Clutch replacement on 99 Legacy.

Hi, My clutch has just started slipping... Just in time for the camping
season typical. I've a couple of questions. i) Is it possible for a man
with mediocre mechanical skills 4 axle stands and a reasonable tool kit to
undertake the replacement on the drive? If so will I need any specialist
tools and any idea's where I could get the procedure from ii) Can anyone
recommend a good independent (no way can i afford main dealer prices)
subaru garage in the UK pref in the midlands.

Any and all of your thoughts on clutch replacement gratefully accepted.


Regards.

David.

If I were you I would get the factory service manual for this vehicle.
Search ebay for an electronic copy. A small investment to see if you are
willing to take it on. The only special tool I would use is a clutch
alignment tool and that would probably come with the clutch kit.

If you pop into uklegacy.com I'm sure you'll get an answer to all your
questions; I believe there's a downloadable manual that covers your car's
year on the site too.
Hope to see you there!
