Nice to get a couple of clarifying questions answered here in a nice quick video. Easy fix made easier with this vid. Cheers heaps from an owner of a second hand Japanese import 2002 Subaru Legacy 3.0GT down in New Zealand.
@@thedavidlpearse glad to hear that the video helped you work on that obvious modern classic! I almost bought a Legacy when I lived in Australia, but it was before yours was built, and not nearly as cool 😎
My wife has the same vehicle. The bearings on the tensioner pulley seized, and the pulley fell off. I will be replacing the tensioner once I get the part. Job looks pretty easy. I like that your video gets straight to the procedure, without unnecessary chit-chat.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm with you... The videos with five minutes describing what the video will eventually be about are sooooo annoying. ;-). Next time, tell your wife to let you know that something sounds funny before the car starts shedding parts. ;-)
Almost none. I was kind of surprised, since some cars seem to sit with the upper radiator hose full. This one just wasn't, so I only lost a couple ounces (guessing).
I hope yours is like the one I worked on, so you don't end up with too few rags! Good luck with the repair. That's the kind of things that make old Subies happy!
Here's a link to the rockauto site (for the car I was working on, YMMV). IIRC, I ordered the Gates. Just make sure to get a "name brand" tensioner from a legitimate vendor so you don't end up with a long ride home on a flatbed! ;-) www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,2001,outback,3.0l+h6,1375107,belt+drive,belt+tensioner,11659

Glad the video helped!
Awesome, thanks! How much coolant did you actually spill?
Almost none. I was kind of surprised, since some cars seem to sit with the upper radiator hose full. This one just wasn't, so I only lost a couple ounces (guessing).
@@Mark_H_DIY Cool thanks, I am ready to do this now and wanted to know how many rags to get :-) Thaks for the quick reply!

Super handy! My tensioner is frozen and tore my drive belt. Did you have a link or part # for the tensioner?

Not sure if you meant "great" or "freak" but I'll take either... ;-)
