New member, here.

I'm about to attack my 2000 Forester right front axel replacement. I did this a couple of times on my old 86 GL. Does anyone have recommendations for service guides like the old Chiltons manuals? I don't seem to find them anymore. (Is is just me?)

http://techinfo.subaru.com is about the only place you'll find OEM manuals. They may pop up on ebay, so it might be worth keeping your eye open. Other option is a service like www.alldata.com
