johnnyispy Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hey all! I have my eye on a taillight at a local Pick N Pull. My current passenger side cover got smashed when a transport truck backed into my Subaru a year ago. I can grab the back both taillight covers for 60.00 and I really want to do this first thing in the morning - Monday- I was able to score 2 Outback bucket seats yesterday - Saturday- and folks I tell you for 80.00 including taxes they are a wheel of a deal.. I will pick up seat covers to protect them for sure, because I destroyed the last ones being they had no covers. Back on the topic I just want to say thank you in advance for any info... I have undone the three nuts that are 5/16 in size however the covers still are not yielding and I am not sure what the next step is... My next question is that I want to replace the clutch on my 2.2 standard before this one goes. I am not sure how long a cutch is suppose to last however this one has been in there for 4 years and she has seen some serious action. I want to get a really nice clutch and install it myself for the experience so if anyone has any guidance to share that would be sweet as well. I would think the 2.2 would be a little less involved than this video but similar. http://youtu.be/2jePj03rsL0 thanks again for any help that anyone can offer or if you know of a thread elsewhere on the forum boards that would be cool.. please enjoy... my first hyper lapse tour with my precious beast...

johnnyispy Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Found this Clutch On eBay what manufacture would anyone else suggest... are all clutches equal for the 2.2 ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FX-STAGE-1-CLUTCH-KIT-HD-FLYWHEEL-90-01-SUBARU-IMPREZA-LEGACY1-8L-EJ18-2-2L-EJ22-/400859036049?fits=Make%3ASubaru%7CModel%3ALegacy#vi-ilComp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've used the Grip Force Clutch kits and have been happy with them. 4 years is not that long on a clutch, is it slipping? if not, let it go. If you do go in to do the clutch make sure you reseal the rear breather plate under the flywheel. Do NOT change the rear main seal. The tail lights, make sure you got all of the nuts, there is one or two on the outside edge, as well as the ones on the back. Even with all of the nuts removed the sticky stuff they use to seal it to the body will hold it. Light pressure with a flat bar between the body and light will start it moving. Doing this on a hot day is better than a cold winter day. Apply some heat to the body inside if you can, heat gun. Take it very easy with the pressure, the plastic of the light will crack first, if you're to aggressive. You could practice on another Subaru in the yard first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Tail lights are glued on with some nasty weather seal goop. Makes it a real pain to get them out. I don't remember how many nuts/bolts hold those lights on, but check carefully for any others before trying to pry the light out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyispy Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 This is good to know... - it sucks and makes the job harder... However my Subaru love will find the way.... I want to score the two rear passenger doors however they have power windows... Does anyone know how hard it is to do the wiring for power windows? My current beast does not have power windows.

AdventureSubaru Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 You'll benefit from an 8mm wrench and maybe a deep socket. There are a couple that are easy to miss and hard to reach. The last one I got from a junkyard, I used a pair of tin snips to bend some sheet metal back and have a larger access to get them. And patience in pulling it out. especially in the cold it will be firmly stuck to the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot I live outside of Vancouver British Columbia currently and the weather forecast is 10c today which is pretty nice.... However I will take time to be more organized to do this in another few days or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
