What is the best way to remove the passenger side fuel tank sending unit (combo unit with fuel pump) on a 1999 OBW ? I've tried once with no luck, didn't want to break/bend anything without checking with THE experts! Do you have to get the float out or tie it to the main unit? Thanks for any help! Jay

Moved the plug wires around (new OEM wires) made sure they were snug. Misfire on # 3 is gone, Misfire on cyl 4 came back, noticed wire was on top of injector wire, ssecured it away from injector wire, so far no CEL (only about 50 miles) keeping my fingers crossed! Many thanks to ALL!!

Have a 99 OBW with a overhauled (2.5l 5-spd) engine, runs great, get the check engine light (comes on sometime flashes several times and then remains steady) Engine seems to run well when light comes on, no loss of power, just runs well. Changed out the ignition module, coil and just had the injectors swapped, still get the darn light.....can't be certain, but same code might have been with old engine. Told could be valves? ECU? Has anyone had anything similar? Many thanks, Jay cajbishop@yahoo.com

May look at a 98 OBW that was originally from Canada with a KM speedo, what would I be looking at to convert it to MPH besides swaping out the speedo cluster? Many thanks, Jay

I have a power steering pump leak on my 98 OBW. Can this be repaired? Or should I look for a used pump/new pump? Appears to be leaking either on the bottom or back, need to take it off. Thanks, Jay

1998 Outback 2.5l Changing timing belt, etc. My first on a 2.5l, had the marks all lined up, took off the belt and the left side sprockets moved. Do I now line them up by hand when I put on the new belt? Or have I messed up? Thanks, Jay

Not leaking from HG as far aas I can tell , but still looking. So far it looks like a combination of the power steering pump and oil pump, but still checking. Thanks to all....Jay in Houston!

Thanks....A dealer sells an aftermarket solid metal pulley, trying to see if anyone has used it. Not to many Subarus in Houston, makes it hard to find used parts...may just have to get all new!

I got the bolt free after checking a thread and using the access hole in the bell housing, worked well. I think that the Harmonic was already bad as my Timing cover is worn out due to rubbing by the pully. Checking to see if anyone has had a simliar problem. Also, anyone used the aftermarket pully? Thanks again, Jay

Hi all, First, many thanks for all the GREAT info, has helped alot! On my second Subaru, had a 84 GL wagon years ago..great car. Finally got an Outback, so far another great car! Doing some work and replacing the timing belt and tracking down an oil leak, I think that it is the Power steering pump! On trying to remove the crank pully, bought a chain wrench as suggested, except that the outer crank pully turned and the inner did not. I assume that this is not normal and a new pully is in order. Also, the timing cover is toast, almost worn thru, by I would assume the bad and out of specs crank pully. Anyone had similar problems and can confirm! Thanks, Jay
