naimouasta Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 i've done valve cover and spark plug seals on other subies before with ease. however on my 2008 legacy 2.5i, it seems the valve covers are stuck in between the engine and frame rail. i don't want to force it out and mess something up. everything is already unbolted and free. they are just physically stuck in between. wtf. do i really have to unbolt and jack the motor up or side to side? has anyone done this on a newer 2.5i?

naimouasta Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 yea i jacked up the motor like 1in. just unbolt the pitch stop and the individual nuts on the engine mounts. easy, but really?... i had to jack the motor to do valve cover seals. kind of ridiculous. easy though.
