    Those no spill funnels are a godsend on a Subaru, I use mine every time I mess with the coolant now and haven't had any issues with having to burp the system afterwards. Amazing

    great video, thanks for showing me what i'm about to be up against. REALLY good to know that you can delete those damn brackets... removal is hard enough- can't imagine how bad installation must be with the engine still in the car

    Thanks so much for covering this! There are other videos on YT dealing with this but yours had the most detail. I did this on my 03 WRX recently thinking an injector might be causing misfires as replacing the coil packs and plugs didn't work. Unfortunately replacing the injectors did not fix my misfire, but getting rid of the GBOD's will greatly aid in future work in those areas.

    @@calebschmidt2869 Unfortunately I still have the misfire. I have some other sensors (cam, cranshaft position) to try which I don't think will do anything. After that I'll do a compression test. The car has 228k on it so it won't be shocking if it's an internal issue.

    @@calebschmidt2869 I also did the forward O2 sensor (air/fuel monitoring) already, but that made no change to the misfire issue. The misfire codes I get are too generic to pinpoint where it is. I've also heard to check ground wires, fuel pressure regulator/pump, etc.., My guess is compression but I need to test it to be sure. It's my only car so I'm still driving it around while I look for a new vehicle. It's struggles here and there but it still gets me where I need to go. It still boosts fine as well though I'm not mashing the gas pedal down. Good luck finding out what it is!

    I feel your pain. I had the exact same experience with mine. I left both brackets off and used a longer hose in place of the attached hard line. My TPS connector broke too so I bought an extension that fits the connector and just plug the individual wires on it. Luckily they stay connected. Right now I’m having misfires and I can’t drive it. It’s bad enough that I’m losing power and barely able to drive. There’s always something........ :(

    I've got a 2004 wrx wagon with 241k miles on it that is leaking fuel into the oil. I am going to inspect the injectors, so thanks for the video! Hoping it's something simple, maybe just needing a cleaning. It's been burning oil like crazy the past year or two, so I was quite surprised to find the oil level higher than I left it when I checked today...it's always been lower in the past. :) Smells like fuel in the oil.

    The gearwrench grabs the nut or bolt from the flat side as do sockets with more than six sides those hex sided and open-end wrenches grab the bolt or nut on the corners and if they're old and worn then the corners cant hang as well as the flat side so then go with one of those types tools, not hexagonal socket or an open-end wrenches which are more for speed not torque. That injector job took a lot of guts.
