Yea, that sounds like Qmans "other" Brat. You need to come around more Mike

I dont think there is any difference between the EA81's and EA82's on the brakes. Theres alot of EA82 models that have drum brakes and/or disc brakes, with no change in the system as a whole. The MT's still have the HH also, but I'm not sure when the last year was. I think the ones that are having troubles or no increase in braking after the rear disc conversion should do a complete flush and bleed of their system. This should rule out any common problems with the brake setup.

Works for me

Mmmm, thats a keeper. But you know, you said the same thing about the last one :-p

Normally thats correct. But I always hear some people call the 2dr a sedan. I dont, thats why I asked and just wanted clarification :cool:

Goodie! I get to stuff the Turkey this Thanksgiving

Hey Caleb, when are you coming back up for a visit?

Its a real easy job, the hard part is finding the parts. Make sure you pull everything from a 4wd rig. Get the rotors, calipers with 2 bolts, backing plates and the 4 bolts. If you pull them it might help to label which side they came off of, it does matter. If you have ever done the front disc brakes on your Soob, its basically the same thing.

It might be pressed onto the axle stub. Not sure yet how thats held on the pinion gears yet, but I think there might be a pin. If thats the case.....then you know your in for it. Or start looking for another tranny, theres lots of them around. :-\

I have the FSM for 82 and its not real clear on wether its should be split or not. I would take the ring off, pull the seal out and see if theres a clip that holds the bearing in. If there is, it should come out without doing all that work.

Mary, we could use more people like you Now that ought get some going. I think everyone has made a post (or more) with a bad choice of words, some dont even make sense I applaud your honesty and integrity Hope to see pics of your other projects as well, keeping old stuff alive is a real job/love.

Did you pull the bearing out? There was someone back on the east coast that had OEM parts and one of them was this particular bearing. The bad thing is, its around $60. Maybe if you got it out and took it to a shop that specializes in bearings they would have one that matches.

Uh, hi Pat

Disconnect the the green plugs and remove the positive battery cable overnight. This will clear any codes that are in the ECU. If they come back, tell us what they are and we will see what can be done.

Kind of hard to see beeing all black. Where did you get it? And is the car running yet?

If you can, find a set of rear disc for it. You'll wonder why you didnt do it earlier. Extremely easy swap to do also, just make sure its from a 4wd EA82. If you cant get the adjusters backed off, you might not get the drums off either. What kind of torch were you using? A little propane one wont get it hot enough. Try tapping it (sharp hard ones) this might help loosen it up. I believe you only need to turn it 180deg to loosen them. Kind of OT, but where did you work in AK? Fishery, cannery, boat or processor? Should have lots of $ to fix up your Soob

2 door or 4 door? When people say sedan, some mean 2dr. That would be a keeper, but not to uncommon. Now the tranny, thats another story. Usually anytime after 100K you can expect it to stop shifting into 2nd and 3rd. But rest easy, its an easy fix. Its the govenor on the right side and its easy to change. But it could also mean that the front diff is eating the gear of the gov. In that case a replacement tranny will have to be installed. Then you have a choice, replace with another 3AT (NOT) or install a 5spd. Theres a write up in the USRM for the swap. If your real ambitous, you can install the rear drivetrain and have 4wd

They just rattle and make noise, but they do protect the tall grass from igniting if you park over it. Are you talking about the ones that cover the turbo? Or the ones that wrap around the cat? You might be able to use some header tape on it instead of heatshields.

Jeez, I didnt know those came with afterburners To bad you couldnt have driven the XT out with her, I could have met you over there. Sure wish you would have posted about that a little earlier :-\

I can only assume thats all you could get from the dealer. But we have seen some strange configurations out there, so its possible to think that if you special ordered it, you might have been able to get one with a 4spd D/R.

I quess I was to much a CS to step up earier, so now I'm saying that I agree with Zap and Phat. Do you guys really know what they have done to these cars mechanically? I know they look a little cheesy but they may have also spent alot of $ underneath the cars too. Everyone has different tastes and alot of times you go with what your group/area of style dictates. I say, if you got it, flaunt it!

And thankfully theres guys like me that still have parts for them Is it running now?

Well, I'm impressed. After the trouble you had trying to get it to run right, you actually went and drove it that far without any troubles You did a good job on the carb rebuild and it was your first one
