Ok, checked the carrier bearing where cv shaft goes into diff. Really loose, lots of play. Any special tools to remove/replace this??? Any advice, tutorials, anything?

Here's the video. Checked the front diff fluid again this morning, barely showing on the dipstick. Getting ready to drain what little is left and see what we find.

I'll make a video of my own tomorrow, but in the meantime, I found this video on youtube which sounds about the same to me. Noise is only on acceleration, like in this.

Thank you guys. We drive about 30 miles a day on dirt roads. Tore apart the brakes and found that the calipers were clogged up with dust. Rebuilt the calipers and drained, refilled, and bled the brakes. Everything working fine now.

2009 legacy se 5 speed manual  with 40,000 miles. Everything has been working perfectly, until this morning. Wife calls me this morning and says the rear wheels locked up on her way into town. The car skidded to a stop and died. After a few minutes she was able to move it off the road and we let it set for awhile. I drove the car the two miles back home with no issue. Later in the afternoon I went to pick up my daughter and the reading on the dash computer was reading no more than 9.5mpg and there is a grinding noise under the seat upon acceleration. It does not seem to have power loss. Being new to Subaru all together i have no idea where to even start.
