The passenger side has the pump and sending unit. The drivers side has a sending unit and a fuel pickup to transfer the fuel over the hump in the tank. Both sides are used for proper fuel gauge readings. If you need the units, I have both from a spare car we parted for my son's auto to manual trans swap. Lmdew@hotmail.com

This is common, first lube it with liquid wrench. After it sets for awhile, try using a pliers to put pressure on the sides of the insert. This might work, but if they are corroded, you will most likely end up pulling the insert out. You can try driving it out from the back if you have access, otherwise just pry on both sides of the bolt. You may be able to glue them back in, otherwise its the dealer or junk yard for a replacement. Good Luck

This happened to my son's 93 Legacy, 2.2. It was a combination of the cooling fans going out and a HG leak. Being a new driver, he didn't notice the fans were not working properly. This caused a minor overheat, resulting in a head gasket leak. It was minnor and did not cause problems all of the time and the overflow bottle was never low as the coolant was not being pulled back in to the engine as it cooled. Have a shop check the coolant for exhaust gases. That will confirm the HG leak. Good Luck. COS

I got the plugs changed but what a pain. There is only about 1.5" between the engine and the frame, so little you have to put the tools in one at a time (socket, extension, ratchet). The only way to make this job less of a pain would be to raise the engine. Anyone have a solution? I know you only have to do it every 60K or so, but the designers weren't thinking of the Mechanic.

cracked radiator

There's a 96 Legacy Wagon, I don't know if it has the same radiator, but if it does, its in good shape and the yard gets $40 for them. Plus shipping, its a deal. Lmdew@hotmail.com -
I've got a 98 2.5 with 12K I purchased for a 97 I thought was making metal. After some assistance from CCR, it was determined the engine was OK. By that time I had the 98 on the way. I verified the mileage with carfax, but I don't have the vin any more. I bought it for $2500, but will let it go for $2100 plus shipping. Email me if you want it. Lmdew@hotmail.com
