  1. Thanks for the write up. I couldn't find a good write up on how to replace turbo inlet/intake, so this definitely helped, even though the OP didn't remove manifold, it gave me some good starting points. It took me 10+ hours to remove and replace turbo inlet. What a pain that bracket from hell is, and I ripped out the wire to the weather connection for the knock sensor. I broke a couple vacuum lines, that of course are different sizes on the ends, so have to be ordered from the dealer, so those repairs took a couple hours. I could easily do it in 2 hours now that I know every bolt, vacuum line, and what connectors have to separate.
  2. Thats exactly how I did it. Remove the one screw you can get to, and then remove the three screws from the actuator, and then bend the bracket to remove the actuator. After lubing mine didn't work, I had to buy a new one, $70 from local dealer. New one works perfectly. Also I didn't realize I knocked the arm off of the passenger side temp. control actuator, sent my wife to work and she calls me to say the passenger side is blowing cold air. So I took the parts off three times to complete. NOT fun.
  3. OK, I finally finished installing new motor form Subaru. I couldn't get the whole cage off with the motor, so i just unscrewed the screw closest to the front of the dash, unscrewed the motor from the cage, bent the cage up enough that the motor could wiggle out. Subaru part # 72131AG09A $67+ tax Not really hard, just super cramped in there. Got it in, made sure it worked, buttoned everything up, thought all was good. Wife calls me 5 minutes into her commute, the part works fine, but theres nothing but cold air coming out the passenger side. So I drove to her work, took everything apart and realized I had knocked one of the arms off of the dual climate control motor for passenger side. Put the arm back on and everything is golden now.
  4. Thanks for posting all this! I pulled my actuator off yesterday because it had completely stopped working. It had been making the creaking noise for a couple years. I pulled it apart and tried cleaning the contacts, bending the prongs, but it did not fix it. The only thing it did was instead of the ducts being stuck on vent, now they are stuck on defrost. I thought I had it fixed when i reconnected it and it shifted to defrost, but it never moved from there. I guess i'm buying the part Monday from the dealer, their price is comparable to the internet. I'll update when I get it complete.
  5. Thanks to the OP, was able to fix wifes Legacy GT for $3.00. Thanks!!!
