I couldn't get it out either it was going to snap I could tell. I need to invest in a portable torch kit for stuff like this. I ended up taking the suspension arms loose on the other side to get the CV Axel out. Their bushings are shot as well I'm just getting them back on the road for now untill the weather gets better, then I'm going to have yo rebuild the rear end.

Just one

I hope your able to get it, these subie wheel bearings can be a real PITA

Priest lake mobile repair fully deployed Took me 6 hours, but I got it. Otc makes a quality tool for sure, I was really impressed how well it pressed the bearing out and back in again with my battery powered impact, didn't hardly strain itself.

How many miles on it?

Snap ring hung me up at first, I'm elbow deep in this cars wheel bearings. Check out what I've got to work with I'm having lots of fun. I can't tell where the seal begins and the hub begins. My dewalt has really impressed me, pulled that bearing out with ease.

That's bad, sounds like its a good thing you pulled it.

Wd40 works better than belt dressing lol

Dewalt bruiser impact http://dewalt.com/tools/cordless-impact-driverswrenches-high-torque-wrenches-dcf899p2.aspx?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=http%3A%2F%2Fdewalt.com%2Ftools%2Fcordless-impact-driverswrenches-high-torque-wrenches-dcf899p2.aspx&utm_campaign=6.18.15_Bruiser It makes an average pneumatic run and hide.

Oh and dewalt impact screwdriver bits are the way to go for a good screwdriver that doesn't cost an arm and a leg but still doesn't strip out screws.

I've been using tekton and performance impact sockets sockets with no issues as well As for battery powered impacts you should try the new ones. My dewalt puts out 1200ft lbs reverse torque and 700ft lbs forward. So ya it is outstripping most air impacts I've used. Performance tool makes a good wratchet, I've been using mine for years with no issues, they are kind of bulky though. I have used snap-ons ratcheting end wrenches and those are defiantly hard to beat by anyone and well worth the Money. Only other tool I've considered buying from snap on is a twin beam 1/2" torque wrench. I've got more, but I'm on my phone and it makes it hard to type. Oh and as for test lights, the $2 harbor freight led test lights are better than snap on IMHO. Screw the multimeter get a power probe, way more useful

If its just piston slap it might be an easy fix.

What kind of metal where they, does it look like copper or steel Or is it aluminum. Piston slap can cause large flakes of aluminum to come loose. Still shouldn't be seeing a ton of flakes. Grab ahold of the crank and see if you have any back and forth play. Grab each rod and see if you get play out of any of them.

I know I've run 225/70r15's on a 99 outback with no issues, granted they weren't brand new though

Now I'm really impressed, I just realized I had done all that with my impact on 2 not even turned up all the way and it did it with ease. Great tool, wish I had bought one a long time ago.

Ya I noticed that once I used it its really easy to pick out the right size tools.

Never mind, I just pulled apart a rear hub assembly off of a 95 legacy I had laying around. Didnt even hesitate to pull apart with my dewalt 1/2" impact. It is the same method for pulling a front bearing, but you have to swap 311882 for 311883 to get the bearing out

I just got my hub grappler kit, I'm about to do a set of rear wheel bearings on a 97 impreza. Of course they only list the front bearing in the book the give you Subaru rear wheel bearings are really the only reason I bought this kit. I figure the same method for the front will probably work for the back as well so I'm crossing my fingers there. Anyone on the board got one of these? Have anyone used it on a rear bearing on a subaru? I've got a couple really rusty rear hub Assembly's off a 97 legacy I can ply around with to get the idea, I'm just hoping it will work for what I just bought it for.

Ya that part number is the same as my 90 and its original 4 pin maf

The rear is a lot harder, mainly because of the 1" bolt that's 6" long that is always rusty and hard to get out.

That's the front

lol that would be cool as hell, lifted justy.
