If your horn doesn't work it's the clockspring. Not hard to replace but must be done carefully. You have to get one from compatible units from junkyard, unless you don't mind high oem prices. check :http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/ and http://subarupartsforyou.com/ O.

Struts are different for sure. Search is your friend. O.

Don't have hands on knowledge, but Subaru lists the same intake manifold gasket for 00-09, but different HG for these series. O.

Choose from here: http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/ O.

I believe 97 and 98 electrical are the same. Download the fsm and check the schematics. For whatever reason, the fuel pump relay is also tied into the rear defogger fuse (#16). Check that also. O.

Can't state whether it is too long or not, but if it is you can buy a spark plug nonfouler (@$3), enlarge the opening and screw the sensor into it. O.

When you cleaned it, did you remove the plastic electrical housing? If not, that is where the magnetic portion of the wheel is hidden that controls the air. It has to rotate freely. O.

1507 is your idle air control valve. Needs a thorough cleaning. Do search here and you will find things to look for, how to clean and how to deal with the brass screws that hold it on Generally you will have a wavering idle, up and down after a few minutes of running. O.

It is a by feel only job. And yes a real PITA. All the air stuff has to be off to allow you to lean in and use a 14mm ratcheting wrench to loosen /tighten. I used a thin piece of wood as a better peace of mind thing while working. Starting the threads was always the worst for me. O.

The rear main goes in just a tad below flush. Do not seat it as far as it will go. O.

Disagree. I have replaced three O2 sensors on different cars and I used Bosch (the originators of oxygen sensors btw) and have never had a problem. Unfortunately I can't help the op with his issue, but the Bosch sensor is not the problem. O.

Here.Title says 05 but is the same. http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=210 Inside it says 04 but that is Euro date. O.

Here is link to fsm http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=173#p478 Have fun. O.

yes, access to the piston clips for #3 and 4 pistons. O.

Using the spacer will require you to make some rigging of the EGR tube. Be prepared. O.

I've personally owned 3 Legacys, 97,04 and 07. None of them gave me any more trouble than the usual maintenance issues. I also have a 98 and 99 Impreza Outback and still no real issues. I just think you have a neglected 16 year old car that is showing its lack of care. O.

Have only had to replace about three coils on BE/BL. Used NGK for one, oem for the others. No problems with either. O.

The 98 IOB has drums. O.

I would look hard at your water bypass pipe. It is a thin tube that goes from the water pump to a heater hose with a t that goes to the throttle body. You can get a pinhole especially at the t junction and if small will only leak under pressure. http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_14/cooling_system/ O.

If you have enough of a stud for the ez out to grab, do it. You'll be able to apply more pressure than with a broken stud extractor. PB and heat surrounding area. O.

once all the bolts are out and the engine mounts either unbolted or free of frame, I've always used a bottle jack against a 2x4 on the firewall and the lifting hook to separate a stuck engine. Has worked whenever I had to resort to it with no problems. O.

It just may be trying to adjust to the denser WI air. Still running as if it's in CO. I'd try a reset and then test again. O.

x acto knife or similar to cut rubber. Or even a hack saw blade. O.

Yes to an anticorrosove here. The solution I've found with this and similar is to use a bottle jack against wood on the firewall and some strong point on the engine. Has never failed me yet. O.
