June 2, 200619 yr Author seriously though. changing the whole column is WAY easier than changing the bearings. i tried changing the bearings in my '86 and ended up just replacing the column. and i even have all the tools to do the bearings. its just plain easier. unbolt old one, bolt in new one. good luck anyway. yes, it is pathetic to take out the bearings... my dad accidentally hit me when he was pulling out the steering wheel, Ouch! but it was not too big. we will try take out that, learning how in the hard way, but if it does not work, we will search for another steering column as gunslinger said. also -spanish- la edad legal para manejar carro aqui es a los dieciocho años, pero yo estoy aprendiendo a menejar con mi papa, salimos los domingos por calles rurales vacias y canchas de futbol vacias para que yo aprenda mientras cumplo los dieciocho. translation: legal age to drive here is 18, but i am learning how to drive on sundays, with my dad, driving in rural roads, or empty soccer areas, to be ready to drive when i reach 18. the subaru rex is my favorite, is tiny, looks tender and sweet, if you could imagine it in pastel pink, but daddy wants to paint it in cherry metallic pink... i dont know how to post photos here, but i also dont want to post its photos here, because it is in very bad condition, imagine it abandoned since 1994 in my dad`s mechanic shop, he brought it last year from the previous owner, because i like it too much, i hope i can fix it to go with it to the university. i searched in internet for a photo of a good shape rex, and i found this photo: i hope this work, just to show which car is the subaru rex i am talkin about. i hope i can fix mine like that in the photo. i will post here the progress with the ball bearing and the ball bearing bushing as turbone said the part numbers and names (thanks), in this moment, my dad with a friend are trying to pull them out, they say that those things -just a part- seems to be welded to the column, i hope he can pull them out... today! bye.

June 3, 200619 yr Author hmm...that Rex reminds me of the Justy we have here in the US. that's very nice a real classic . sure hope you can get it fixed. have a great weekend Thanx.. Justy´s are much wider and bigger than Rex´s.... they coexisted as two different models -says daddy- i have searched on internet about it, no stores got parts for it, and it did not get in U.S.A., isn´t it? so i do not have idea how to obtain parts for it yet. the loyale steering column is complicated, yesterday night, my dad had to cut the bearing off, not all the bearing as it was already damaged, just the part in the steering bar, and now we do not know its number to search for a new one, any ideas? we will search with the bar and the rests of the bearing today at the parts shop, if we do not obtain the right one, we will start searchin in junk yards, but i dont wanna use an other used wear bearing... so wish me luck! :-p
June 3, 200619 yr Author Hey!, if you want to learn more of the rex´s (Small subarus sold in latin america) see this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Rex bye!
June 5, 200619 yr Author Update: we are tired of searching, we can not find those bearing and bushing, even nor at the dealer of our city; they said that maybe at capital`s city dealer... they got but they are not sure if those they got, fit our loyale... ...and also, the only two ones found at our local junk yards, got the same issue: loosiness... so, next week we will travel to capital city to search at the dealer / junk yards... wish me luck. any of you know where to buy that bearing / bushing on internet? if so, please send me a link here........ thanx..
June 5, 200619 yr I need to stop by the Dealership tomorrow, I can ask if they have it, or can order it.
June 6, 200619 yr Author thank you i just wanna know how much will cost those parts and if they got an internet link to buy those items directly, because i live far away from USA, and maybe i do not have enough money to buy those yet, it dependes on my father`s wallet thank you again. anybody knows a internet site to buy the bearing and the bushing for a 87 loyale steering wheel? thanks.
June 7, 200619 yr I was at the Dealer today and he can order the parts. It will cost $18.50US. And it would be no problem for me to ship it, the parts are small. Would cost less to ship than it costs for the parts.
June 7, 200619 yr Author OH, THANK YOU!!! YOU ARE SOOOO KIND!!! ........ i am so thankful, but my dad did found that parts on a junk yard yesterday afternoon, so now he is working on put them on the steering and it back to the car..................... but THANK YOU....... GOD BLESS YOU, YOU ARE SO KIND
