April 8, 200520 yr First I would just like to say that I just stumbled across this board yesterday and since then have already learned a lot, thanks. Second because of this board tomorrow ( my day off ) you guys gave me the confidence to change out the CV axle on my 88' GL wagon. I have had mine since November of 2003 ( She has 250k miles on the clock) and although the wife does not understand it fully she tolerates my love of this car, it was the best $ 400 I ever spent. The funny thing is that I bought it when the transmission in my 92' ford f-150 gave out ( for the 4th time in 160K miles ) and have been driving it ever since. It was even side swipped by a guy going down my street about a month ago, and it is still not dead. It's good to know that there are others out there, Thanks.
April 8, 200520 yr Welcome to the board. CV axle changes are sort of a rite of passage for subaru owners. Just take it slow and you shouldn't have any trouble.
April 8, 200520 yr Shawn W. is helping me through my first this weekend. Can you believe it? a Subaru owner for over 5 years and never an axle replacement! (OK, I had the shop do one on eyesore after Midwest 2, but I've never gotten hands on.)

First one took me 4 hours b/c I was a dufus and I did it while it was dark. Second one took me 45 mins. BW
