This question has been answered before in this forum, but I'll give it another hit. Changing a timing belt, although time consuming, is not a terribly difficult job. Unfortunately there is one specialized piece of equipment that holds the engine pulley still so that you can remove the capscrew that holds it on with 135 foot-pounds of torque. It is very unlikely that you have this tool or anything that could approximate its function. Get yourself a shop manual and review the procedure. You will need to have photographs to help you through the job and it just isn't possible to detail a job like changing a timing belt in this venue. If you think the job is within your skill level, buy the tool from Subaru or have a fabricator make up something to hold that pulley still while you remove the screw and have at it. Good luck! --Ken
