1991 Subaru Legacy - Page 2 Questions & Answers
How do you replace front the
wheel bearing?
Remove the caliper and rotor, undo the axle, ball joint and the two strut bolts, and take the entire knuckle off. The hub is pressed off, then a circlip removed to press the bearing out. You need a hydraulic press to do this job.
Dropping water
Are you loosing water from the inside of the radiator?...then it is a blown head gasket, or a cracked head/block. Is there steam coming out of the exhaust? Is the water dripping from the exhaust pipe and from the small factory hole in the muffler....then it is normal. Most likely, as every car with air conditioning, the evaporator core collects frost even in the summer and the A/C cycles to heat it, and melt it off. It is meant to drip through a small pipe, under the car, onto the ground. It is perfectly clear and clean water. It is normal functioning of the air conditioning. In the winter when the defrost is selected to clear the windshield, the automatic air conditioning produces cold dry air, which is then heated to clear the moisture. Frost collects on the evaporator core. The system cycles to heat it off from time to time and it will drip clear water in the winter when you didn't even know that the air conditioning was on. After all who needs air conditioning in the winter when you did not select it. The automatic system turned it on to dry the re-heated air to clear the moisture from inside the car.
How do I change the heater resistor?
Remove the glove box, you will see two connectors held in with screws with wires going to them. The lower connector is the resistor pack. Disconnect the connector, remove the screws and the resistor pack will slide out when pulled on. Then put the new resistor pack in making sure the orientation is correct, install the screws, reconnect the connector and install the glove box. Then you should be all set to go. I hope this info helps!
Where is the heater resistor located on a 1991 subaru legacy?
Its in the under dash (right side) evaporator housing for the A/C system. It mounted on the outside case so access is fairly simple. Removal of two screws and an electrical connector is all it takes. You may have to remove glove box to see it for the first time. Air movement in that housing helps keep that resistor pack cooled down...They can get fairly hot so be careful.
Why does my 1991 subaru squeaks then cuts out for a sec.
If it's happening while driving and no brakes applied it's probably a belt causing the noise. There's a product available in most local auto shops that you can use to lubricate the belt. I think the actual name is "stop squeak" but I'm not positive.
If it's squeaking while breaking you may need new breaks or your breaks may be too tight. Another product exists for breaking squeals available in your local auto shop
My check engine light does not illuminate during a misfire why?
If the car was newer with an OBDII emission system it would trigger the MIL or malfunction indicator light. Being an older computer control system the check engine may not light unless the PCM (powertrain control module) sensed a rich or lean mixture via the oxygen sensor. Does the check engine light turn on with the ignition key on before you actually start the engine?
68 318 from a motor home with points,
Possibly bad earth connection, on base plate of distributor or a broken feed wire to points, when the ignition advance works and moves the baseplate, causes intermittent bad running. Good Luck
Fusible link required amperage
depends on the link that is blown . Can be 15,20,30,50 amps depending on what it is running. The amp should be on the ceramic part of the fuse holder.
