ideate Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Any special instructions for this? It's on the to-do list for this winter if I can source the brakes/wheels cheap and soon enough for ice trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Anyone that does real work on a car needs a breaker bar A friggin' long one for some of the bolts Subaru puts on at the factory. I swear that if I put bolts on that tight, they'd snap-I've overtorqued a few bolts in my time and I don't know how Subaru gets things on there so damn tight without breaking anything.
