C: CAUTION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, in-
stallation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent. Do not mix gear oil, grease, etc. with those of different
grades or from other manufacturers.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified points.
•Apply gear oil onto sliding or revolution surfaces before installation.
•Before installing the O-ring or snap ring, apply a sufficient amount of gear oil to avoid damage and defor-
mation.
•Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth
between the part and the vise.
•Avoid damaging the mating surface of the case.

part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent.
Do not mix grease etc. with that of another grade or
from other manufacturers.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
• Apply grease onto sliding or revolution surfaces
before installation.
•Before installing snap rings, apply sufficient
amount of grease to avoid damage and deforma-
tion.
•Before securing a part on a vise, place cushion-
ing material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate,
or shop cloth between the part and the vise.
2. OIL
When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent
unexpected accidents.
•Prepare container and waste cloths when per-
