replacing rear tailgate to 99 legacy outback wagon


Recommended Posts

at least 2 people - 3 would be better. (at least for me it would) one person with the tools - 2 to support the tailgate (one on each side).

 

check for any/all wiring, washer hoses, etc., that may need to be disconnected - not sure how wiring was run on the later models, but on my 1990 the wiring was run up under the headliner panel - took a bit of work to get it down enough to unplug connectors. Once wiring is disconnected, unbolt the support struts (this is where your help comes in - to support the tailgate when these are disconnected) then unbolt the hinges up top.

 

Installation is the reverse. Hinges first, then support struts, then reconnecting wiring and such
