Which direction do I rotatate the crankshaft pully to remove the bolts to the TC? I believe its clockwise but cannot confirm it. Don't want to bend any valves. Awesome video BTW.

@waynard2u Everything is Right hand thread (standard) If TC means Torque Converter then rotate the TC bolts counter clockwise.

Why not just replace it with a junkyard 2.5 or even a wrx motor?

[briansmobile1]

@newengland72 You totally can! If you can find them. They're popular aluminum block motors to use in ultra light aircraft.

Hi brian, please help me. Mine 98 forester DOHC is liaking oil. I need to reseal oil pan. can you tell me where is the jacking point? I need to jack up the engine a fews inches.

[briansmobile1]

@ycformosa Unbolt the two nuts on the motor mounts and the top back strut mount. Then jack using a wood block at the union of the engine and trans behind the oil pan.

My first time taking the engine out took me about 50 minute I pretty much I ate my hayne book reading so much lol. I was trying to do everything right, now it only take me about 30-40 minute. Reason for me taking out the engine was bc my timing belt jump due to a sprocket broking inside. I was driving my 98 impreza ej22 looking online I found out that it was a inteference from 97-up, non interencere 90-96. Bough another EJ22(1996) for $600 put new Dayco timing belt kit from advance auto part.

2. The drivers side - 1/2 ratchet with a reducer down to 3/8, with the 14mm 3/8 socket. This make a perfect fit. Go in above the cross member under the steering column. This give you enough room to get both hands and pull down. If it still doesn't go, you can remove the wheel and add more leverage to the ratchet. Best of luck ALL.

@sweetlikeADAM

Had the same trouble.

Finally got them - Go heavy on the penetration spray

Passengers Side/ Easier if you have things out of the way. 3/8 ratchet w/14mm socket het it on good and extend with a pipe and go to town. If still no luck, you need to add some impact/ vibration to get the penetrating spray to work. Square up a long screw driver on the nut (as to not damage it) and take some wacks with a hammer.
