Probably don't strickly need it but makes the job much less worrysome

Thanks for the advice… i need all the advice I can get. My WRX is a 04. What year is yours?
Don't have one anymore, but I bought an 03 new, and an 04 sti slightly used in 04, and then I had an 06 wrx wagon for many years. Both times I changed timing belt was in 2.5L motor, but I think its mostly the same for the 2.0L.

Good time to check if the radiator is about to crack and replace radiator hoses. Id use all OEM parts and coolant with subaru coolant conditioner, not really worth cutting corners on those parts IMHO.

If you can replace the clutch it will be straightforward for you, especially with the cam holding tool.
