*added intermittent wiper switch to list of things to do to brumby*

Have also looked into a longer breaker bar to get the front hub off so I can do the disk replacement then look at getting the strut tops out this weekend :)

Sold my Impreza to somebody else- don't know if that's classed as an improvement or not?

I have already purchased the replacement vehicle, another late model Subaru wagon that will get the full offroad treatment. Full details to come in due time...

Well pulled both hubs off and got the disks off (and pads)

now ready to buy new ones, need a spring compressor thought to get the struts out to then replace the strut tops and put the wheels back on.
