  1. You are asking a lot from a busy counter person, for a size that is not known. Since our belts are designed to go around the PS pulley, you have to measure around both pulleys with a flexible tape and get a belt a little larger so you can get it over the pulleys and still be able to tension it. Don't be surprised if your first try is not successful and they won't accept a return. Go to a Gates or other belt mfg site and try to narrow size down. O.
  2. Depends on how you look at it. The front of the switch is pushed down for down. You can either pull up on the front part or down on the rear part. This is standard. O.
  3. There is a small metal tube that goes from the BPT(back pressure transducer) that feeds the EGR. This gets blocked by carbon buildup. Clean with a stiff thin flexible wire and carb cleaner. Alternatively you can remove pipe ( use PB) and soak in gas, 12mm bolt and has a fitting similar to AC. O.
  4. Not 90 loose. But 90 tight after the poundage settings. reread the sequence in the manual. O.
  5. Supposed to be two 90 turns on each after that. ie one set of 90 (all bolts)then start the other set. O.
  6. Water pump. If close to t belt time, might as well replace all. (T belt, idlers,pump and check and reseal oil pump) O.
  7. Is the lower radiator hose hot or barely warm when the temp starts to rise? O.
  8. You don't need brackets, use the ones you have. A one man bleeder would be good.(the simple one, just a hose and valve on end) Make sure you remove the pins, clean and relube. Antiseize on the bolts. Should be good to go. O.
  9. There are plastic hinges at the bottom. The box has to be rotated to about 90 deg to clear them to lift off. O.
  10. Am in the process of replacing a heater core in a 96 OB. Once you remove the dash, there is a cross brace that stiffens the body, plus. Where it is attached to the tranny tunnel, there are 4 "reverse torx screws". They look like a regular torx, but they have a pin in the middle requiring a special torx . I have called my local dealer and they don't know the exact size of this screw. Anyone? Also, the replacement heater cores( aftermarket) do not come with the pipes that go through the firewall. Again, the parts man at the dealer doesn't know if they separate from the body, for the dealer sells it as a complete housing unit. Do the pipes separate from the core body? And, no I don't have one in hand to check. Thanks in advance. O.
  11. Do a search under any vendor site and I'm sure you'll see replacements O.
  12. access is by an oval panel behind passenger rear seat. May have to lift carpet up. Tilt seat forward, not sure if can be seen right away,but it's there O.
  13. Subarupartsforyou lists at $27. Tho no other part numbers are the same, without comparing side by side, I don't know if any other will fit. O.
  14. Look here:http://opposedforces.com/parts/impreza/ need more info, as there was more than one choice for engines, tho what you need may be the same for all. also: http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=172 O.
  15. Not necessarily. Try a thorough cleaning first. Remove from TB and separate plastic housing. The screws are soft and from an earlier post I took advice and replaced screws with cap head screws. 8mm for body and 4mm for housing. The wheel that opens and closes is magnetically driven and sticks from carbon buildup. Clean and make sure the wheel turns freely. Clear code and reinstall. Should resolve the issue. If not, junkyard, after verifying which you have. there are at least 3 types. They are not cheap otherwise. O.
  16. If it goes up or down with speed,may be just the drum rubbing on the backing plate,or a shoe doing the same thing. If a shoe, you'll have to remove drum and adjust parking pawl until it stops. ( ie, so that when the brakes are released they'll retract far enough) O.
  17. There is a drain plug in the front right of the tank. see:http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/2000+_Legacy_FSM/ O.
  18. My two cents. I can't comment on brands, for I've only used KYB's so far. I use Rockauto. A little more$ than some, 4 struts @300 including shipping. I comment only because their service has been nothing less than spectacular. In the last instance I bought 2 rear for an IOB on Wed morning. Std shipping was @$12. Thursday afternoon by 1pm the Fedex truck delivered! O.
  19. Will look like this: here the access plate is already removed To help in the future: http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=149 and :http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/ O.
