Thanks Ferret...

That's pretty cool stuff. Thanks for the link.

You might want to check the Control arm bushings at the front, also the engine and the tranny mounts. Pye

Congrats! I'm glad you've got it all sorted out

That universal cam tool from Schely looks just like the one I've got from Harbor Freight. And I've used it on EJ22s and Honda F22s, it worked like a charm. But I've never tried it on an EJ25 however. Pye

Cold Air Intake? Is it one of those that has a cone filter under the hood, next to the engine? How is it cold air, when all it does is, suck that hot air inside the engine bay?

Hey, let me check their website and see if they still carry it. I bought mine about 6 years ago from them. Edit: I couldn't find the tool anymore at Harbor Freight. But I found a buch of Schely tools for holding down the cam pulleys: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_pg_2/002-6406597-0130415?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A15684181%2Cn%3A15706941%2Cn%3A15707541%2Cp%5F4%3ASchley%20Products&page=2

And no CEL all this time? Did you try erasing the ECU memory and start fresh? Fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel regulator and injectors? Also check to see if the timing belt jumped a teeth, and the hydraulic tensioner? Good luck and keep us posted. Pye

I bought a similar tool from Harborfreight. It was dirt cheap and worked on both Subies and Hondas. By the way, if you've done a couple of timing belt and fuel filter changes on Honda Accords, anything and everything on Subies would seem like a walk in the park. Pye

As long as you have a N/A Legacy, the rotor sizes are the same for up to '99. Whatever you get, do not get the drilled rotors. Pye

I haven't done this, but just by looking at the parts diagram, I think you'd have to drop the rear driveshaft. And it looks like there are only two bolts thats holding the center bearing. Pye

Hi, unfortunately the auto and manual shafts are of different lengths. But I think the sedan and wagon shafts are of same lengths though. Thanks anyways, Pye

Howdy all, don't know about the '99 Legacy, but on 90-94 Legacies, it's the same. Larry, do you have a driveshaft from a 5spd manual tranny Legacy? Also, I'd like to get one of the center bearings, if he doesn't want it that is. Thanks, Pye

I just paid some guy in Central Florida $20 for the letters in the back, and you're taking 'em off and trashed it. What's up with that???

Any mechanic that advises you to take the vehicle to the dealership to fix it deserves to be shot on the spot. There are aftermarket cats available, just stay away from anything that says, "Eastern". They have a really bad reputation. As for your second question, I do not know. There are two things I don't do myself on the car and they are exhaust and transmission. Good luck and keep us posted.
