Yessir. That is actually how i learned to do it. But i figured seeing how i was there, I might as well do the steering wheel too.

Here is a video I did after I figured out how to do all of this. Enjoy! Hope it helped!

Thanks! Both are wagons, so this is good news. Hahah

I did the separator plate. That leak is gone, but now my front main seal is leaking. And my transmission went down the toilet, so now I'll be using as a semi-parts car for the 98 Outback I'll be getting soon.

I was wondering if I can swap the interior from a 1998 Legacy Brighton into a 1998 Legacy Outback? The Brighton is a parts car and I want to swap the seats and maybe other interior pieces because the interior in the Outback is 1) Leather, 2) Ripped. Either way, I cannot stand leather and want to do the swaps. Will the brackets and seats fit right in? Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone! I'll be pulling the engine and tranny soon enough, but work is already started so I won't be able to take it to a car wash... I can take care of the cleaning once it is out. I plan on doing the rear separator plate, the o ring, the timing belt cover (It already has a bad gasket, but doesn't seem to leak), and a few more seals. I have some stop leak ready for when we are finished or if we end up just pulling the transmission, then it'll work for now. I want to pull everything though... It just depends on the work time I get in. The valve covers seem to be fine, they actually have no oil one or near them. But i will check everything out if/when we pull it. Thanks again!

I bought a 1998 Subaru Legacy Brighton a few weeks ago needing "a clutch and an oil change." While it does need both, there is also an oil leak i cannot trace. My entire underside was oil on it, but the drip is dripping off of the oil pan, where most of the oil is coated on. I think it's either the plug/plug seal, the gasket, or the oil pan itself. If i replace that, i would do all of those, but i wanted to know if there are any other possibilites for issues before i invest in that. Here's the leak at the oil pan:
