Another tool I made. The link http://jon.belandtechnology.com/subaru/bearing%20tool/ has more pics, shows it in use.

nice work dude. I love that tool. Gonna have to get you to make me one up and I'll pay for it

Cost more in shipping than the tool itself!

 

It does fit the bearing openings great. I thinkI will refine it with some stickers and such.

Hah will the stickers add more HP!?. That's awesome. Most people would say "that's ghetto" or "how backyard mechanic-ish". I say screw those people, they happen to have money coming out of their a$$ and would pay someone to do the work in the first place.

 

That's why I like Subarus and this board. I like doing stuff myself, even if that means it'll take longer than paying someone. Adapt, overcome, and improvise.

 

End Rant.

soo.. all you do to get them in is tighten the nut down?

what is the size of the pvc?

Make sure the bearings are started square. I just tapped them in a little so they were started, and then tightned the nut. I did one side at a time, that way I could ckeck that they were going in square. The PVC is a 2" coupler, threaded on one end and slip for the plug on the other.

The O.D. is actually 2 13/16 at the ribs.

If the stickers work, I will look into a wing, and ground effects. (and some "dubs")
