For 1st time folks. Mark hoses with painters tape, number them and write where they go in a notebook. That way on the way back to install them you dont miss a single one, mark them off the list and remove the tape (that way if you see tape, you missed it) Group bolts on zip lock bags and write where they go. Mark direction of parts that same way. Great video wish it was out 7 months ago when I pulled my engine out. 😂
In general when you learn a platofrm and do it often, it becomes easier and faster by many hours. You might start off taking days to do to a few hours depending on experience
I love how you say “don’t need to lift the car to pull the engine, remove intake, intercooler, battery, alternator” then removes in reverse order and immediately lifts the car 🤣 love it! I definitely appreciate you breaking it down in a quick tutorial, not overly in depth, not full of filler
Just an FYI for anyone doing this, don’t remove the pitch stop. The pitch stop isn’t holding the engine, it’s holding the transmission and has up and down movement so it will not brake. You will have no problem getting the engine out with it in and then you’re not leaving your transmission sitting on 2 shafts and 1 mount.
You may see an increase in views simply because I've been watching this video religiously as I'm currently pulling my 05 WRX motor out. Thanks for the guide man, this is awesome!
A year old vid and still relevant for the weekend broke mechanic. Thanks for the basics. You make it look easy will definitely try it myself when I get my turbo motor. Awesome job brah. 🤙🏽
Well my subie just broke down and I'm done with it I want to sell it but some thing deep inside me is telling me don't do it just fix it you put so much money don't let depression and what's going on in life put you down I'm get her fix I put her up for sell but I'm not in a hurry I will either sell it to the right person or get her fix and this is why I knew following you and watching you would help me out thank you for putting this up!!
Just a tip, when I pull my motors I set the engine leveler front to back and the engine comes in and out so much smoother and no binding during installation
Dear lord, the down pipe bolts are nightmares. Got an old Bug Eye I'm tearing down, and its rusted to hell. Rounded nuts that are rusted! Uggghhhhh!!!!!! Great video though. I'm almost ready to pull mine out.
Ok can we just all appreciate the amazing type of video that we should all have to pay to watch as the quality is just that good plus the knowledge is everywhere in the video. @Smeedia I hope you get a shit ton of new subs as it would be well deserved. Type of video that should not have a dislike button.
Dear God I finally made it... Obligatory first comment. Have a great day dude live the energy, dig the precise concise and incisive way that you create your content.
Enjoyed more than watching a movie.learned a lot and feel soo good man.bro after watching these videos on your channel makes me motivate to do more things on my sti without any fear.🍻
@@Smeedia it’s been a minute for me as well 😂 maybe time to clean shave during COVID because it grows back quick and I forget what my face looks like 😅
Hey tanner what's up, I was thinking about trying to rebuild my engine and redoing all the gaskets,the guys I bought the car from said they changed the head gaskets but I don't trust them and the people who owned it prior didn't seem to take care of it we shall see
I just purchased my first Subie (2018 STI) and immediately started researching. You have a great, informative channel and awesome videos! And BTW, this channel is SERIOUSLY underrated, keep up the awesome work!
I left both both intake, turbo and exhaust manifold on while pulling the engine, super easy! Everyone has their own way ofcourse! I just hate leaning over the enginebay
How to pull the engine out of an automatic transmission? Is it just brute force or do I have to pay attention to something, especially concerning the torque converter?
Good stuff. I've always just kept the fuel lines connected and just flipped the intake/tgvs off to the side like you would with the ac and power steering units.
Dang Bro! I was literally searching YT yesterday for this exact thing; the whole time I was thinking man, I wish Smeedia had a video on this. Awesome content!
I believe 02-05 wrx and 6 speeds have the pin that needs to be removed because it's a pull style clutch. Push style does not have this so you don't need to worry.
Soooo quick question in a 2010 wrx with the 5 speed it doesnt seem to have the transmission slide pin im guessing the slave cylinder and clutch still have to be removed ? In the process of pulling it
NOTE: As far as I can see, the slide pin removal applies ONLY to Imprezas. I am (trying) to get the motor out of my NA Forester and there appears to be no slide pin.
everyone i talk to say they hate working on subaru motors because they are the hardest motors to work on and that always baffles me, ive never come across a motor more easily worked on!, everything is up top or in the front to get access to. It can be pulled in less than an hour. I think the whole having two heads on opposite sides of the motor scares people.
