This video is a tutorial on HOW TO REMOVE A SUBARU ENGINE WITH A HOIST. I walk-through all the steps involved in setting up the hoist, some custom tools I use, and pulling my Subaru EJ-series Engine. There’s also a whiteboard breakdown discussion on ANGLES involved in this process, which is really important to understand. Finally, I show you how to use the BIG HAMMER and SCREW DRIVER method to get an engine that is really stuck! Hope you enjoy the video, there’s some pretty funny moments in this one, plus a lot of good tips - Cheers!
This video is part of a "Build Series" (see "Playlists" tab for all videos) for my 1998 Rally Blue Pearl RSTi Coupe (Impreza 2.5RS swapped with a EJ205 turbo engine), which is 1 of only 720 sold in the USDM for 1998. This RSTi Build has come a long way and includes a full archive of videos documenting how to: (1) Pull a EJ-series turbo engine, (2) Replace the head gaskets, (3) Add key upgrades to increase long-term reliability, and (4) Restore the interior to OEM specifications.

I did an engine swap in a 05 Outback. Much thanks to this video and you channel btw. My engine and tranny were stuck together as well but did exactly what you showed us in the video and it worked! When I put the new motor in I brushed anti-seize compound on the mating surface on the engine so that if I end up taking that one out they hopefully will not be stuck again.

Hey Luc. You may remove small steel plate between motor and transmission(2 bolts10mm(bottom motor)) and apply pray bar to disconnect motor. Point of connection pray bar: 1. trans. body --> 2.clutch

Best tool for separating the engine from the transmission is a drywall knife, I'll never pull a Subaru engine without one.

0:59 From the looks of that hood, that's an RS too. You've just added one to my list of known remaining (5 so far, including mine. Keep in mind I'm only counting the CA vehicles, because as a TLEV, only RSs titled in CA can be registered in CA. No buying one that was titled in New Jersey, for example, and registering it as operable in CA). Funny enough; you and are are from the same city. Did you happen to buy (or was it bought be the original owner) at Diablo Subaru like mine was? And I'm currently building mine into an STI v6. I'd be interested in maybe bringing to you to get some work done. Also, how did you get the 720 1998 coupe 5-speeds number? The resource I have says it was 995. Maybe your source is more accurate than mine and I so I can update it?

@SubaruONLY 3 жыл бұрын

It is an original RS, nice to find someone else with one. These are super rare, as I suspect you know. Email me directly and maybe we can work something out - cheers!

Good question - yes, it can. I just lower the trans down onto the engine crossmember. Cheers 🥂
