I'm trying to change the sparkplugs on my 2005 Outback XT. Is there a special tool to get in there? Doesn't seem to be much room. Also there doesn't seem to be a repair manual for this car, they stop at
Subaru has timed, all you can download documentation, for a very reasonable fee.

I found it very worthwhile when I owned a Subie, with the money spent a great value for the PITA factor eliminated.
chronsucks asked :
I have to ask: how much mileage do you have on this car? You only need to replace plugs every 30 000 miles / 48 000 km.
I wanted to replace them myself on my Impreza and thought better of it when I saw how cramped it is and how deep the plugs are encased. I let the dealer do it rather than risk stripping the threads in the cylinder head. Better them than me...