You should do tv. Hear me out. Travel across the states helping people with their builds. Show’s been done before, I know. But not quite for just us car guys, in-line, boxer, a-like. And you’re entertaining. Lol seriously though great content, please keep up the good work. Thanks
Two questions for you as I am prepping to replace a clutch in my 18' STI (never let you girl drive your STI when the last standard she drove was years ago and was a 90s civic....) any way. 1. do you have to remove the intake manifold to pull the engine, or will the engine come out with the intake still bolted on with all the appropriate connections and hoses removed? 2. I am assuming that with removing the turbo, down pipe, headers and intake etc... that I'll need to replace all the gaskets to these parts as well, correct? Thanks for the awesome video @Smeedia, always look forward to your new videos!
Nice and quick to the point, starting my jdm motor swap project and needed a refresher. Just curious why you removed the intake manifold? Doesnt seem like it gets in the way of anything
Hey just hit 110k miles on my WRX and all maintenance was done at 100k miles including walnut blast and 18 sti transmission swap anyways lately I've been noticing a faint smell of gas from the interior of the car and oil seeping from the front right coil pack. Is this an indicator of my motor going out or spark plug is loose?
What if you have a full tank of gas and your going to swap in a new motor , will all the fuel dump out through the lines or only a little bit Thts basically been sucked up by the pump ?
Good knowledge and advice but personally been doing these for years and you don’t need to pull the manifold off to pull the engine it is unnecessary work and pulling the manifold doesn’t make it easier to pull the engine
Omg I’m so nervous! Need to grow some forsure lmao. I got leaky valve seals in my 05 waggy and need to pull the motor. Never pulled a motor outta anything in my life. This video has boosted my “fake it till I make it” type of confidence. Any suggestions on replacing things on the way for insurance ? Gaskets ect. Car has no other issues as of rn. Just some smoke 💨 when she fires up then it clears up after a few seconds. But the smell lingers and chokes ya. Also had to apologize to ransoms at the pump for engulfing them in smoke😮💨🤣🤣🤷♂️
Saved to Watch Later (again without distractions) and also saved in the learning category... Seriously like i started watching then a set of CX drawings come in and i turned around and youre Peace-out homies WHooo...
So I just did this job and I think we totally forgot to loosen the nuts on the transmission mount before jacking the transmission up 😅 is it absolutely necessary to do that? We were able to jack the transmission up a good amount even with the nuts secured on there but I wasn’t sure if that would cause problems on the mount itself by doing that. I haven’t had a chance to visually check the mount but is it even worth looking at?
Quick question bro, it’s safe for an 05 STI engine to used fluorescent leak detection?! Mine is always have a quart low after 1500 miles. I want to used that and than remove the engine and used a UV light to see where engine oil is sipping or leaking. Thank you in advance!
May need to pull the engine off my BRZ. I think the compression ring aint working anymore. I'm thinking of throwing an OEM short block assuming my heads are still good I'm at 70k miles, 10k of those were hks supercharged miles. Is that advisable? if so do i have to get the heads resurfaced to get a good seal with the new block?
I like your Subaru Videos but seems like removing the engine with extra steps lol. Only thing I remove is the radiator starter and down pipe then pull the engine. But great detailed video.
Depends on who's doing it tbh, idl what shop rates are but I can do it in a afternoon if I have all parts. I normally just do 1.2-1.5K for a straight swap. But heavily dependent on the car. Some shops charge upwards of 5K
Thank you for all you do for our community & fans of yours! I’m wondering how you would compare this type of manual trans EJ STi removal to a non turbo ej53 with auto trans from the same generation? I’m assuming the auto non turbo would be less parts and therefore less hassle, is that assumption correct? Any major differences in removal that you can think of by chance? Thanks again, your hard work never goes unnoticed!
