I have 2013 Legacy I will be replacing my serpentine belt soon. Thank you for posting this. You have saved me both money and time. Look forward to more of your videos! Thanks again.
Quick question, do you remember what length breaker bar you used? Thanks.
Thank You, people like you make life a lot easier
Small tip that I'm sure every Subaru owner knows, but in case not, those clips are total crap. Buy them in bulk on amazon in case they break. OEM clips from the dealer are some insanely expensive ($1-$2 for each).
Thx for the video..
That's not a water pump. It the power steering pump. other than than, easy peasy, nice job.
On my 2012 Forester using a Gates belt I had to gently pry it over the AC pulley with a screw driver, spent an hour trying to do it with my fingers just to tight. Never had onion other cars this tight before.
Just to confirm this is the FB25 (non-turbo) engine, right? Also, did you just buy the replacement at the dealership or did you get a non-oem one? If non-oem, do you have the brand and part number by chance?
Great video, I’ll do it as my wife’s 2012 Outback is approaching 105k miles. Some recommend to replace the tensioner and the idle pulley as well, is it really needed?
The dealership charges 300 for this job. You did it in 5 min. Amazing.
Just bought my kid a Legacy. Needs a new belt. This video explains the process very well. I'll have him change it and I'll "help". He'll feel like a mechanic. Thank you.
are the 2 belts the same model? can you provide the ac belt and drive belt model numbers? thx
Is that the water pump or the power steering pump?
Thank you for this video. I'm not sure why it was so hard to find a good video for this simple job. Good job man
Thank you for this video! So if I wanted to replace the alternator, providing I even need to get the idler pulley off, is it safe to just loosen the bolt in the middle of the idler pulley that's blocking the alternator, and the pulley will come off? Or is there something I need to know before I do that? There are so many videos on YouTube on how to remove the alternator from a Subaru 2.5l engine, but they all show the old EJ25, not the newer FB25 that's in my '14 Outback 🙁
