joeo Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi All - took some pictures and notes on replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 1995 Subaru Legacy Outback. Hope someone finds it useful! http://www.lovehorsepower.com/SubaruDocs/TimingWaterPump.htm -Joe http://www.lovehorsepower.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Great !! Thanks! One thing though I need to mention is the crank pulley need to be torqued down to 140ft-lb's. Atleast thats what had to be done with my Legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeo Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 That's interesting. The service manual I have is for a 1992 Legacy - still the EJ22 engine, and it shows 69 to 76 ft-lbs. That does sound low for a crankshaft pulley bolt, but it is what is specified in the manual. -Joe http://videos.lovehorsepower.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avk Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Current service manuals, starting around year 2000 or so, do specify 132 lb*ft of torque for the crankshaft bolt. However, the current part number for this bolt is different from the one for "old school", as I learned recently when a FSM page was posted on NASIOC. But indeed people say the old spec. is too low. So the mystery remains. I tightened the bolt to 90 lb*ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