Little more easier because no turbo components in the way but aside from that should be the exact same with the expecting of removing the torque convertor bolts 🙏🔥
I don't have any but it should be pretty straight forward. Get the new TOB on thr clutch fork and get thrm lined up Get the slide pin back in Put the hex bolt back into the trans Reinstall the engine Then push on the clutch fork to engage it to the pressure plate 🙏
@@Smeedia awesome thank you sir! I'm in the middle of pulling the motor out, just wanna make sure I'm not gonna have a total pita time trying to get everything reinstalled 😅
@@Smeedia well like I said idk if it's all years or just the 04, but mine is an 04 an is definitely a 10mm. Figured this could help someone else. Thanks for your content sir 🤘🏻
So I started up my Hawkeye today and the ac idler puller is frozen I was shredding the belt for about a minute cause thought it was serpentine making noise and waited for it to stop making noise.. only had the car a month and honestly am getting nervous that not much maintenance has been done to the car it has 116 thousand miles , how would u go about getting back in a maintenance schedule? Just inspect everything and replace if it looks worn or bad? Like has the fuel line been done at 70 thousand ? Or am I ganna go up in flames ? Also how common is it for the ac idler pulley to go out ? Basically just a bearing that dried out?
Older cars will have the issued more naturally. What I do everytike I buy a used car is swap every serviceable item within reason. Oil change Trans fluid Rear diff Spark plugs Filters etc That way you know when to do them next and that they have been done.
@@Smeedia thanks tanner !, your the best ! Trans fluid and rear diff will be done next payday I’ll be sure to watch your tranny and rear diff change again when the time comes . Thanks again lol some of your videos I watch over just to pound the knowledge into my head and your channel is helping me save this wrx from its previous owner who must have lost the love for the car
Luckily I have some friends that pull EJs all the time. One of them is the owner of the shop and the other's his main mechanic. They can both do it practically blindfolded by this point.
Hey I have a question, great video, really helpful I have a 2008 wrx hatchback and I cant see a hex ket bolt, just a couple of bolts? Is it the same thing or do I not need to pull out a pin? Cheers mate
Smeedia. I have a important question. What if I’m putting the motor back in and i got the bottom bracket bolts back in but when try putting the motor in and connect to trans it’s not going. I have the wholes and everything lined up but it’s like the clutch for is in place but belhousing won’t clamp together. What may be the problem. Is there a way I can instagram you that way I can send a picture on where I’m stuck at bro?
Hell yeah f it im gonna do this on my 2015 sti to change the clutch. Was gonna take it to a shop but cant find anyone i trust down here. May take me a little longer but as long as i can borrow a hoist i know i can do angood job with this video. Im assuming jts basically the same on 2015?
I kept thinking to myself, this mechanic is speaking at an auctioneer’s rate. Maybe it is my 82 year-old ears. Hope I can follow it all and get my 2003 Subaru Forester engine out to make it easier to replace its head gaskets, get the heads skimmed by a machine shop, find oil leaks and adjust a noisy valve. Then hope I can put it all back together before the North Dakota winter sets-in.
I just spent hours trying to figure out why i couldnt get bolts to thread in above the dowels.... Currently facepalming lmao thanks for helping me figure it out🤣
Low key. Hardest time I had with pulling my motor was oil return line clamp on the bottom of the turbo…. Absolutely worst area to work in my opinion. That press fit is in the worst spot 😂
@@Smeedia LOL with my crusty old heat cycled oem rubber oil line. I think I tried doing that the first time and couldn't realize why it wasn't coming off. Do you know if that return line is under pressure anyway or just gravity? I was so determined to have the hose clamp seal that off well. #NoFireGang
Hey tanner, so I kept getting excessive dam drop + fine knock learn but no codes popped up. I decided to compression test and cylinder #4 was at 110 psi while the rest were at 140+. 1. Do you think this is what caused my dam to drop? 2. I’m assuming my motor is blown or close to it? Opinions
Next step would be to do a leakdown test to see if anything comes back for leakage, it's definitely possible that it could be related to a dropped DAM value
Smeedia well it looks like you made this video at the perfect time because I’m likely pulling the motor here soon. I’ve learned a lot from your channel btw keep it up dude!
