I just bought 4 Subaru Brat Gearbox mounts in the USA online for $15.00 ea with postage $72 but exchange dollar will push it up a bit I guess. In Aus they ask $145 ea thats BULLSHIT - robbers. Try Subaru Brat for parts in USA or go Subaru Brat 1987 Rockauto and search. Postage and exchange dollars p...

Thanks Toonga I have everything else but suddenly started looking for the rear disc's and realised I didn't have then. I been on ebay and see I can get RDA7554 Vortex Discs. Just got make sure they are right ones. Thanks lot anyway.

I have everything to set up my brumby with rear Disc's except rear Rotors . My question is Do I use Vortex rear Rotors RDA7554 or the front Vortex/Brumby Rotors RDA640.

Thanks Guys.

Removing gear box having difficulty removing speedo cable from side gearbox. Is it screwed in or is it push in. I dont want damage it .

Yes looks more like what I'll have to do.

Yes its the left diff bearing thats really loose its a bit hard getting anything behind it. I have Jimy Slim bearing extractor it would fit behind the inner bearing race that fits onto pinion shaft if I could break/remove up the outer race and bearings. Got work out way without doing damage. Might h...

I have rattling pinion bearing on one of my front Brumby pinion shafts. I need a way to remove the bad bearing without pulling down the gearbox if possible. Any ideas out there. Nothing on YOUTUBE on this one

Yes Toonga got that Thanks. I bought a Jimy Slim bearing extractor I toying with idea of removing the out race of that front pinion bearing and pulling the rest out with the narrow extractor. I can only see one pinion bearing each side then heating new bearing up to 200 degrees and dropping in. Coul...

Thanks a lot for that Toonga.

Got replace my gearbox old one is all rattly front, pinion shaft bearings and they bloody rattle. Thought was the CV shafts first but they OK the pinion shafts are just so loose bearing s are all loose. Got outer bearins but got get inner but in meantime have a gearbox in damaged Brumby thats OK so ...

Yes got take that Circular diff ajustment plate off and see what Im up against. I can see that the outer seal is gone guess if outer bearing is gone so will the inner diff bearing. Not going waste time pulling it down have 3 spare boxes 2 are nice and tight. Just have a bit of an experiment might do...

There is a circular retainer plate round the Stub on the Brumby gearbox with a small holder plate with a bolt to prevent the circular retainer plater from screwing out. Searched Youtube but found virtually nothing on this subject except that the circular retainer plate will screw out however u must ...

The short drive shaft stub that comes out of the side of the gearbox to connect with the CV Drive shaft is very loose and I get a awful rattle/vibration sound under acceleration when not under aceleration all is ok. I have just replaced driveshaft and all wheel bearings but it is still there and the...

Im over these CV Shafts that don't fit easy and stuff up - Shonky Chow shafts. Im getting my CV Shafts from Suzukisuper now they slide through the Hud/Bearing fine none of this heating bearings bullshit. The Code I use when ordering is SB-8-901 they are chow but are manufactured by big Chow company....

Been looking at the prices of those CV Boot Clamps/Bands or whatever they call them On Ebay and they arn't very cheap, however I have access to plenty of rubber engine hose Band clips thats screw up. Wonder if I could use them.

Bought a couple of new Chow CV Shafts.When I tried to move the joints I could see how stiff there were and were rough to move so I decided to investigate. I released the boot clips and moved the boots back and was surprised to see that all that there was a small amount of black grease up against the...

That bit u mention about the heat from the exhaust playing part in CV life plays on my mind. On the drivers side u have the catalytic converter just below the inner CV boot.An old Subaru mechanic told me sometime ago that the heat from catalytic converter helps break down the rubber boot resulting i...

I came across a pair of new CV shafts in my workshop made by Wanxiang Group China. Bought them through Suzukisuper they had a code of SB-8-901 and the slide perfectly through both hub bearings no forcing . Also I released both inner and outer boots by sliding back and added more of that Red CV beari...

Cant for life of me understand how new cv shafts can *** up so quickly. Wot less that 100ks and clicking. This is Bull Sht Robbery Extortion.
