Doubtful. Most everything on imports is 10, 12, 14, 17, 32?(can't recall exactly).

 

I guess what I meant was if anyone had put one together. We could probably get one started if anyone wants to chime in.

 

Tail light assembly 10 mm
Coil pack 10 mm
Air filter housing connection points 10 mm
Battery bracket 10 mm

 

At time I can't add any own diameters or sizes but I consider such a list as a great and very helpful idea.

Maybe the administration or moderation even can establish a special section of the forum for such a list.

 

It can/could be added to the Knowledge Base.

 

And...will it be added?

By the way, maybe a very silly question under the motto:"Who never asks, will be a fool for his whole life; who asks nonetheless, will be a fool for one moment":

Is meant by "Knowledge Base" the whole section "Technical Forums and Vehicle Assistance"?
In that case you should create a special sub-section with an appropiate name.

 

How could we go about creating such a list? Format, details, etc.. The screen shot that i posted was thrown together while i was at work real quick but gives a general idea. I guess everyone just post what they know to be accurate information and at some point a master spreadsheet can be made and updated.

 

It's possible that a bolt size for ____ on a SF might be different size for the same ____ on a SJ, etc.

 

True

 

Most bolts on the body are 10,12,14,17mm.

 

When you wrench on a Subaru as long as I have, you can just look at the bolt and immediately know whether it's an 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 18, etc.

If they're fastener bolts, 8, 10, 12, 14 are going to be your standard. When it comes to things that I change often (like oil drain plug), I write this with a paint marker under the hood of any car I change the oil on. I don't need to remember this with Subaru because I have it memorized, but it helps in case you ever forget. But as it's been mentioned, having a tool set with just 8, 10, 12, and 14 sockets, you can pretty much take the entire car apart except for some of the larger suspension components and a few other odd bolts.

 

although it would be helpful for the most part it's all metric and either 10, 12, 14 or a few other mm sizes.

 

the point would be to know what size a specific part is at a glance instead of trying to recall while under the hood or car, whether it 10, 12, 14mm. Or just to have a reference guide hanging on the garage wall.

 

@ hamsamich

complete agreement


@ pleiad7

Apparently I need new glasses, with careful reading I should have found it by myself. :icon_redface:
The motto of my question was the right one - thanks to let me be a fool only for one minute. :icon_biggrin:

 

But the Knowledge Base can't be the right place for such a list as flstffx proposes, because the Knowledge Base is a read-only section. :shake:

That contradicts the purport of such a list, nobody except of the moderators or administrators could add any diameters and sizes.

 

If you notice many of the threads in the Knowledge Base are only links to the thread that contains the desired info, so the thread can remain "living" via the general populous and is not locked down.

It's sort of a cliff notes type index if you will VS having 450 stickies at the top of one of these sub-forums. A much smaller forum to search in for your topic with an attempt to make the titles clearly stated.

 

SF:
Brake caliper slide pin bolts - 14mm
Brake caliper bracket bolts - 17mm (front), 14mm rear?