For 1st time folks. Mark hoses with painters tape, number them and write where they go in a notebook. That way on the way back to install them you dont miss a single one, mark them off the list and remove the tape (that way if you see tape, you missed it) Group bolts on zip lock bags and write where they go. Mark direction of parts that same way. Great video wish it was out 7 months ago when I pulled my engine out. 😂
All great tips as well! That's what I did the first time I pulled mine 🙏
i usually just put everything in a can and then forgot where nuts bolts go.
Damn wish I would’ve done this before I was half way done pulling it
Glad I’m not a first timer 😂
Fake news I'll remember where everything goes in 5 months time 😂
This is why I mainly watch your channel cause you look out for the little guys and give us true how to videos
Always will where i can ❤
totally agree man, most others just talk as if everyone are pros.
Bro he did make it for us. I asked him last year cuz I need to do a 02 bugeye engine removal. He hooked it up for sure
Your thorough knowledge of the Subaru platform is goals man. You make pulling an engine look as effortless as changing clothes.
After so many of them they're not too bad to do, hoping that this helps others when they need to pull their own engine 🙌
In general when you learn a platofrm and do it often, it becomes easier and faster by many hours. You might start off taking days to do to a few hours depending on experience
I love how you say “don’t need to lift the car to pull the engine, remove intake, intercooler, battery, alternator” then removes in reverse order and immediately lifts the car 🤣 love it! I definitely appreciate you breaking it down in a quick tutorial, not overly in depth, not full of filler
Anytime 🥳 tried to just get the main points In 😅
He said you don't need "A" lift, as in a car lift. Jack and jack stands for us poor folk.
Just an FYI for anyone doing this, don’t remove the pitch stop. The pitch stop isn’t holding the engine, it’s holding the transmission and has up and down movement so it will not brake. You will have no problem getting the engine out with it in and then you’re not leaving your transmission sitting on 2 shafts and 1 mount.
You may see an increase in views simply because I've been watching this video religiously as I'm currently pulling my 05 WRX motor out. Thanks for the guide man, this is awesome!

I have never even changed oil before but after seeing this video I genuinely believe I can fumble my way through this. Thanks for the great content.
Glad I could help and you totally can do it! 🔥💪
This is the most in depth engine removal I've seen so far thank you Smeedia!
Glad I could help 🥳
How does this not have thousands of views!!! this must have been a pain to film. Thank you!
Well my subie just broke down and I'm done with it I want to sell it but some thing deep inside me is telling me don't do it just fix it you put so much money don't let depression and what's going on in life put you down I'm get her fix I put her up for sell but I'm not in a hurry I will either sell it to the right person or get her fix and this is why I knew following you and watching you would help me out thank you for putting this up!!
I'd say sit on it for a little while, trust me I've 100% been there too, have made the choice to sell some that I ultimately regret 😮💨
@@Smeedia Im do that instead you have a point there brother.
Just a tip, when I pull my motors I set the engine leveler front to back and the engine comes in and out so much smoother and no binding during installation
No joke I’m going to need this video at some point when I decide to replace my clutch
When the time comes, the video will be here 🙏🔥
Bro! The old hat was awesome. I’m sure ppl that were complaining don’t typically work on their own cars lol
Lol the old hat still lives, but neded a new one anyway so gotta break it in 😅
Awh man I’ve been waiting for this video since the beginning of the Channel! Hoping one day to put it to good use! Keep up the good content!!
It'll be here when you need it 🙌🙏
Oh thank goodness you didnt get rid of the old hat, My eyes were glued to the screen just so I learn this.👍🏼

How’s your car
I left both both intake, turbo and exhaust manifold on while pulling the engine, super easy! Everyone has their own way ofcourse! I just hate leaning over the enginebay
O don't blame you, always felt like everything got in my way when removing it all 😅
How to pull the engine out of an automatic transmission? Is it just brute force or do I have to pay attention to something, especially concerning the torque converter?
This is gonna be useful. I just found out my rear main seal is pissing oil, so I gotta pull the engine
Ooooooooof 😖 annoying seal to be leaking, hopefully thr video helps 😁
Love that this video isn’t an hour long. Great job and thank you for your service! Keep wrenching man 🙌
💪💪💪
Good stuff. I've always just kept the fuel lines connected and just flipped the intake/tgvs off to the side like you would with the ac and power steering units.
