Installation

The cam gear bolt is typically replaced during camshaft removal and reinstallation, timing belt/chain service, or engine rebuilds. It is strongly recommended that this bolt be installed by a qualified automotive technician, as cam gear installation requires precise torque settings and may involve engine disassembly. Refer to the Subaru factory service manual for correct torque specifications for your vehicle. Note: This bolt may be a torque-to-yield (TTY) fastener — always confirm whether single-use replacement is required for your application.
