The airbag unit is held with two T30 screws, visible through the openings in the steering wheel trim. Remove the screws and pull straight out, parallel to the steering column. An instruction sheet for installing a cruise control has been posted just recently. It contains directions on how to remove the airbag.

I know the box itself changed in '97 but the shape of the console and bezel was same as before. Then for '98 the box remained but the interior changed. The bezel probably just pries out, starting from the top. But it's better to look in a manual. FWIW, the bulb type for old style Impreza climate control is 74.

Thanks for the update. On the photos, the two flattened ends with a hole for the socket look very much the same, but who knows. Maybe the original author met with the same problem and put on a tie wrap because of it. I used to think it was there to squeeze the tabs when installing the socket into the hole. Hope you'll fix it for good, one way or another.

Timing Belt HELP!
avk replied to Olnick's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
The belt marks obviously do not line up every other revolutiuon, but sprocket marks do. Suppose the belt isn't marked and timing is done by tooth count. What matters is that the three sprockets come back to the same relative position. -

In those terms, the marks are at the right place every other revolution of the crankshaft, anyhow, but not every single revolution. -

The camshaft makes one full revolution for two revolutions of the crank, so when the crank mark is up and the cam mark is down you're simply using the exhaust stroke instead of compression stroke to set timing, or maybe power stroke instead of intake stroke. -

Maybe the idea was that you can turn the camshafts 180 deg., which corresponds to a full revolution of the crank. That'll work, except that there's only one timing mark on each sprocket. But one can make a new one, making sure it's different from the original. Can be just a punch mark. -

It does seem odd that the mark on the left sprocket is not in the valley. The actual mark is just a short stamped line. Could it be that it's hidden by that yellow paint? Either way, it seems to be aligned correctly. -

Use the marks on the sprockets as others have said. On the belt, one of the lines is also halfway between two teeth, so it will line up exactly. -
What worked for me was twisting the cam support while pulling. It has a machined "skirt" that fits into the bore in the head, while the inside surface works as a camshaft journal. Both of those clearances are very small and it just binds as you pull. Try to rotate it and pull squarely, it will come out. You can do it with the cam seal in place, like I did, but I believe it would be easier if you pull the seal before. Might want to keep that part in a plastic bag to keep the journal clean. Oil it generously when re-installing.
