". Loosen the lock nut, back off the adjusting bolt and install the new belt after removing the old one."
Mind you, the previous owner may have left it off because bad compressor, a/c leak, or other problem... Get a can or 2 r134a and you may have to add some along with a small can of oil to test the system
In side the trunk behind the light you need to fix is a small access panel. Just open and replace bulb. Very simple and straight forward. Good luck and have a great day.
The one thing youll find with subaru's is that they like to put nuts in funny places that are hard to access. There are either 3 or 4 nuts holding the tail-light assembly in place, which means youll need to take out most of the inner panels to access the others. You should not need a sealant unless the rubber seal is done for or there is water inside the car. Hope this helps
