lmdew Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The easy way is to replace the hub. Just unbolt the complete assy and replace it with a good used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike104 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) 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.

uniberp Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 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.

hohieu Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboguzzi Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 did it twice with simple ally spacers i turned on a lathe, a big, make that, HUGE threaded bar, and a plumbing tube as puller spacer. nice to know that i have now all i need in case i have to do this again. That said, not a job for the meek..... and yes, the long bolt can be a bastard! TG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
