How do you repair the release knob of the back seat of a Subaru Outback that has snapped off down inside the seat?

There is a web loop on the passenger side seat cushion in the gap between the seat and back cushions, just pull the loop and the seat bottom releases forward. Use a ratchet to unbolt exposed anchors. That removes the whole seat back. At that point, swing the seat back to one side and use a screwdriver to unlatch the seat back from the broken seat release. Remove the seat back. At this point you have a 2 passenger car. That's how I roll.

Perhaps a dealer can fix the latch mechanism inside the seat.

How do you change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2005 outback?

Approx 30,000 miles.

Instructions: There is a #70 torx bolt in the transmission to drain the fluid. You will need to purchase a new transmission bolt washer from the dealer before removing the bolt. Place a drain pan under the car and remove the bolt. Drain the fluid, replace the washer on the drain bolt, clean the drain bolt, reinstall the the drain bolt and fill with the same amount of Subaru transmission fluid that you drained. This should be around 3.5 to 4 quarts. If the transmission fluid has not been changed for a long time, drive the car and then repeat this process two more times. This is to change fluid trapped in the transmission. Not all of the fluid comes out each time the transmission is drained.

On some models the filter is on the side of the transmission and can be spun off and changed. on other models it is internal. The manual states internal filter does not need to be changed.

How often should you replace your brakes?

Check your brakes every 6 months to see what type of wear and tear is happening. Of course if you hear a metal grinding or feel a shimmy in the front end have them checked at that time. Newer cars have sensors that indicate when brakes are bad. I usually have my brakes checked when I have my tires changed, about once a year. Depending on the amount of driving you do this could vary. Brakes have a 'squeal' factor to them, also. If you hear a high pitched squeal when you step on the brakes, it is an indicator that they should be checked and probably replaced. Dealerships check the brakes at the same time they do tuneups. Next time you take the car in, ask for a list of the items they check at the tune up times. Most check every 15,000 miles, or about once a year.

How would you change the brakes on a 2002 Subaru Outback?

If I were asking here it would mean I have never changed brakes before. Although the process is fairly simple you can do things wrong that would prevent the brakes from working properly. Your first time needs to be with the oversight of someone who has changed brakes before. Better yet, have a qualified mechanic do it for you. Your life and the lives of others may hang in the balance.

2005 subaru outback check engine light and cruise control light flashes Dealer says the two catalytic converters need replacing at a cost of 3000 Could something else be causing this problem?

It could be the oxygen sensors, or some other part of the emission control system (you should have a sticker about this on the underside of the hood). However, because the cruise control light is flashing its more likely that it is some sort of electrical issue.

What is thde Torque specs for a knock sensor for a 2000 Subaru outback?

According to one post I read, but can't find now (with excellent instructions) it specifies 17.4 ft./lb. or 24 n-M. I was informed by an experienced mechanic that you should go a bit lower to start with since knock sensors are fairly sensitive to over-tightening and may render useless if stressed too hard. Say 3-4 ft./lb. less to start with.
This post recommends 16 ft./lbs.
