It's a duel range four speed out of a 1983 gl hatchback I've had laying around for a while and wanted to get this cv off. Pin was properly installed before I messed up. The tools broken and stuck inside were from before I knew what I was doing and didn't have the tools I do now. I thought hey f it use the cheap napa punch to get this out and that bit me in the butt. Now I have he proper pin tool and have done a few trans swaps and wanted to come back to this after a couple years of letting it sit and wrenching and learning the proper way things are done. Just wanted to see what people on here thought and get friendly advice from someone.

Also the other side won't budge with any sort of yank or twisting motion. Trying to avoid heat to not have to replace or melt seals

I tried that and I can feel the metal slowly getting easier to twist and the part that's in won't budge. Have it soaking in pb blaster right now after an hour of pounding on the other side. I think the roll pin is slightly wedged out *sigh*

Well first off I was dumb and used the wrong tools and now it but me in the butt but now I really gone and goofed up. I have a broken tool stuck in the roll pin spot with the roll pin still in there and now I have a punch stuck in there. I bought the right Subaru roll pin remover tool and that didn't work so I tried a different one that is now stuck in one end. I feel like I'm really screwed on this. Anyone know what I should do besides bang my head on a wall??

I'm also fine with splitting as many trans as it takes to do this lol

It's a 83 gl hatch body fwd. I have a 82 gl 4wd 4 speed tranny but sounds like what I thought and that's the ea81 trans is too small of a diameter.

Hey all Ive read on a couple topics with ej swaps people swapping out cv axle studs to use the ea generation cv axles. Any threads on this? or any one have advice on this? would like to use the ea cv axles so i dont have to do custom ones and keep cost effective in the future. any help appreciated

Sooooo i have 2 out of 4 cv's out. One has a broken push pin tool in it (Passenger side on tranny) and the other is on rear diff driver side with the pin out. I know im pretty boned on the tranny but i just need to know if there is any home tricks to getting them off/could a auto shop help
