I hit the yard and pull the newer plastic style of boot. It works great. Jack the car Center punch the outter Tie rod nut and tie rod for alignment. Unscrew the outter tie rod - you don't have to take it off just sping the shaft. Take a coat hanger or welding rod and put it up against the nut, which you just backed off a 1/4 turn and then bend the other end over the shaft. Now you know were to put the nut after the boot replacement. Pull the boot clamps, remove the old boot and clean things up as good as you can. Put new grease in the inner tie rod pivot Install the new boot Put the nut back on in the same position Screw the outter tie rod back on and then tighten the nut so the punch marks line back up. Install the outter boot clamp. That's it. Sometimes I drop the exhaust for better access to the inner boot area.

I thought the same thing when I got mine, but they have been great. -
The engine came from a 2003 Forester and I dropped it into a 2002 Impreza TS. I switched the cams when I did the timing belt. It runs great but seems to be very rich. The O2 Sensor was changed but the voltage is still what I'd consider high at 1.6 volts. It will drop and do the normal up down when I let off the gas. When it's steady throttle it almost flat lines at 1.6 volts. Short Term Trim: -8.6 Long Term Trim: -25.0 Coolant Temp 189. I did have a PO172 Rich Bank one 2 times but it has cleared and has not come back. I ran some injector cleaner, thinking an injector might be leaking. I have not checked the mileage yet, but it seems to be going through gas pretty fast.

Clock issues?

Fixed an O2 Impreza TS Clock today. Thanks for the great info and pictures. -
I always put it to the front and have never had a problem. Make sure you jack the car as high as possible in the front and fill slowly into the top radiator hose back into the block. Then finish filling the radiator and start the engine. As it warms up, keep on squeezing the top hose to burp the air out of the radiator filler neck. When air stops coming out, you are good. PS Heater on full hot.
