How To Remove A Subaru Engine (Step By Step)

You guys have asked for this video for a while so finally decided to throw it out there. How exactly do you remove a Subaru Engine? Well lemme show ya! This is pretty applicable to any Subaru. Yes some things will be different between all chassis but it should apply.

In this video I am using a 2006 Subaru WRX STi as the car we are removing the engine from. Older cars will typically have some things break as you go to remove items but don’t sweat it to much, You can do it!

Elrond McBong says:

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?

Vaccines Kill People says:

How many bolts with the starter bolts are there?

muth33 says:

I will be pulling my na ej25 soonish and this video will be used alot, thank you! Great content.

Timothy Bronson says:

How heavy is a engine?

Goatbaaad says:

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.

Jordan lewis says:

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

Drew Egan says:

pulling the ole girl out tomorrow much more confident now xD

Denise says:

Well BRO , You Wear That Hat … There's Alot Of Experience , In THAT HAT !!!!

BlueCollarBoy says:

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

Night□Drivers says:

Bolt snapped off in my slide pin how fucked am I

Reefy bmx says:

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?

AlexanderSydneyOz says:

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.

Frank Zee says:

My 06 legacy gt 5 speed does not have the 14mm fastener to remove the slide pin for the clutch fork… what do I do?

Matt Posey says:

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
