DIY Changing belts in '96 Outback ???

[maxenglish]

Hi,

I want to change the belts myself in my '96 Outback.

My novice questions are:

1) Could someone point out the number of belts under the hood and
which of them is most important?

2) Where are they located?

3) Are they easy to change?

Any info in this regard would be of great help.

Thanks.

Max

Buy a book. It worth 1000s e-mails...

Or for about the same price, use your DSL connection and download all
the tech manuals from Subaru. It's $20.00 for a 72 hour subscription.
All the basic manuals are there for Subies from 96 to the present.
I've heard the pdfs there are over a couple hundred megs.

Would you be so kind as to explain exactly what you're talking
about in excrutiatingly painful detail ? This sounds like $20
well spent for those of us with high-bandwidth web access, but
I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Go to www.subaru.com ?

Thanks, found it. So you put $20 on your VISA and then
you can download anything you like (pdf's of service
manuals) like a maniac for the next 72 hours ? And
it's not restricted to one car so I can share it with
a fellow Subarite who has a Forester instead of Legacy ?

Cool stuff - thanks for telling us about it !

I just heard about it myself so I can't tell you for sure but that
sounds about right. I think it's intended as a subscription kind of
thing where all the latest tech information is continually posted. It
makes a better argument if you're a repair shop than a DIYer. I think
they recommend that you download what you need - and continually pay
them for the privilege, but honestly, for home weekend mechanics it
shouldn't be an issue.
