Re: Pressing front wheel bearings

Hi, they look very much the same as my old ladys impreza, 1st time i did one it was a pig of a job. I made some packers and pressed it out in a vice, while heating the hub up. Refitting left the new bearing in the freezer for a few hours, warmed the hub up, it then slid in with a light tap to seat ...

Re: engine dies/problems

Have you removed the fuel pump out of the tank and checked the strainer, i had a similar problem last year, cleaned the tank, blew the fuel lines out, changed fuel filter. It now rev's it's "nuts" off, i was surprised how much crap was in the tank. When it's run then stopped can you smell unburnt ...

Had a play today, fault somewhere in the dash, rear loom ok. If i take one off the connector blocks off just above the fuses on the main fuse board in the footwell, fuse dose't blow, got to check back to see what this is to. Gone cold now try again Friday.

Checked back from tail lights, rearlight down to earth. Split main loom on connector above rear wheel arch, this part clear, tested back to fuse box, down to earth. Try again Friday weather permitting, i reckon it's got to be rubbing on the chassis somewhere? Slow going i'm colour blind, 12yr old ...

Cheers for that bit of info, how do you remove the rear lights, i can see one screw that retains the unit, but it seems reluctant to move. I don't want to force it to much in case i've missed something.
P.s i should have mentioned when i put the fuse in then turn the lights on, the fuse blows ...
