Chad helped me drop the transmission on Saturday since my plan was to do the left rear wheel bearing and had to disconnect the CVs anyway. Replaced the throwout bearing along with the wheel bearing and got it all back together today. Next few days I'll be pulling out the roll cage to paint it and begin finishing all of the other safety stuff (window net, windshield retainers, polycarbonate rear glass, etc). Thanks Chad, for the help buddy!

What was that we had 3 drops in Dec. 2011. See what you did. It may never rain again. I even heard Jerry Brown say " If it ever rains Again". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

After missing the Hollywood cars and coffee took a drive to the beach.

I had a blast, and today I made the fresh air block off with the material you have me. Which I think turned out pretty nice.

Discovered that I have one old style and one new style Subaru CV-1/2 shaft. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Read a great article on measuring 1/2 shafts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

How well did this work?

I've only pulled one pair of hubs and it was a huge PITA, involving a massive amount of MAP gas, a BFH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) and a very large socket. After all I had to go through, I'm afraid I would have pulled the car right off the stands using that method (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Actually quite well Mark. Took me less than three minutes to remove the hub. It could have been the cold weather, or the difference in machining between hubs - sometimes they're easy, sometimes a real beehotch. A slide hammer provides a great deal of precise force so very little is actually transferred to the trailing arm or car. I'd recommend that over trying to punch the hub out from the backside. Again, ideally one would take the damn thing off and use a press like Eric showed us. But this works for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Finally got my window net in. Doing the top was a piece of cake. Finding a way to attach the bottom so it was flexible enough to fully drop out of the way was a whole other story. Multiple trips to the hardware store and I finally came up with a solution that works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
