Just to verify, either way the starter should come out in order to clean the contacts, correct? Thanks.

Thank you all kindly for the advice. I was worried it was something a little more involved. You get spoiled working on a 1981 Subaru, ya know??

Is there any special trick to changing the starter motor in a 1996 Legacy 2.5 GT? Every couple of weeks I turn the key and get nothing. After I wait a couple of seconds and try again, it starts right up. Never ever had an issue with it until this happened about two months back. Thanks for any advice!

Brian---Okay, I have a lead on place. Sure these are better than MWE's? I found it odd that the warranty on the rebuilt stuff is actually longer than on the NEW EMPI's!! Oh well, thanks again.

Brian- Thanks much! Any leads on who carries EMPI??? I cannot imagine that is something AutoZone has... Alex

If this is the wrong section for this post, please redirect this post and accept my apologies. Yesterday, I removed the front axles from my '81 wagon (car has less than 80,000 miles). The axles seemed in perfect shape (I took them out due to the typical noise associated with bad joints--but, maybe I was wrong?) My question is should I send these to MWE Axles in Colorado (widely recommended by many on this site but more expensive than local and shipping for my cores is ridiculous) or should I try a decent remanufactured brand? I am prisoner to the local AutoZones and O'Reilly Auto Parts stores...I really do not have much of a selection. Your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Great look! Very retro...looks fantastic with the brush guard.
