In a previous video we removed the timing belt and water pump on the 2011 Subaru Outback. Had a bit of a spell getting the fan off but that issue is solved and now it's time to get it all back together.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. I had surgery on my right wrist a few years ago, but my left hand has worsened since then. My surgeon recommended wearing wrist braces at night and this has made a huge difference. It's worth a try if you haven't already. Good luck.

Worked for an old timer mechanic back in the early 70's when I was in high school. The first time I helped him change a water pump he had me get his box of wood dowels. He had a number of sizes and lengths. He pulled out a couple and stuck them in a couple water mounting holes, slid the gasket on over the dowels then slid on the water pump. He then started a couple bolts hand tight, pulled out the dowels and installed the rest of the bolts. I have used this trick a number of times to keep the gasket in place when changing water pumps. I still have my box of dowels in my tool box.

Nice work. As I commented in part 1, my kid & I did one of these two years ago, first timing belt job ever, and I'm relieved to note we did everything right including: struggling to keep the water pump gasket on, forgetting the little seal between the water pump & oil pump and having to do it again, and dropping a bolt on the splash shield in the corner instead of the easier one in the middle. The smaller timing cover was already cracked by Another Shop™️, so we put a couple little beads of RTV in the seam, enough to help hold it on but not so much as to be difficult to remove later. Everything worked great, all the way to the scene of the crash earlier this year. 😕

@johnpublic6582 11 ай бұрын

He didn't mention why you have to be sure to torque the crank bolt. Because if Sumudda guy didn't do it, then the pully comes loose and ruins the end of the crankshaft by the time you pull over to find out the source of the noise. The "good news" is Loktite 609 has been gluing mine for 15 years and 150,000 miles.

@DaddyBeanDaddyBean 11 ай бұрын

@@johnpublic6582 the book says to torque it to a certain number, and then to a much higher number, and if it doesn't reach the higher number within 75° of additional rotation, replace the crank bolt. I was going to the Subaru dealer for something else anyway and a crank bolt was only like $4, so I just went ahead and replaced it. And torqued it to spec. 👍

When you pulled the cardboard off the rad it instantly reminded me of WHY I didn't remove the cardboard in a past life. I didn't put the frigging fan assembly back on and there was just cardboard left taped on. That was a morning job and it hit me at the end of the day. "Hey, you gotta bring that truck back; I gotta check something". Slap all that back on, check that I didn't forget anything else, and forgot about it until just this viewing of this video. Luckily it was a small town and he only drove it a mile or so, but it was a huge mistake worth kicking myself over. Hey, kids didn't have years of experience gained yet but I'll chock that one up as a learning moment. Told them AFTER I fixed it and that was my first experience of, "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" in which I'd learn more of a few years later in life in another venture. "Heh, I forgot to put the cooling fans back in. I was so proud of the time I got it done with that I should have known something was actually wrong". Got a chuckle in return and he still came back so I guess all was actually forgiven...good people.

Aisin is one of the biggest OEM parts supplier for Toyota, Honda Nissan and Subaru. I worked at the Toyota plant in Georgetown Kentucky unloading parts. Aisin and Denso are the biggest suppliers for the (import) manufacturers. We always pronounced Aisin as Ison, they also made a lot of hubs, rotors and drums for the Camry. Arvin Sango provided the exhaust, Pioneer made a lot of the stereos. Johnson Controls made the seats and some of the batteries. Seat belts came from Canada via a company called QSS which stood for Quality Safety Systems. I used to know pretty much what every supplier made but I left that job in 1998 to pursue a plumbing career and now I've forgotten a lot of the things that I knew by heart then

Your tensioner pulley on the belt will always be on one side or the other of the crank pulley (depending on which way the engine spins). Since your power is pulling on the belt at the crank-- the slack will always form on the opposite side of that crank-- so that's where your tensioner will always be. If you put the tensioner somewhere in the middle-- the load resistance of everything after your tensioner would cause the belt to pull too hard and would always bottom out your tensioner springs and hammer on it. So the "load train" has to be unbroken-- meaning that your belt has to be pulled tight from the crank -- all the way around to the last loaded pulley-- and then your tensioner will always be the very last thing in the train-- just before it hits the crank again. Tensioner pulley is always the caboose. :)

I had a 96 Legacy wagon . It went to the great shredder in the sky with 315,000 miles on it. It still got 32 MPG and the only rust was one hole on the frame by the right rear tire in the NY salt belt. It still ran great but, all of the CV joints were bad so it was driven until it decided it didn't have any use for the drive shaft . It was the best vehicle I ever owned as far as reliable. I did nothing to it except drive it . One night we had two feet of snow. In front of my driveway there was a drift that was higher than the hood. It took a few tries but it pounded through it and plowed two foot of snow a mile down the road until I reached the main road. It was in the later 90's that Subaru opened a factory in the US and they went to sht.

Stupid as it may sound, it is really encouraging to hear that you struggle with things like getting the water pump in place without dropping the gasket. Maybe you should change your saying to "If I can have trouble doing it, so can you!"

Back in the early 70's my grandfather had numerous gerber jars full of square nuts and flat heads ,machine flats , wood flats etc. I still have his Yankee screwdriver ! With the drill type chuck on it and it still works but its awkward .
