The part arrived yesterday. I installed it this morning...took me about 2 hours....works like a charm!

I've got the part....picked it up yesterday. While shopping for the part, I was a little put-off that none of the dealerships I called would give me the part number. Would anyone have a link to a parts website for future needs? The local NAPA store is lending me a steering wheel puller for free.

....after going back and forth, I decided to buy a new clock spring. I spent the better part of a day calling junk yards and searching on-line...only to find that a used part would save about $100. It should arrive this Friday...I'll install on Sunday.

I just noticed that the horn for my '98 Outback legacy does not work and the dash light for the airbag will not go out. I am a little hesitant to mess w/ the airbag circuit, so I decided to troubleshoot the horn first. Both horns worked when jumped out to the battery. The fuse is ok. There is no power at the connector to the horn when someone pushes on the steering wheel horn switch. The Chilton's manual shows a relay above the fuse box, but it is not specific as to the location. I pulled off the lower plastic dash apron, but I cannot identify it. Would anyone be able to help me identify the location of the relay?

...thanks John!

Thanks for all your advice. I had put my own marks on the sprockets to ensure they did not move. I put the mark on before I removed the old belt. After checking again, I noticed that the right side was off by 1 tooth on the belt....this must have occurred when I released the tensioner. John....I do not see the links which you are referring to.

Replaced the timing belt on '98 Subaru Outback Legacy w/ 100K. Followed a Chilton's manual. Ensured sprockets were marked. While I had the timing belt off, I replaced the water pump too. Installed new timing belt..ensuring marks were w/in a few mm of viewing slot on cover. Reinstalled everything else and now it will not start. Engine is turning over very rough while starter is engaged. Any suggestions before I bite the bullet and have it towed to the dealer?
