Replacing a bad rear wheel bearing on my 91 4wd loyale. Found out why it was bad. The locking ring is missing the inside metal lip so dirt got past the seal. If anyone has a replacement ring they would like to sell, i posted in the wanted section.

Timing is where i would look first.

Easy way i have done without taking the pump off is by placing a rag around the oil sprocket and using a oil filter wrench to hold it in place while you wrench to nut off.

Anaerobic gasket maker cures in the absence of air.

Never drive in 4wd on concrete. Only loose soil, rocks, or snow. Or else you will bind up the rear differential.

Got it out using pb blaster to loosen the corrosion, constantly rotating it with a socket, and i used a punch to drive it out when i got the threads level with the head face.

Engine is out. Head is off. I have been using pb blaster and working it in and out with a hammer. But once the threads get almost level with the head face it doesnt go any further. Will try using a punch to persuade it some more.

While taking off the passenger head, the center bolt was stuck on there like no other. I got the bolt unscrewed and the head off (didnt damage the block threads thank goodness), but the bolt is stuck inside the head. It rotates both directions but wont come out. Any suggestions to get it out? And should i replace that bolt or clean it up really well once i get it out?

Hello all. I am looking for a specific rebuild Ea82 rebuild thread that i was following to rebuild my own engine (phone lost all my bookmarks). Original Poster had very detailed pictures of the step by step process of pulling the engine and their tear down of the engine in doing a head gasket/reseal and put back together. I remember one specifc picture of an outside picture of the engine lifted from a light blue cart. Any help is very appreciated. thank you EDIT: Just found the thread (pulling engine through the eyes of a noob). very well written walkthrough.

what should i lube it with?

lots of oem part numbers in this thread here. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/147766-subaru-ea-82-oem-part-numbers/ includes head bolts small and large and washers.

What is the best way to seal the valve covers. Should i go with the molded rubber or just use ultra grey? With thegrommets, should i go aftermarket or dealer?

when you re install, do you have to add new tar glue sealant or what?

How do you pull and repair the sending units? My 91 loyale always gets down to empty even though there is a quarter of a tank of gas left.

I am very interested in where this thread goes. I had this same problem this spring where i started the car, drove it 3 minutes, stopped for gas, and it wouldnt start back up til i came back hours later to possibly tow it. havent had that problem since.
