Allen wrench in armrest compartment?
Hey all, I was digging around trying to adjust my parking brake and took out the liner from the arm rest compartment and there was an allen wrench in there along with the 3 screws i was looking for. What is the allen key really for?

I thought it was to return the auto seatbelt if they quit working, (That's what it's for in the XT6) maybe both?

Why Subaru didn't just make the two adjusters the same size and make do with one wrench is beyond me, unless they thought it was a significant marketing point for a luxury GT.

b) I'd like to know that too. No sockets in my tool box seem to fit, and I don't want to risk enlarging that little hole in the headliner.

The reason you can't fit a socket on the clutch nut, is because (if you look closely) there are tabs bent down over the nut. The only way I've found to adjust it (which isn't much -- there is hardly any adjustment at all) is with plain ol' war plars.
