[98 OBW water pump lifespan]

How long have your '98 OBW water pumps lasted? I am going in for the dreaded head gasket job next week and was wondering if maybe I should have the water pump replaced as well.

[Hoses from transmission to radiator]

I am going to need to change the hoses that run the tranmission fluid to my radiator real soon as they show signs of cracking. Does anyone know what type of hose I need to use for this? Is this a specific/dealer part of can I use heater hose?

[outback front brake calipers]

I had a similar problem on my 98 outback at about 125,000 miles. I used up an entire set of pads one just one side in about 20,000 miles. The previous set lasted 55,000. The other side looked as though it would have gone 50,000. I had not even used them up half way. My mechanic (a friend) checked the caliper and said it was sticking on one side. He just cleaned and lubed it up and 20,000 miles later it seems to be working well.
