  1. drop the roll bar links and it will come down easier. That corrosion can be cured with lots of heat, but you may damage the bearings. A fork will not work unless it's bigger than the stub end of the ball joint that slips into knuckle. You can also spread the area by driving a old screwdriver into the slot.
  2. I think you will do more damage than the money you'd save on the truck. If its an auto, I don't think it will move at all unless you lock up the broken axle somehow. If its an manual, it may move, but you may damage the diff! If you have no other option, I'd change the axle on the side of the road!
  3. Auto or Manual Transmission? You are not getting a ground for the circuit, which is through the trans sw.
  4. The numbers on the AWD Manual Trans are: A1-TY752VX3CA 739194 Anyone know that model and year it is from? Thanks
  5. Get a motor from CCR and you problem is FIXED! A 95 2.2 will fit if you want something different.
  6. It will fit, but it won't work. The input shaft is a different length. I have a couple spare of both. $25 shipped. Larry
  7. First check the Oil and Transmission Fluid Levels. Operating the car with either low or out will cause significant damage. You should be able to tell if its oil or trany fluid, check the color. Fix the leak before you go any further. There is a plastic cover under the flex plate that cracks. Subaru has a metal replacement. That could be the source of the leak. The smoke could be from the leak or an engine problem.
  8. There is a 1/2" dia bypass hose right up by the thermostat housing. You most likely have a hole in it and when you build pressure it opens up.
  9. If its burning the oil, you should see it in the emissions. You could also run a check. If its leaking, park it over a clean sheet or cardboard and let it run for 30 minutes, check for leaks and then let it sit overnight. Any external leak should spot the sheet. If its a good shop they should stand behind their work.
  10. Its up under the drives side dash. Look for all the yellow connectors. The ECU should be the same, I'd fire it up and go.
  11. I'll check it out, go through it and get it back in shape and then sell it. It keeps me in beer money.
  12. Put 12V and a ground to the fan. If it works, its in the wires somewhere. I've had the brushes go out on the fan motor.
  13. Check for power at the interlock at the shifter. I think the system is looking for a ground. You can always remove the interlock. Pull the cover and you will see it at the forward side.
  14. Anyone up for a road trip to Colorado? I won this Subaru which is near Boston, MA. I'd cover you basic expenses. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4581920802 PM or email me. Thanks, Larry
  15. Pretty straight forward Battery O2 sensor connection Drop the y-pipe Remove the lower mount to frame bolts Drain the oil Drain the collant (pull the lower hose and t-housing) Pull the fans Pull the radiator Unbolt the PS Pump and set it aside Unbolt the AC Compressor and set it aside Fuel line and electrial (some folks like to unbolt the intake from the block and flip it back with all items connected) Starter Flex plate bolts three other mount bolts eng to trans Jack and support the eng& trans from the bottom. Slip a 2x4 between the trans and frame to keep it up Pull the engine out with a lift.
  16. Check all of the hoses coming off the Intake air ducts, you may have pulled some off. Try a different filter.
  17. Easy, just unbolt it and pull it. I think I have a motor for you, but I'm in Canada for two more weeks. If you're not in a rush, let me know if you need it. Lmdew@hotmail.com
  18. The mis fire could be caused by bad gas, poor fuel injectors, plug wires.... Since its cyclinders 2&4 I would not think it was a coil. You could try some gas treatment for water removal and injector cleaner. I would have a good Mechanic look at the plugs, time consuming on this engine. An exhaust gas test would also tell you if things were missing. You could start the car in a dark place and mist the plug wires with water spray, if you see sparks, replace the wires. Just because the CEL went out does not mean all the problems are gone. Some codes take a while to set again. Good Luck
  19. CCR is the way to go: you might want consider the 95 2.2 from them as it's a rock solid engine from Subaru and a direct bolt in.
  20. I have a shifter from a 96 Legacy, I think they are the same. Yours for the shipping.
  21. Could be flooded or you may have left the large hose off the bottom of the air intake duct. The hose is just over 1" dia and about 8" long. If all the hoses are hooked, hold the throttle all the way open and crank the engine. It will help clear the cyclinders of excess fuel.
