Hi,
I need to replace head gaskets for 2006 Outback 2.5i. While my daughter is using this car, radiator got blown. This has EJ253 with active valve system. I got these cylinder head off now. Subaru manual says I need special tools to remove valve rocker assembly, 18258AA000 and 18354AA000. Does anyone know this can be done without these tools or not? Just undo fastners for the assembly and cam bearing doesn't work? If I can, I will remove valves and replace seals. If not I wll replace head gaskets and valve cover gaskets only. Any imput, idea? Thanks.