I've done that before as well, multiple ways to get them out of the way 🙌
Could you send me photos of where the ground wires go onto the engine from the body? The quick connect small ones.
Dang Bro! I was literally searching YT yesterday for this exact thing; the whole time I was thinking man, I wish Smeedia had a video on this. Awesome content!
Eyyyy I got you 🙌🙏😁
If you were doing a clutch (without a lift) would you rather pull the motor, or pull the trans?
Pull the motor 100%
Thank you bro keep up the amazing work we all appreciate the content so much!!
Hey man, great video, doing my engine for my Impreza and a doner Impreza next weekend, this video was great
This definitely makes it a little less daunting. Solid video man!
Thanks my dude 🙌 it's not too bad to do 🔥
I believe 02-05 wrx and 6 speeds have the pin that needs to be removed because it's a pull style clutch. Push style does not have this so you don't need to worry.
Soooo quick question in a 2010 wrx with the 5 speed it doesnt seem to have the transmission slide pin im guessing the slave cylinder and clutch still have to be removed ? In the process of pulling it
Salve cylinder does not, you should be able to depress the slave and pull up on the clutch fork to release it
@@Smeediaperfect timing im gonna finish pulling it today thank you 🙏🏽
NOTE: As far as I can see, the slide pin removal applies ONLY to Imprezas. I am (trying) to get the motor out of my NA Forester and there appears to be no slide pin.

Totally agree! They're much easier to work on that what people make them out to be!
Great video, honestly better than most FSM's out there. Tanner, the other dowel is on the transmission.
I saw that after I put the camera down 😅 going tk have to yert it out of there when I get the new engine in
Hypothetically could I take the motor out of a wrx and throw it in my legacy? It’s has the fb 25 stock but can’t do shit to it it’s a auto tho
I'm finally doing it, bro! I'm about 40% there, id say. Just gotta do a few more steps and I'm there! Thanks for the inspiration!!
You should do tv. Hear me out. Travel across the states helping people with their builds. Show’s been done before, I know. But not quite for just us car guys, in-line, boxer, a-like. And you’re entertaining. Lol seriously though great content, please keep up the good work. Thanks

Two questions for you as I am prepping to replace a clutch in my 18' STI (never let you girl drive your STI when the last standard she drove was years ago and was a 90s civic....) any way. 1. do you have to remove the intake manifold to pull the engine, or will the engine come out with the intake still bolted on with all the appropriate connections and hoses removed? 2. I am assuming that with removing the turbo, down pipe, headers and intake etc... that I'll need to replace all the gaskets to these parts as well, correct? Thanks for the awesome video @Smeedia, always look forward to your new videos!
Fantastic step by step boxer engine removal. Thanks for the awesome video
Stellar and extremely informative video. Gota swap my throwout bearing and it seems i gota pull the engine. (New subaru owner)
Nice and quick to the point, starting my jdm motor swap project and needed a refresher.
Just curious why you removed the intake manifold? Doesnt seem like it gets in the way of anything
Hey just hit 110k miles on my WRX and all maintenance was done at 100k miles including walnut blast and 18 sti transmission swap anyways lately I've been noticing a faint smell of gas from the interior of the car and oil seeping from the front right coil pack. Is this an indicator of my motor going out or spark plug is loose?
Sounds like a valve cover seal is bad or leaking
What if you have a full tank of gas and your going to swap in a new motor , will all the fuel dump out through the lines or only a little bit Thts basically been sucked up by the pump ?
Just a little bit, you don't have to drain it 🙏
Whatever is in the line will spill out a little
@@Smeedia sweet thank you keep up the good work man your the only guy us Subaru brothers love to watch man
Do I have to drain the oil before pulling the motor?
I would advise it but you don't have to
Good knowledge and advice but personally been doing these for years and you don’t need to pull the manifold off to pull the engine it is unnecessary work and pulling the manifold doesn’t make it easier to pull the engine

New engine break in tutorial?! Tips tricks dos an don'ts 👀🙌
On my list to make 🥳
Not gonna lie, was tempted to try to find that same hat, and snag one for you. Can't lose a good hat.
