Shall I attempt replacing the brake rotors (97 Legacy L AWD SW) myself or let the "pros" do it. I ordered drilled vented rotors off of ebay and new pads from...
Once the caliper is swung out of the way, you're two bolts away from removing the rotor itself. On the back side of the caliper bracket is two 14mm or 17mm...
I'm the ultimate DIY'er... so I'd say DIY! Brakes, IMO, are one of the easiest DIY repairs on your car... go for the gusto... ;-> ... From: "Richard"...

Your problem could be a lot of different things... are you sure that a timing belt didn't snap? That's one of the most common problems with EA-82's... if the...

99 OB LTD, 73k. The A/C button seems to be sticky (like spilled coffee). It was my father's car, so I can't rule it out. When I turn OFF the A/C, the button...
