brandonk802 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hey, I just bought another Subaru Legacy, now I am salvaging the other Suburu for parts. I am in the process of removing the engine from my 1996 Subaru Legacy L, automatic trans. I have been reading other threads about the "torque-converter to flex plate bolts". What is the easiest way to access these? Do they need to be removed for the engine to be removed? Is there a way to access these bolts from up top? The access point from below looks really confined.

scontivt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes there is. There is an access on top of the engine. Some can get the bolts with a long extension after removing the alternator, others remove the intake to get to it. The access is on the passenger side rear of the engine on top of it. Can't remember if there is a cover, but you should be able to tell once you dive in. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
