Here is a link to photos of a Koni install http://www.submariner.org/thepno95/Pictures/Subaru/Koni%20GC%20install/
There isn't a description of the process but I know I have seen a step by step process with photos on a webpage. If I can find it I will post it later. As I remember the process, you need a drill, grinder and/or good quality hacksaw. You will also need a spring compressor to remove the spring. If you are comfortable in removing/installing struts you should be able to handle the Koni install.

I will double check with the dealer about the recall but I remember when the recall came through it was for 1996 and did not include the 1995. But it never hurts to ask in situatiions like this, I found that if I asked alot of times the local dealer or SOA try to accomodate.

Thanks for the good info. I have replaced brushes and voltage regulators in alternators in the past. I just have a gut feeling that this alternator may have more problems than just a regulator and worn brushes. This alternator is giving off alot of heat and it smells like the wires are cooking inside. I think I am better off just replacing it with a quality rebuild.
I checked with my local dealer and they wanted $450 for a new one and the local parts stores wanted from $200 to $350 for a rebuild. Thepartsbin.com wanted $154. So $96 for a Subaru approved rebuild sounds pretty darn good

My 95 Legacy wagon's alternator is cooked, it makes a whining sound and is hot when I touch the casing and doesn't appear to be charging the battery. Anybody know a good source for a rebuilt alternator? Any brand to avoid?

The 10th is better for me but I want to come regardless of date. One car, 95 Legacy wagon if I get all my repairs done for a road trip. New brakes, struts, springs, and alternator. Too cold to do right now. Bringing just myself and maybe a fishing pole if it is in season in Iowa.
