gearbox and clutch swop on a impreza
ok this is gonna have to be in stages,,,,,, mainly cause i aint finished it yet
pictures also might not mean anything but ill try to get better ones
first get some old ropey shed of a car ,,,,, heres one i found
i really hate them "temp" pins that have been on there over a year now
time to take em off
bit more like it
now open bonnet,,,,, and make a nice brew,,, look at the car and think " should i really bother with this "
now i need a gearbox and,,, well diff due to the ratios i wanna change to !!!
oh look there one is
lets take a look at see how bad the rust is on this old shed
well a car cant rust when its loosing THIS MUCH gearbox oil,,,,, guess the cat never pissed in my car after all pmsl
now is there enough room,,, in my "slightly smaller than a double garage"
now, how to i take out the driveshafts,,,, always a pissy hate of mine,,,, oh look
what a cool idea ( take note ford) roll pins holding in the shafts,,, they will be PISS to remove
right,,,,, lets get started
ok ill add more pics,,, as i got carried away and just started unbolting stuff when i was under the car,, doh !!!!

the reason why you are breaking the balljoint covers is because you are using the wrong tool the one you are using is ment to be used when it dosent matter if they get damaged.
