Excellent video sir! I am going to take a pass doing it myself lacking tools and a lift. But I learned a lot about my Forester. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to video the steps. Cheers

great video man! I'm not gonna attempt to do this myself because I don't have an engine hoist but you have a lot of good tips there for people like myself who will supervise the work done on my car. Thanks a lot!

Huck great vid. Wish had something like this when i changed the clutch in my 85 gl back in the day. The easy way back then to split the motor and tranny was just to push on the clutch and everything just came apart, idk if this idea will work on the newer ones but just an idea to try i guess. also thumbs up on the Rammstein playing in the back ground :)

If you have a lift yeah!!! I don't. I dropped a tranny once.....Never again WITHOUT a lift!!!

Good video Huck. If you wanted to save a few minutes and some knuckle skin, I believe you could have left the fans on the radiator. I'm never wrenched on a Forester, so I may be wrong, but I've pulled the radiator on the Impreza a few times to work on the timing belt assembly and I've never removed fans. Just disconnect hoses harness and supports. Not my idea. Check out Mikethemeatballs tbelt videos. I hope this doesn't come across as sharpshooting your technique. Just offering another approach.

Nah!!! Don't feel offended at all. Everyone has there method of working. I just did it to show people. I just find it easier this way because depending on the car, the stupid rad fan gets stuck on the power steering pump.

i talked to someone who, rather than lifting the engine up, suggested removing the k frame and lowering the engine and transmission down. What do you think about that? Does it sound like a good idea to you?

Even more work. Pull the engine if you don't have a lift. If you have a lift, drop the tranny!!!
