Rim Conversion

Hi,

I own a 92 Leone it’s got 15” rims on, I would like to put the 17” rims. The problem is the 15” rims are 4 stud and the 17” 5 stud, can any modification be done without changing the hub and the rear drums?

Thanks,

Regards,

Amk.

I was wondering that the previous gearbox for the EA had the 4wd selection, but since my front shafts broke I was using the rear diff but selected on 4wd, now since this new gearbox EJ, its AWD so I need to connect my front shafts for the car to move right? The rear diff won’t work solo unless I con...

Not sure how the free-revving characteristics of the engine really relates to the condition of the clutch....I'd say that's an unrelated problem. Here are two more possibilities. 1 - Slave cylinder seized. Did you try taking the slave cylinder off the gearbox, operating the clutch pedal, and seeing...

This is *roughly* correct. The pipe from the master cylinder should be connected to the slave cylinder (which is bolted to the gearbox). Did you get fluid flowing through to the slave cylinder while bleeding the hydraulics? Are you able to post any photos of your completed setup? Yes i did the blee...

Thanks,
