aksoob83 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Just bought my first subaru and it's a 1983 DL station wagon, 4WD. The driver's side front CV is totally shot and i need to replace it. What size socket do i need to get that big bolt off (the one you can see with the wheel on). I realize that this is a common problem and i apologize if this is answered somewhere else but i couldn't find the answer anywhere. TIA Alfred ftajk@removetomailuaf.edu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 36mm. You will also need either a puller or large brass hammer to unseat the axle from the hub. They usually fight to the very end. It is also recommended that you replace the bearings at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
