Do I need to pull the front axles all the way out to change the cluch in an '86 4WD wagon, or can I just pull the roll pins @ the trans side and pull the trany back? I'm lazy, can U tell? :eh::-p

Not lazy thats smart and yes you can do it that way.

Yep - it's easier to pull the engine to do the clutch tho - less lying on the ground!

COOL! That's what I wanted to hear! I would just pull the engine, but I have no cherry picker

you dont need no stinkin picker, this is a subaru, take off the fans and the radiator, and you can just slide the motor forward, all you reely need is a floor jack and a stand, and a buddy

 

my cousin did the brat without taking tranny out all the way, and left the axles in. just slid the tranny back half a foot, and left it hangin on the cross member. worked pretty good.

Would this method of slideing the motor forward work for my car as well? 1600 non d/ range?
