Poor car.

Has anyone used this tool before. Retails for $89 and is suppose to make life easier for installing axle shaft into bearing/hub. I need to change out a re-man front half shaft on my '91 Loyale (4WD) and have been researching old threads and advice. Just wondering if it was worth it. There's a professional Subaru tool for about $500. I won't go there. Thanks! -Keith

My name is Keith. Live in MT. And my ride is a '91 Loyale wagon. 4WD manual. EA82 SPFI. 170K (and the fourth owner). Bought her this same time a year ago. I'm looking forward to to some dirt floor mechanic work as soon as the snow is gone. Love the site and know it will be a huge asset. Especially since my Chilton manual seems a little vague. My Subaru experience so far has been very basic (oil, plugs, fuel filter, etc) but am excited to know this car inside and out. I recently acquired a set of older generation spoke wheels thinking they would fit the Loyale. Wrong. Live and learn I guess. My first car was an '87 GL wagon. I made the mistake of selling it in 1999. Guess that's why I bought the Loyale? Anyways, I'm very glad such a site exists! -K
