theres two bolts... umm either 17mm or 14mm that remove the whole caliper... id take them off and remove the whole thing, that is what I did, but I didnt get to remove my whole caliper, I just unbolted it, turned the piston back into its boot 100% and then bled the nasty fluid out and so far its been going great

Sure either direction will work, do what suits you, although the trans swap would give you the lower gears, then you can do the lift and tires together at once.

This seems to explain it the best on how to remove the caliper.

Its not a ring, its the piston, but I guess, yes the "shiny" part of that would be the piston... But someone will chime in, if not, refer to your repair manual or FSM and it should tell you there.

New tranny is easy, you wanna do a D/R swap anyway

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/2430276804.html 1992 Subaru Loyale 5 Speed, needs clutch and battery - 775$ firm might be a good one to start with..

You have to pay CLOSE attention when doing your re-drilled hubs. A hack job will be unsafe, pay close attention to measurements and check twice drill once. The trans swap is pretty straight forward if I recall from reading. You will need the center console from a EA82 D/R car, and the transmission obviously. A new clutch is not needed, but if you need one, then you might as well get one.

And no, no damage is done to the engine if a timing belt breaks.

SOOO many people put Loyales and stuff as AWD, they arent all wheel drive. They are 4WD push button. But because the 4WD logo looks like it says AWD, thats what they put. I have NEVER seen an AWD Loyale, I plan to make my GL an AWD eventually, with a frankenmotor and AWD swap, but as for that one, I doubt its AWD, if it was, it was swapped and why sell it for so little if it was swapped? Theres been a few nice ones up in Seattle craigslist but Im reading that theyre carbed.

I might be game Ill see a event thread right? I might go if other stock rigs are going, so I dont look funny haha

Youve got some of the best names on this forum telling you what to do with this project.... I would take a listen. This isnt your typical forum, there are more knowledgeable people on this board than there usually is. I would start with a lift... get a lift and some tires to help you crawl around, Ive seen stock EA82s lifted and with bigger tires do just fine offroad. Asking for help is fine, but listen to the help you are given. Several reputable names have been thrown out to give you the right information for your project, and like Heartless said, its not instant gratification, unless you have a couple grand burning a hole in your pocket to just dump on the car right now.

GL-10s have rear discs if I recall... SOME regular GLs might have them as a luxury option, but mine doesnt. You can do the conversion, from what I remember its a bolt in process. Ill do it someday, but Ill do a 5 lug at the same time Any luck? I havent seen any good ones, saw an 86 GL for 1400 with 150k but its a sedan.

Is this what your after? it says the napa part number... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=104840&highlight=swap+napa

It shouldnt matter. Wagons are probably more common..

bahahahaha

I want a tear drop for my car Get rear discs... youll want/need the extra stopping power

Here you go... Start reading and enjoy! http://www.numbchuxconversions.com/Files/EA2EJ.pdf

IIRC its a first gen legacy EJ22... 1990-1994

Buy yourself a legacy parts car... (maybe even an EJ22 engine vehicle?) so you can take the stuff out from the same car when you need it. Search for info on the swap and learn it well Lifts can come from Mike in Wilsonville OR (username: Michael Appel) or from SJR in Bellingham WA (username: Scott In Bellingham) One person to talk to, that I would recommend is Spencer, username OBK25XT. He has a Loyale wagon with an EJ22, built to the teeth... This car is a beast offroad, might ask for some info on his car, it is for sale, so theres some info in his for sale posting, but you could build this out of your loyale, and your 4 runner buddies will be jealous... Welcome aboard, nice Loyale! Looks like its a great little ride!

^ might give you a few good laughs too haha

Theres a 1981 Hatch here in Portland for 1200 or best offer... Rust free, 107k original miles etc. Looks quite clean, so its probably safe to say 2000 isnt a bad price if its in really good condition.. Check for rust, body dents, etc. Look under them too, I remember out at GDs, an OBS had some under body damage from offroading that nobody saw when it was purchased

Wheres that? I wanna go Ill be stock... so Ill park and chase after you guys on my bike But I wanna see the lifted rigs and have fun too

zombie thread But I must say those wheels are SICK! I think if I could get my hands on a set of them, Id keep my 4 lug... But since its that spendy, ill go with a 5 lug and EJ AWD swap

Itd be a great decision, Ive loved both my scoobs with Webers on them but I agree in finding a problem before upgrading
