Bad news on repairs.....
I cooked the hub, not just the wheel bearing, but got one ordered from the fine folks at Courtesy Subaru in S.D. They are great for OEM stuff. The wagon will be on stands for another week or so... boo hoo....
The good news....
The exhaust leak was a blown gasket (manifold to UP) Thank god it didn't go through the turbo. I'm sure it failed when the cheap-ass bolt wilted from the heat and opened a leak. That's a piece of cake fix, and the EBC yellows should arrive about the time I'm putting her all back together with new rotors etc.
The wagon will roar again soon
