  1. The roll pin should go in from the beveled side. If the pin doesn't go all the way in, the splines are 180 out. Watch the orientation when you do the rear. Install in the same way it came out. O.
  2. The only problem is eventually you'll forget to take it out of gear, reach in and whoa! O.
  3. Large screwdriver from behind. Can even tap with a piece of wood against the sprocket, rotating to even the movement. O.
  4. The chips on the pulleys are benign, If they are not cracked I wouldn't replace. If you want to, a junk yard would be your best option. I've never had to use a puller to get them off. You are replacing the idlers, right? Remove oil pump and tighten screws on back if loose. Don't tighten the valve covers until after you have tightened your sprockets. A 1" open end will fit the flats on the cams to hold them. Careful of torque on cam bolts, the specs are very light. I know where the plug goes, but not enough knowledge to tell you where it goes w/o looking at an engine. Am sure someone will chime in here. Continue to take your time and all will be well. O.
  5. The button may be pushed up some. It is by your left knee area. Get a flashlight and look. Once found, push in while cranking. This will hold until the next time the battery loses power.. Replace the battery in the key fob and go to cars101.com and look under programming remotes. O.
  6. You need HG. All depends on what you can do mechanically and your budget. If a 2.2 swap is reasonable then that would be a great option. or fix the HG with Subaru turbo gaskets, Six Star, Cometic and lastly Fel-Pro. The heads must be resurfaced, which you can do yourself. O.
  7. Classic HG issues, Engine? Mileage. When full do you get heat? How long does it take to oveheat? Doesn't o/h at idle, but after driving a bit, the gauge goes to hot? O.
  8. Nothing. Unless you want more/less camber than the stock units provide. Going that low you need at some point to replace the bump steer bushings. O.
  9. Injectors are easy to replace in car. The large fat ones that go into the manifold would be hard to get from anyone but an online store or dealer. I'd reinstall the originals,then get what you need, unless you can deal with the down time. O.
  10. check opposed forces. find part, click on usage and see if the other year is listed. Wheels make no difference. O.
  11. ^++++ Agree with all said. Is it a P0420 code? If so, it's generally the rear O2 sensor. Do search under the code and you'll see available options. O.
  12. on top of the fuel tank in between the access plates. The tank has to be dropped to access. three wires Red, Yellow and Red/Blue stipe. Are you getting a code? Download FSM. O.
  13. There is a grease made for disc brakes. Comes in a jar with a brush, Permatex IIRC. O.
  14. Make sure it's not your ball joints, both upper and lower. If wasted you will get all sorts of slop. O.
  15. Head bolts!!!!! Good thing you weren't able to loosen them or you'd be doing HG's. O.
  16. Actually 5/32". Best is to find a place that shaves tires. Get similar tread design if possible. O.
  17. Try to tighten it first to break the tension. By the sounds of it you are going to need quite a few new ones. They definitely sb 6 pt oem. O.
  18. The Stant Xactstat #48457 is exactly the same as Subaru's unit. O.
  19. Once raised, I've come to use two small blocks cut from a 2x4 (actually 1 1/2" on the short side) under the edges of the tranny.. It can rest on there and gives me the room for the mount studs to clear the frame, so the lower bolts can go in further. O.
  20. I'd just clean it up and fix with your choice of materials. Would then coat with some rust preventative. (the link won't come up) Had similar issue but on the canister in front from a 96 2.5. Drilled and epoxied a barb from a spare hose. O.
  21. do search for speedo fix. May be the circuit board on back of unit or loose mounting screws. O.
  22. Check your vacuum lines, especially the small one to the fuel presure regulator. If the 08 has the hose from the IAC to intake check that too. O.
