a great site with the best info on all types of subies has help me alot this year

    happy new year to all subie freaks

  3. So I bought a '90 Loyale 4wd auto wagon this weekend. Good thing. Moms hatch is down for the count with water pump and carb issues and I can't get the right new lower rad hose. Bad thing. Well, I decided to make lemonade out two lemons and rob moms non-driving of it's '13 white spokes to the replace the god awful ugly hub caps covering multi colored steelies on the Loyale. The swap was quick other than the fact that center caps wont fit with the wheels on the Loyale, but when I went to back out of the garage, it seemed like my brakes were stuck. Turns out the outer edge of the caliper is rubbing the spokes on the wheels pretty bad. I'm just wondering if anyone else has run into this as well and if so what actions you took to resolve the issue. I was thinking spacers, but I haven't really seen any thin ones around at the parts stores, much less ones for 4 lug. Any ideas?

     

    I had this problem before I used small grinder to remove small amount of metal from caliper were it rubbed on spokes just enough to clear by a couple of millimeters hope this helps.
