+ 1 on water pump seals, theres a wheep hole at the bottom of the pump. cheaper to replace the whole pump. i got this one last week, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUBARU-WATER-PUMP-DL-GL-GL-10-RX-XT-BRAT-1-8L-1985-1991_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a57b5032cQQitemZ250579583788QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

the inner tie rods just unscrew, they have a washer that bends over the joint to keep it from coming loose . its real simple. this thread has pics http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97513

found this thread below

most everything is made in china now anyway, chinas quality is better than it use to be, i buy alot of ebay chinese stuff

Grenade !!!!

Wholly Rock Crawler, nice set up, your doing alot of reasurch for when we cant find any loyales or gls to tear up.. thanks man

is your avetar a picture of "che" the cuban revolutionary ?

thats got to be it. when ideling cold extra fuel is used, when fully warm it idles solely from the idle air controll valve, or IAC , they can be taken out and cleaned, but you dont have a rough idle, you have no idle. check it electrically, or look for one from a junk yard

they have an awsome post in the off road section, people submit pics of there bumpers, lots of ideas there

the differential and transmission are 1 unit, referred as a trans axle, switching from an auto to a manual is a little more involved, you have more parts to swap out, like petal Assembly's, and a few other odds and ends. its not hard, not sure if you can find a 2 wheel drive auto easily. . having owned both , the manual trans is better on gas .and less hi way rpms makes it quieter on freeways. i still run an auto 2 wheel drive wagon, for short city driving , when it blows up ill probably change it to a 5 speed, i have had alot of the auto transmissions fail just like yours did. sorry to confuse you with more opinion.

is this a carburated 86 , 4x4 . fuel injected ? any more info may help to diagnose,

they work awsome, harbor freight has them too ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pinstrip-Decal-ERASER-REMOVER-Brand-new-in-package_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3a580d1e47QQitemZ250585357895QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools

haahaahaa awesome I do that all the time, my wife says "what Subaru" i can identify them by fender, tail light etc. how small of a screen shot,( like just a turn signal in the screen) does it Take to id a Subaru. lol

that cutout wagon looks awesome, convertible sweet !!!!, beautiful part of the world too

thats allot of disassembly to go thru. you could try to use a screwdriver or punch in the flywheel. and a big breaker bar, you can take the rubber plug off the top of the trans to get access, sometimes there a big problem. someone probably used lock tight on it. they come off all the time

sexy red wagon. 400 bucks.. righteous

wow interesting sugestion, major sectioning challange. scott is the master, love the rock crawling doors, and the wagon rear cutoff. awsome

Ive sectioned in 14 Gage sheet metal. it was time consuming, and i did get some flack for it, like junk it and come to Washington state and get a rust free one cheap. there probably right . but i couldn't let her go. the east is very hard on these cars. end result http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98130

super swampers rock. good price on a tuff tire ..tsl tires are made in a 27" x 15 for us little 4 inch lift guys http://www.summitracing.com/search/?keyword=ict-ssr-03r&dds=1

it sucks for sure , but those picks are awesome

isnt there a key code on the inside of the door lock , or can the key be cut using the vin #

adapter brackets would have to be made. not a drop in swap

Ive had similar issues with the coolant temp sensor wire corroding. is was worse when it was cold outside
