Check prices at some of the online Subaru parts houses, then call Jason at Mike Scarff Subaru in Auburn, WA, 866-528-5282. Nice guy, very knowledgable and always, in my experience, has the best prices you can find. Mention USMB (don't know if we get special pricing but hey, it never hurts!)

That number is now programmed into my cell, I'll give jason a ring tomorrow on lunch.

if it's a non-interference engine i'll use ebay kits or repack the bearings myself. even on the later models i'm not against adding grease to the bearings, they perform like new once you're done and i've never had a problem with the.

 

on the EJ25's i have not extended that practice yet due to the 105,000 timing belt interval, if i don't see any problems with pullies i've repacked as i start doing the 2nd and 3rd belts on them, i'll probably do it on those in the future as well.

 

bearing supply stores can get the bearings for you and you can just reinstall new bearings in all of them. if the bearing store doesn't do it, have a machine shop press them in for you.

 

here's a link on repacking the bearings:
