  1. Yard, 1 10mm nut and a spring clip. tough to get at, but it will come out.
  2. Yes, you can do it. It is held to the support with 2 10mm nuts. No you don't have to replace the seal.
  3. Pretty easy to pull it as previously stated. UPAP price is $60 for a complete bumper. Not bad.
  4. I'd purchased a aluminum radiator for a 2001 Impreza, I posted it here. All aluminum the only down side was it did not have the auto trans cooler in it if you needed that. Great price too.
  5. Tape will not hold pressure. I've installed early 90's radiators into 98-99 Legacy Outbacks, you just have to get the fans and the top brackets as well. Easy to find all metal aftermarket radiators on the older subarus that are almost new.
  6. She took it into one of the larger tire stores, tires, Struts. Got it back and it was worst than before. Turns out they had put the wrong struts on it, so they corrected that and replaced the rotors. A happy Subaru now.
  7. Don't the airbags have a long term warrantee?
  8. I think the bends in the muffler pipe are different and the rubber mount points are different. You may be able to make it work but is it worth it?
  9. You don't need a dual pipe, a single will be fine. If your pipe is good, you could always have the muffler welded on. Some mufflers are longer than others and may not fit in the hole. Check FedEx international, I might be able to ship you a stock US one from Colorado for less.
  10. If you end up needing a good filler pipe, let me know I have a couple and could pull one for you. $25 shipped. Larry, CO
  11. Shawn you are going to make all of the rust belt people mad. Love CO, Larry
  12. More the steering wheel, but I'll double check the rear brakes. Thanks
  13. A friend has a 99 SUS sedan 160K on it. It has a pretty good brake shimmy when stopping. Driving is fine and smooth. I checked for the normal things: - Turned the front rotors and installed new pads - Changed out the rack as there was a little play in it and I had a low mileage one (35K) - Checked for loose tie rod ends, wheel bearings, ball joints, they all seem fine. The front inner tire was worn down to the steel cords. I tried a different set of tires and rotating the tires on the car. While all of these efforts reduced the shimmy, none of them corrected it. She needs new tires, struts (not leaking but soft) and an alignment. I'd really like to find the source of the shimmy before new tires are put on. Anything I'm missing?
  14. If you can put an amp meter in the circuit, start pulling fuses 1 by 1 and see where your draw is coming from. Lots of lights share a comon ground so if you lost the ground the lights will not work. On a 97 Impreza, some younger mechanics has cut the radio harness and saw 12vdc on one of the wires. They thought it was the power for the radio, when it was really the ground for all of the dash lights. The ground was provided by the radio or ash tray light. Get the wire diagrams and see where the ground and power are for all the circuits you are concerned with. I bet there is a common wire.
  15. So the car will start and the Battery is charging when the engine is running? Have you checked both fuse boxes, the one in the engine bay and the one under dash? Check the grounds in the engine bay, up on the drivers front corner and behind both struts. Battery terminals good and clean? Has this been going on for awhile or did it just happen?
  16. Have to lower the rack some or pull the steering column back. I'd go with the rack. drop the exhaust, just off the engine is enough. Remove the jack pad on the cross member, Remove the 4 rack bolts. Then it's just pulling the 12mm ujoint bolts. Assemble in reverse order keeping the steering wheel and front end in the same positon.
  17. Doesn't get any easier. Needs TB Covers, knock sensor and a few bolts on the passenger fuel rail. Clutch looked pretty new if you need that.
  18. No not normal. You should have to step on the brake. Pull the little cover and look at the front of the shifter that's were the solenoid is.
  19. I pulled a 95 2.2, non egr today with 191K on it. The PO took care of the car and the compression felt good. I needed on with an EGR and the head was not drilled for it. (I know it can be done, but I didn't want to mess with it). So if you need a good 2.2 for your project all you have to do is hit the DEN UPAP row B1, green wagon and pick up the engine.
  20. Take all the 2.2 engine seals you have! Lmdew2@gmail.com Thanks
  21. Rods are OK, Door Wiring is OK, it works from the kick panel plug if I put power and ground to it. Car is Sold, new owners didn't care. Thanks for the info. Larry
  22. Thanks, There is an open on the one wire, so I'm thinking it got cut somewhere when the Security system was put in. I have not found it yet.
  23. well versed in the 2.5 to 2.2 swaps. Just trying to avoid shipping and full price yard costs.
