That's a cool project and will be a nice rig

Also, to extend tool life, you should always use the largest drive size that will fit the application. So as a method when working, 1/2" should be first pick and only size down if it doesn't fit.

Yeah, it looks like the usual mark the nuts position, count the threads. Remove nut, yoke, seal. Install new seal, install yoke, tighten nut a hair past the original position.

I also feel the AC is undersized. When it's >95 and your in the sun it is only keeping up when it on full blast middle vents only. It's alot of glass that is untinted. I'm sure more tint would help.

We bought a 2015 forester brand new. Current version is similar but updated. It's been a great vehicle. To me it's the best midsize SUV for Visibility, AWD Fuel Economy, Space, total cost of ownership. Subaru is certainly a more practical design vs. comfort and luxury. That is really the only...

The only reason you learned to make change is by observing cash based transactions as a child. Then engaging in cash based transactions over your life span. It is entirely possible for someone to have never observed or engaged in a cash based transaction. They literally have never practiced...

Both our 2015 and 2017 burn around 1qt /5k miles. Bumping up to 5w30 did improve it a bit.

Around 20k miles. I ran the factory fill to 90k miles, then knowing it is out of warranty did my 1st change. I was going to change it again after 50k on the fluid.

Interview them, it was pretty clear to me the ones I wanted in my corner.

FWIW Valvoline CVT from Walmart seems to be a good buy. That is what I used on my forester. Comes in gallon jugs.

I have gotten value from my buying agents. When we found the hot property they got the first showing and we were the first offer in. Then they ensured the sellers didn't backout and we got the deal closed. You need the right agent and know when to Aim and fire. Becuase they know the people...

On mine, I used a temp gun on the outside of the pan to get in the ballpark.
