November 1, 201114 yr The easy way is to replace the hub. Just unbolt the complete assy and replace it with a good used one.
November 1, 201114 yr Author ha, not that is... i need 96 outback subaru.. not Toyota Sure you still want to do it?
November 1, 201114 yr This one uses a special Subaru tool that some have used a Harbor Freight FWD wheel bearing tool on: http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/--Articles--/--Endwrench--/WhBearRep.pdf Here is a guide for a rear wheel bearing that uses the Harbor Freight FWD Wheel Bearing tool. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1925081 If you don't have the tools to change the wheel bearing, changing the complete hub assy with a used one is often the best solution.

November 1, 201114 yr Removing the long bolt is the worst part. It may be rusted frozen in the bushing through the rear lateral link. It may also be frozen in the the holes and front link. The knuckle can be removed without removing the bolt completely, but I went the further step and cut the head off and pushed it out like this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/album.php?albumid=304 The bolt is $40 dealer only. I got mine from boneyard. My local parts/machine shop replaces bearing and seals for ~$100. I would not use a used one. Torque is not that big an issue. Big bolts VERY tight, large bolts QUITE tight, medium bolts kinda tight. Haynes has all the numbers if you have are really concerned and have a recently calibrated wrench. One thing: if you use impact wrench to tighten, follow up with hand wrench. Oh, and make sure you use lotsa antisieze when reassembling, thinking of the next guy.
November 1, 201114 yr Try the search function on this forum. Also google: "Subaru rear wheel bearing replacement+forum," or different permutations thereof. You'll find that it works quite well.
November 1, 201114 yr 1996 outback subaru wagon 2.5L so, pleasee give me any GOOD links for replace rear wheel. i need to know how much torque ft lb and etc.. Did you check the FSM? It has the procedure (albeit using "special tools") and all the torques. PD: about the video... man, how I hate when someone can't talk without shouting...