I've looked for years and could never find another 😅
So I just did this job and I think we totally forgot to loosen the nuts on the transmission mount before jacking the transmission up 😅 is it absolutely necessary to do that?

First impression of video was Tanner no beard 🤔🤔🤔 ???? Shit am I watching an old video?? 🤣🤣🤣. Love these videos!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2010 Forester xt I can't find where the driver side ground wire goes.
The one in the engine harness that has the injector wires in it
Any ideas?
Quick question bro, it’s safe for an 05 STI engine to used fluorescent leak detection?! Mine is always have a quart low after 1500 miles. I want to used that and than remove the engine and used a UV light to see where engine oil is sipping or leaking. Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the advise on the ets non resonated exhaust im loving it. You video helped me decide to get it.
Eyyyy, glad it helped! 😁
When u hook up the chain to engine do you use grade 8 bolts or the same bolts that were their
Used the OEM bolts 🙏
@@Smeedia ima do that then thank you!🙏🏽
Brixton! Let’s go! Their worn wash shirts are my absolute favorite
High key got one 😅🔥
Used this to pull my 04 wrx engine, my cover for the clutch fork pin, was a 10mm Allen
May need to pull the engine off my BRZ. I think the compression ring aint working anymore. I'm thinking of throwing an OEM short block assuming my heads are still good I'm at 70k miles, 10k of those were hks supercharged miles. Is that advisable? if so do i have to get the heads resurfaced to get a good seal with the new block?
I have a question will a 06 Ej25 fit a 05 it looks all the same but I'm new to subuarus? Also wondering other year engine will interchange
I like your Subaru Videos but seems like removing the engine with extra steps lol. Only thing I remove is the radiator starter and down pipe then pull the engine. But great detailed video.
I like to pull as much off before hand 😅🔥
Possibly one of your best vids yet!!!
Might be the new hat and shave😅
Oh and having a car hoist is always pretty handy too!!!
Oh it definitely helps! 🙏
What sort of total labor time is involved when replacing a long block in one of these? Like a rebuilt long block
Depends on who's doing it tbh, idl what shop rates are but I can do it in a afternoon if I have all parts. I normally just do 1.2-1.5K for a straight swap. But heavily dependent on the car.

Get the new TOB on thr clutch fork and get thrm lined up
Get the slide pin back in
Put the hex bolt back into the trans
Reinstall the engine
Then push on the clutch fork to engage it to the pressure plate 🙏
@@Smeedia awesome thank you sir! I'm in the middle of pulling the motor out, just wanna make sure I'm not gonna have a total pita time trying to get everything reinstalled 😅
@@Smeedia hey also I didn't know if you knew but at least the 2004 sti is a 10 mm hex key instead of a 14 mm. I found that out the hard way LOL
I did not know that 😅
@@Smeedia well like I said idk if it's all years or just the 04, but mine is an 04 an is definitely a 10mm. Figured this could help someone else. Thanks for your content sir 🤘🏻
okay i know this is in a past video but i cant seem to find it, whats the best clutch master cylinder fluid to use for an 05 sti? great vid btw
OEM is what I alqays use, motul RBF is good too 🙌
So I started up my Hawkeye today and the ac idler puller is frozen I was shredding the belt for about a minute cause thought it was serpentine making noise and waited for it to stop making noise.. only had the car a month and honestly am getting nervous that not much maintenance has been done to the car it has 116 thousand miles , how would u go about getting back in a maintenance schedule? Just inspect everything and replace if it looks worn or bad? Like has the fuel line been done at 70 thousand ? Or am I ganna go up in flames ? Also how common is it for the ac idler pulley to go out ? Basically just a bearing that dried out?
Older cars will have the issued more naturally.
What I do everytike I buy a used car is swap every serviceable item within reason.
Oil change
Trans fluid
Rear diff
Spark plugs
Filters etc
That way you know when to do them next and that they have been done.
