Hi there, I have a 1994 Subaru Legacy Wagon and am trying to figure out how
to change a turn signal bulb… You refer to it being easier than the video
of you doing it on a 1995, but I can’t figure out how to get the assembly
off, it’s the passenger side, would you mind telling me how? Thank you!
Hello, Kris. Unfortunately, I sold my 1994 Legacy back in 2010, so I need
to refer to memory. I do remember that the front turn signals were a
separate piece from the headlights. If memory serves correctly, there
should be a philips head screw in the turn signal lens. Remove it and you
should be able to gently pull the lens out. Once out, you turn the bulb
connector to disconnect it from the lens. Once again – from memory. I hope
it helps, but take it with a grain of salt.
Thanks. I changed the van’s brake fluid last year, so I’m a way off from
needing to do it again. However, the general process is identical. The
biggest change is that the Vanagon’s master cylinder is located in the
dashboard, below the instrument cluster lid.
General accepted practice, as well as pretty much every factory maintenance
schedule I’ve ever seen, recommends changing the brake fluid every two
years. I didn’t make that up. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and very much
does age and deteriorate.
Indeed – at least for the paint. It isn’t very fast acting, though. I have
spilled brake fluid on paint before. So long as you clean it up fairly
quickly, you’re OK. As for the turkey baster, I’ve been using it for five
years now on brake fluid only, and it’s holding up just fine. Keep in mind
that there are rubber parts in a brake system, and brake fluid won’t
necessarily damage rubber.
Great video, make one for Vanagon as well 🙂
complete foolishness, changing brake fluid every two years. fluid is
changed out when a caliper locks up or something of the like.
Be very, very careful not to get brake fluid on any painted surfaces as it
will eat it away, it will also eat away the rubber on the turkey Baster so
chances are you will need to get a new one for the next job!
