No, this would be ghetto fab. I`m going to do this right. I already got an idea, let`s see if it works out...

You could cut the tire guides so they just come up to the wheel. I know that is a lot of work, but seems the simplest option... Kind of what was said by Chilli in non-tracked vehicle speak

You beat me to the post reply key... Why "ghetto fab" to make the tire guides the correct height?

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Because the tire guides are the correct length. It`s the track assembly that`s wrong because it was designed for another track system. So i`m going to redo both track assemblies, just not yet, because i`m sure i`ll find something else to change later on and don`t want to build them three times...

... your `flex´...

I just noticed that. Are you guys calling it "Flex" too? Thats awesome...

[chilliwak]

Well Steinez, you certainly told me enough about `Flex´, so no problems there..... Just glad we can communicate. Remember, use your flex.

Started working on the track assemblies today. First i took the left one off:





I just lowered the wheels. Now the track assemblies aren`t level, but i don`t care for now:



Then i ran out of shielding gas and can`t get it refilled before monday. So i finished it off with my stick welder:



Then i looked for some work where i wouldn`t need the welder. So i started looking for the oil leak. I think it`s leaking between the block and the front cover plate where the oil pump is:



Doesn`t look better under the cover:



When i called it a day. I just couldn`t get that oil pump out and because of that i couldn`t remove the cover plate. Anyone has an idea how to get that oil pump out?

Sorry to hear about your oil pump problems Steinez! I wish I knew more about Subaru technologies, otherwise I would help.

You may have to remove the oil pan to get the pump out.
