I always remove the radiator when I do it (they only remove the fans in the how-to). It can be done without taking it out but you just have so much more room to work with and it doesn't take that long to get it out of the way.

Matt, thanks for the clarification. It makes sense, I should be able to do it fine once I see it. I will let you know once I start working on it, most likely next thursday. Take care, Walter

Immortal_Suby, do you see the front main seal in this picture? What's the part number? I couldn't find it on there. Thanks, Walter

Allright Guys,
first of all I would like to publicly thank Tom (tomsvx) for being such a great fellow SVXer. Thank you Tom, I got the water pump, seal and the CDs (<-- unexpected) yesterday. That really helped. I also wanted to thank Mike (longassname) for lending me the tool to remove the crank gear and to always be there to give me advice when I need it. Now, onto the bad news. Today I finally managed to take the car apart and take a look at the situation. It isn't pretty. It turns out that what caused the whole mess was the water pump which seized and brought everything to hell with her. The two flush pulleys on the left of the crank gear are seized, and so is the tensioner pulley. I am easily looking at another $200 + shipping and this is really killing me. I wish I could have taken pics but I had forgotten to bring my digital camera with me before going to my friend's shop to work on it. All I can say is that I found the two flush pulleys torn in pieces and all the little bearings were over the place. Here's a pic I 'borrowed' from that tutorial site that Tom suggested me, where you can see what seized: Besides buying the three pulleys that seized, what else do you guys recommend me? I am gonna call SubaruParts on tuesday because they are closed on mondays... Regards, Walter

I realize it's difficult to swallow but I'd be very hesitant to use any of the idlers or the tensioner cylinder after such a shock has occured. Let's put it this way: I couldn't, in good conscience, repair a customer's car with less. It would really suck if I only replaced a few then have the same happen all over again, due to hidden damage in the remaining idlers or tensioner.

So what else exactly should I add to the list? So far I have this: - The two flush pulleys on the left of the crank gear - The tensioner pulley Is there any chance you could tell me which part numbers should I order from this page? Sorry for the ignorance, but it's hard for me to decypher mechanical terms in english so I am not 100% sure what I should add to the cart. Here are the pieces that I already have: - Timing Belt - Crank Seal - Waterpump + Seal Thanks again. Walter

All those pulleys completely seized, as in, won't turn at all? (What are the odds of that happening?) How many miles on your car?

Wow - amazing that all of that stuff would sieze up at once. First time I've heard of it being that bad. Sorry to hear it.
I hate to be the one to say it but, if you can manage it now would be a great time to throw in a new oil pump as well (since you won't need to take the covers off the timing area for at least another 80k now since you are replacing everything else and your oil pump will be over 200k at that point) In the long run it will save you money. Not a necessity but it is a good preventative maintenance measure.
