  1. Actually 5/32". Best is to find a place that shaves tires. Get similar tread design if possible. O.
  2. Try to tighten it first to break the tension. By the sounds of it you are going to need quite a few new ones. They definitely sb 6 pt oem. O.
  3. The Stant Xactstat #48457 is exactly the same as Subaru's unit. O.
  4. Once raised, I've come to use two small blocks cut from a 2x4 (actually 1 1/2" on the short side) under the edges of the tranny.. It can rest on there and gives me the room for the mount studs to clear the frame, so the lower bolts can go in further. O.
  5. I'd just clean it up and fix with your choice of materials. Would then coat with some rust preventative. (the link won't come up) Had similar issue but on the canister in front from a 96 2.5. Drilled and epoxied a barb from a spare hose. O.
  6. do search for speedo fix. May be the circuit board on back of unit or loose mounting screws. O.
  7. Check your vacuum lines, especially the small one to the fuel presure regulator. If the 08 has the hose from the IAC to intake check that too. O.
  8. Field Service Manual. 2nd page of New Gen sticky above, under my name is link to fsm. O.
  9. The'02 Forester and other 2.5 SOHC have that PS plug. Don't know when they started or how much across the line it goes.. Do search for FSM. Download and go to the Electrical section and you'll find the pinouts. O.
  10. Do a search here and on legacygt.com, there is a workaround for this. The system is only looking for flow,. In effect a tee is taken from an intake line and fed to the egr solenoid.. O.
  11. Leave the block heater in. Probably oem. A hose tee in the heater line has always worked for me. Have never seen the need to remove a freeze plug just to drain the system, on any engine. O.
  12. Make sure you have not dislodged the vacuum line that goes to the pressure solenoid on the IM. The other side goes to the fuel pressure regulator. If you don't have vacuum, you won't get fuel. O.
  13. may not be the valves, but the guides/seals.. If they were tweaked a little in the original bending of valves, they won't seal. O.
  14. Exactly which codes were in a pending state? Numbers please. Pull an injector plug. You should be getting 12v on the white wire with key in the on position. Make sure your vacuum hoses are on and whole, especially the small hose from the intake manifold to the pressure solenoid on the IM. O.
  15. Relays seldom go bad. I'd make sure the ignition fuse is good. Pull the outlet line from the fuel filter. Turn the key to on, that will short cycle the pump. If you get fuel, that's not your problem. If you don't I'd check the fuel pump, Just remove the cover and the connector. You should get 12v when the key is turned on. If you do, and the pump is not sending fuel. You have your issue. Download the fsm and go down the list. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/ O.
  16. I saw that ad, but my daughter wants all seasons. Good find tho. 2 years ago I bought 4 Continental Contacts in 17" with 7/8 tread for $175, but had to drive 2 1/2 hours each way (to Syracuse) to pick them. Totally worth it. Am just about to take them off now. (17" tires are not my ideal snow wear) O.
  17. Look under the panel near the driver's knee. There should be a black push button/switch on wires. When the system loses power via a removed battery, once installed the security system will act up. If she has a remote, that should fix it. Go to cars101.com and look under programming remotes. Otherwise just push the button and hold it while cranking. The system will randomly flash and or lock and unlock the doors until the button is pushed. Without the remote it will act up again, unless you disable the security system. O.
  18. The spring portion of the T stat goes into the block side. Should only fit one way(as the oem/stant 48457 will be too long to go in incorrectly). Would only use either of the aforementioned T stats. O.
  19. It's in the Engine Mechanical section: Valve Clearance Valve clearance Intake: 0.20+0.04 0.06 mm (0.0079+0.0016 0.0024 in) Exhaust: 0.35 +/- 0.05 mm (0.0138 +/- 0.0020 in) • O.
  20. Get a Gates belt. The difference in cost is worth it in piece of mind. O.
