I'm not positive on the 05, but on 95-2002 I know there is a spring clip on the end of the axle. To get it to pop off, I always cut away the old rubber boot. Then place the axle on a 2x4 and step on it. Take another 2x4 or hardwood block and put it right up against the inner CV joint and hit it hard! It should pop off.

Start it up and put a $1 bill up to the exhaust pipe. If it sucks up against the outlet you most likely have a bent valve. Easy fix for a bad 96-99 DOHC engine is to swap in a good old 95 2.2 with EGR. Plug and Play for the most part. You can use other years as long as you get the single port y-pipe and or put the correct intake on it.

Yards: Is the car hit hard on the body somewhere? If so, check the condition of the car other than the accident. Is it well maintained? What the mileage? Does the engine turn over well by hand? How does the oil look? How do the plugs look? Check the overflow coolant for HG oily stuff on the DHOC 2.5 If everything checks good than it's worth pulling it. Otherwise move on. I like the 2.2 swaps, easy to do and a much better engine IMHO. Larry

I have the same thing going on. I put a 2002 engine into a 2003 Baja. I picked up the correct intake manifold from CCR in Denver (Thanks, Rick). I'm planning on drilling another hole in the air box, about the same place as the intake temp sensor but on the other side. I plan on using the same rubber grommet at the temp sensor and a plastic hose fitting from Ace Hardware to connect a hose to the EGR pipe. I'll cut the EGR pipe so I can slide a hose over it and onto the hose fitting. All I need now is the correct EGR Pipe. The threaded hole on the intake is larger than the normal EGR pipes on the 95-99 engines. Anyone have a spare?

Go good Used Subaru Parts! Much less, you get the experience of removing them from a yard car and you have good Subaru Parts. I often find nice KYB struts complete with springs and top hats for $30 each at Self Serve Yards, like You Pull and Pay. Yes you should have an alignment when you are done. You can get it pretty close by pin punching the strut alignment bolts and using a string wrapped around the outside of all 4 tires. The front tires will have about an 1/8" of clearance at the rear of the tire between the string and the tire. Larry

You can move the bumper itself. The holes in the frame could be elongated and then move the bumper back. You have big trees there, you could chain it to a tree and go right to the metal frame of the bumper and give it a good pull. The frame tube built into the body is multi layer and without a frame puller I doubt you will get much. Moving the bumper aft is most likely your best bet. I have the 02 parting out, good rear, bumper, trunk lid, lights... Larry

95 impreza

Seats Yes and easy. You may have to switch over the seatbelt latch on the seat so it will work with the seatbelt that is in the car. Fenders - Not without a lot of work Dash - Not without a lot of work The Clutch itself would work, but you may have to switch from cable to hydraulic operation. -
Headlights will have to be from an Impreza 93-99 can be interchanged if you are willing to change out the marker lights and grill. Engine: Any 2.2 will work 90-98. If you can get one with the same EGR configuration that will help Subaru's are like Legos, plug and play for the most part.

With the high mileage if you get $500 for it, take it. Think, if the person who buy is puts a 2.2 in it and takes care of everything else that it needs (Shocks, Brakes, Struts...) and then try's to sell it what would you pay for a 99 with 300K on it? If they get $2500 they would be lucky. If they put $1000 in parts into it and their time they are about breaking even. I use to pay up to $1200 for a 97-99 Outback in otherwise good condition. Now I'm not picking them up unless they are in the $500-600 range. I love working on Subaru's but have to at least break even at $20 an hour for labor.

Just go to a yard and get a complete mirror. You will have to remove the inner door panel as well to get to the connector. www.car-part.com is a good search tool for full service yards. If you have a self serve yard where you can take tools in and remove the mirror yourself that is the way to go.
