It helps to have a small light to look down the tube to see what's going on. Then, spray it with silicone spray. Then push/pull a long 1/8" or 3/16" screwdriver all around between the spark plug ceramic and the broken piece. Then do the same between the piece and the tube wall. Then work the screwdriver at an angle, trying to rotate the broken piece under pressure, as you slowly pull the screwdriver out. Repeat. Check with the light. When it's worked out a little, or if you get bored, take a long handle long nose pliers, open it as much as possible on the edge of the rubber piece, push in and grip...then pull. Repeat and check with light until you get it out. I had 3 out of 4 boots break on a 2002 Legacy, and this is how I got them out.

No there is not.

I do not understand why you want to remove the porcelain if it is broken off. Just remove & replace the spark plug which is no longer any good if the porcelain is broken.
you have to remove the washer bottle and the battery and the air duct then remove the coil packs then spark plugs easy

Probably a dirty distributor, broken cap, or broken igniter. Its best to have a mechanic that is very familiar with Subarus to work on them. Subarus don't have your average motor and mechanics unfamiliar with Subaru's can easily make a fatal mistake in working on them.
The spark plug gap for a 1995 Subaru Legacy is .044"
I would imagine that you are referring to a high voltage electrical distributor on the engine rather than an automobile distributor. Your Outback doesn't use one. Look under the hood and locate the spark plug wires. Trace any of them back away from the spark plugs and you will see that they plug directly into the coil on top and near the front of the engine.
Changing spark plugs on a Subaru is no different from changing spark plugs on any other car. You may have to remove parts of the air induction system to make access easier. Be sure to check the gap on the new ones and use anti-seize on the threads.