@@Smeedia thanks tanner !, your the best ! Trans fluid and rear diff will be done next payday I’ll be sure to watch your tranny and rear diff change again when the time comes . Thanks again lol some of your videos I watch over just to pound the knowledge into my head and your channel is helping me save this wrx from its previous owner who must have lost the love for the car
Hi thank u for your help I'll be taking my engine out soon it blood a head gaskets
The injectors must be in the TGVs? Sorry guys still kinda a rookie but always looking to learn!
Correct they are located in the TGVs 😁
Luckily I have some friends that pull EJs all the time. One of them is the owner of the shop and the other's his main mechanic. They can both do it practically blindfolded by this point.
Oh yessss good resource to have!
Hi, what screw size did you use to get the slide pin out of the transmission? Thanks
Hey I have a question, great video, really helpful I have a 2008 wrx hatchback and I cant see a hex ket bolt, just a couple of bolts? Is it the same thing or do I not need to pull out a pin? Cheers mate
For the WRX you won't have that slide pin, you'll disengage the clutch fork from the TOB by pulling up on it
@@Smeedia perfect, engine is out! Thank you dude 😁
Do you have a parts list for all of the parts you replaced?
Pulling my motor on my 2.5i impreza soon starting tmrw!
You got this 🥳🥳🥳
@@Smeedia Thanks man love your content im sure i’ll be watching this vid 20 times over 😅
Great video but can we get an engine install vid?! The subtleties and tricks would be awesome!
Yes I can film that when the time comes 🙏😁
Smeedia. I have a important question. What if I’m putting the motor back in and i got the bottom bracket bolts back in but when try putting the motor in and connect to trans it’s not going. I have the wholes and everything lined up but it’s like the clutch for is in place but belhousing won’t clamp together. What may be the problem. Is there a way I can instagram you that way I can send a picture on where I’m stuck at bro?
Do you have to pull the front cv shafts out?
Hell yeah f it im gonna do this on my 2015 sti to change the clutch. Was gonna take it to a shop but cant find anyone i trust down here. May take me a little longer but as long as i can borrow a hoist i know i can do angood job with this video. Im assuming jts basically the same on 2015?
What engine hoist and engine stand do u use?
amzn.to/3OOsXLV hoist
amzn.to/3BziQaC stand
Use these ones frequently mine Re just diffrent colors
Thanks amigo
You just made that look so damn easy I feel like I could go out and rip it out in an hour now 😅😅 giving me false confidence man 😂
I kept thinking to myself, this mechanic is speaking at an auctioneer’s rate. Maybe it is my 82 year-old ears. Hope I can follow it all and get my 2003 Subaru Forester engine out to make it easier to replace its head gaskets, get the heads skimmed by a machine shop, find oil leaks and adjust a noisy valve. Then hope I can put it all back together before the North Dakota winter sets-in.
How many bolts with the starter bolts are there?
I just spent hours trying to figure out why i couldnt get bolts to thread in above the dowels.... Currently facepalming lmao thanks for helping me figure it out🤣
Glad the videos helped 🙏🙏🙏 we all do it 😅
Low key. Hardest time I had with pulling my motor was oil return line clamp on the bottom of the turbo…. Absolutely worst area to work in my opinion. That press fit is in the worst spot 😂
Just yeet the turbo up after unbolting it and it will slide off 😅🙏
@@Smeedia LOL with my crusty old heat cycled oem rubber oil line. I think I tried doing that the first time and couldn't realize why it wasn't coming off. Do you know if that return line is under pressure anyway or just gravity? I was so determined to have the hose clamp seal that off well. #NoFireGang
Just gravity. Shouldn't be seeing pressure at all,
Hey tanner, so I kept getting excessive dam drop + fine knock learn but no codes popped up. I decided to compression test and cylinder #4 was at 110 psi while the rest were at 140+. 1. Do you think this is what caused my dam to drop? 2. I’m assuming my motor is blown or close to it? Opinions
Next step would be to do a leakdown test to see if anything comes back for leakage, it's definitely possible that it could be related to a dropped DAM value
Smeedia well it looks like you made this video at the perfect time because I’m likely pulling the motor here soon. I’ve learned a lot from your channel btw keep it up dude!
