2003 Subaru Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement, the Right Way - Nerd out of Water

This old computer nerd (me) replaces the timing belt and water pump on his 2003 Subaru Forester. There are some important steps outlined in a service bulletin that came with the belt/pump kit. I was told by a professional mechanic (A Subaru specialist) that these steps are unnecessary. Right! These steps are:

19:45 - Purging the tensioner
29:00 - Belt-to-crank cog clearance
32:50 - Torquing the crank bolt

There are some other videos that give you a better view, but mine is a "must watch" because I don't skip the steps in the service bulletin. Here are links to some of those other videos:

The first one is a dual cam version but the procedure is almost identical. The second one has the engine out of the car so you get a better view of the procedure.

Sorry about the sound. I'll try to boost the audio and upload the improved version later.
