Not very specific on any of this at all. Use any wrench to take off this little bolt. Use a hammer to remove the spark plug
I have 2010 Legacy 3.6r and I am not able to fit the socket in the spark plug or it feels it is way deep inside and too small hole to get even the smallest socket. Is there a special socket?
friends/experts…Please note, very important: inch pounds and foot pounds are crazy different numbers. I would suspect most here know that as a given; however, as a newby to torque wrench usage, I did not. I was moving along step by step in the video, then bought a torque wrench (to do it right/as instructed). However, and this is a VERY big deal. I set my wrench to 155 "foot pounds." Remember, new guy here, I didn't notice or know their were different measurements of torque for those tools. So, of course, you guessed it: ripped the plug right out of the threads while installing. Absolutely feel stupid, and a lesson I'll never forget. I'm just praying the shop can get the old plug portion out and install new ones with an easy out, etc…not pulling head. I only posted so another wouldn't make the same mistake.
2015 Legacy 2.5i Premium has a different battery tray. It is bolted down the side of the frame with two bolts that are nearly impossible to reach.
2015 legacy have much less space on the right hand side. Didn't even got a chance to torque it right.
