I sprayed ours with PB blaster after removing the wheels, worked on the calipers while letting it soak. I then used an impact driver ($20 from Home Depot) and a few hits with a hammer, the screw budged. It was effortless after that. I re-used the screws but put anti-seize on it. BTW, I used...

I just experienced this exact same issue today. Bump for updates on a fix.

I'll probably just top off the tranny fluid. Does the manual say replace fluid every x miles?

Not really looking for a "how to" but for pics of drain plugs and fill holes (I assume the dipstick hole). Is the transfer case oil not shared with the tranny meaning I have to drain and fill separately? What about the diff? Also, are there any special tools needed? My Subie needed a Torx...

Availablility is 11/13/09. That is next week! Yay!

^ I agree. Most people say it is idotic to compare UTQG between manufacturers, but I think that it is a no brainer that the 400 Parada Spec X would outlast a 260 Dueler H/L. Btw, I will be going for the Parada Spec X in OEM 245/50/20 size instead of the 255/50/20. There's a 3lbs weight...

This is what I did to our cars this year: 1. Wash & dry (Meguire's Gold) 2. Wipe kerosene all over painted surfaces. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. 3. Wash & dry (Ajax dishwashing liquid) 4. Clay bar(Meguire's) 5. Cleaner Wax (Meguire's) 6. Wash & dry (Meguire's Gold) 7. Carnauba wax (Meguire's)...

Thanks for the pic danz75. Looks like the sidewalls do not bulge out too much from the fatter tire.

^ I am aware of that. I just want to see how they look on the OEM rims.

Anyone rolling on this tire size? Can you please post a pic as I am trying to see if I can size up in a few months. Thanks.

Do you drive in R all the way through? You back up maybe 10-20 feet in about what, 5-10 seconds? You might have dirty pads, try cleaning them, then re-bed. You are maybe one of those who park with wheels turned all the way L or R. Try parking with your front wheels straight and give a bit...

Sorry to kill your hopes but the flashing a NA engine like the our CX9's will not yield gains similar to a turbochanged engine. Forced induction engines just responds better to tuning. My Subaru gained a dyno proven +50 HP and +90 lb/ft torque to the wheels with a pro-tune and of course some...

Yes, the original filter was a biatch to remove. I bought mine from Advance Auto Parts. Maybe Motorcraft did a revision that consumers do not know of.

I changed mine at 1,500mi and at 5,000mi using Castrol Semi Synthetic. Will probably go full synthetic at 10,000mi

I have been using the Motorcraft FL400S (Ford) with Castrol Semi Synthetic 5W-20. Below are comparative pics of the stock filter and the FL400S
