Yeah I'm in the middle of this now. Whatever you do, make sure you can break all the trans bolts first. Especially top 2 long bolts and the two nuts opposite the CVs. They gave me big trouble. And don't skimp on the leveller and jack the trans while lifting. Everything else was straight forward except exhaust bolts were rusted (soaked in penetrant for a day) and AC couldn't fold over since I got new hoses.
I have so many questions for you man. I want to get a short block just for piece of mind. Nothing wrong with my car now. You made it look so easy. I have done stuff to my car and other cars so Im not a complete noob at this. Great job.
Looks fun, now I have to figure out how to do this solo.

PSA: The WRX hood can be stood vertical by detaching the hood supports and just moving the stud down one hole.
First things first take the hood off and drain the fluids. Then have at it

I mean its a subaru you cant go from having an extra block laying around just incase.
Thank you! Sounds like you could replace a block no problem!
Inspired. You guys kick ass.
Thank you! I appreciate that
I’m about to the same thing. How about ac lines? Coming off without pressure release?! I’m curious
I evacuated the ac system at my work before bringing the car here to avoid paying a mobile ac repair business and avoid the osha fines
@@Fix_it_Garageawesome. Thanks man. I will have to get a mobile mechanic over. Btw great content. Keep up the good work 💪
