awesome how to video. I get sick and tired of the talking and the blah blah blah and people wasting time finally a video that just gets down to it gets it done and shows me how to do it I love it
Thank you, I was able to replace both front cv axles on my 300K mile USDM 08 legacy GT spec B in about 4 hours start to finish. I expect I would have messed up my camber without your tech tip to mark that bolt, very smart! Torque specs and written descriptions were extremely useful. Great work!
Mind sharing the part #s you used? my '08 b needs the same treatment
Great video, great tips... Thank you.
I also bought aftermarket axles and they appeared to be too short... Until I stretched the news ones out. The inner boot held them short...
I was able to remove the old ones by "slide hammering" them out, they have enough play to do so.
Once again, thank you for the effort you put in to make this video.
And, yes... My vibration under acceleration is gone :)
A perfect repair video. And no silly distracting background music. Perfection.
Had done a similar task on my Nissan pulsar years ago, got some really helpful tips from this neat no nonsense video. Good job, really admired the way you professionally use the torque wrench where it really matters. Thanks
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Looks like this will be my next project, of seemingly never ending projects. Great video as always!
You make it look easy. I've got a 08 outback that I'm tearing apart the front end - hub/bearing, lca, sway bar links, cv axle. I've watched you do all of those. I figured I should be drinking beer in about 37 minutes! Great videos.
Instant sub! Doing my CV axels tomorrow. Can guarantee i will have this video playin by my side as i do it. Next is my 2 front bearings. Just wish i had the cash to do em all at once.
Well made video. Thanks for taking the time to document and lay it all out. You make it look easy!
Your videos are great, really useful. I need to do lots to my 2007 outback, first priority fix auto levelling headlights, total pain so far.
Major thanks to you for these videos man. I'm doing CV axles, rack and pinion assembly, PS pump and shocks/struts all at once on my '06 legacy and you have been a big help.
Awesome this helped a lot to know what tools to have handy for the job. Thanks
Great video. Helped me decide to do this myself. Just like the video, the cotter pin was the hardest part. 😁
got a new subscribe from me. this is amazing material for me to work on my car, when spring and warmer weather comes about! gonna have so much fun working on my legacy!
Amazing and clear video. There was so much great information that I was taking notes. Thank you
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Thx for the video. I have a '07 Outback. Looking at other videos I saw the roll pin at the inner CV. I was dreading that. Looks like this model has the spring snap ring at the differential side - much easier.
Well documented and straightforward, thank you! I wonder though, why did the prior model years have a roll pin while these don't?
MrSunaru1387 Good video with clear instructions. Thanks for including the torque specs. Got my 2005 Legacy passenger front changed out today.
You're welcome. 👍🏻 Glad to help.
@@MrSubaru1387 From my understanding if you replace something on one side you should do it to the other, is this correct?
Only with brakes do you really need to make pairs.
Perfect video! Gonna try to replace axle on my own.
Thank you for making this video. Video turned out perfect.
You're welcome. 👍
Thanks for posting, I enjoy your videos that you put out. If i may help and give a little advice and save your back and less work. The next time that you do another cv axle, this is my tip. Remove tire, cv nut, sway bar link bolt, ball joint nut. Then just push the lower control arm down and pull hub assembly to you, cv pops out, then remove from tranny. It's a really fast way of doing it, and you don't have to deal with the brakes or strut alignment. 3 nuts and its out after the tire is off. Hope this helps for the next time.
Great instructional video 👍🏻
I’m now subscribed.
Halfway through I’d be that guy throwing tools around mad for taking shortcuts thanks for the vid I’ll try it your way lol
Thanks mrsubaru, your videos are great and help me deal with my new gen 4. I especially love the specs included, super convenient.
+kylitosan you're welcome 👍
I probably should have read down before posting my question above, but by Gen 4 do you mean 2010-2014 years?
Check latest video. Just posted a 2014 Outback axle replacement vid.
Oh perfect.... Thanks man I'll have a look... And great videos
Oh perfect.... Thanks man I'll have a look... And great videos
thanks for the video. I will replacing the right axle on my 09 Forester Friday. I did the brakes Monday night, and saw speckle of CV grease on the knuckle. The outer boot looks good but must have cracks that open when steering , throwing grease. Any tips to make sure the trans-axle seal is not damaged when removing the old or installing the old? Should you apply a thin film of grease to the stub shaft before installing into the transaxle? I replaced the knuckle, bearing hub, and balljoints 3 months ago, so it should all come apart easily. Im thinking take as much apart as possible is good to make sure the axle goes out and in straight and not cocked is best.
Muchas gracias mrsubaru con lo que me dices ya estoy claro por donde buscar y gracias nuevamente por compartir.....tengo que realizar cambio de disco embrague y vi un video donde se lo haces a un subaru de segunda generación y ya con eso estoy mu claro con los pasos a seguir....abrazo de chile y mucha suerte
+álvaro jara De nada. Estoy contento de ayudar.
Epic videos from that guy.
Amazing work 💪💪💪
+nikos raptis thank you. 👍
i got to ask subie man, how do you do all the work on theses cars and never talk? im usually talking to myself or cursing everything.
+john mastr trust that I do, I edit it out for a more straightforward and professional presentation.
lol nice.
@@johnmastr7901 i think we all do. I start as soon as i open up the hood lol. Its ritual lmao
lmao!!!!
Nice video. I usually torque the axle nut after the wheel is back on the ground. That way your working against the tire instead of the transmission.
That's not proper procedure from Subaru. The CV axle nut sets the preload on the wheel bearing. Vehicle weight on the wheel bearing, with the axle nut not properly torqued, can damage the bearing.
Awesome video. Wish I could have found the charger for my 1/2" impact. Snapped a 1/2" Armstrong breaker bar.
Best Subie DIY on YT! Like your style of no rambling monologue, just straightforward info. Looking at purchasing a low mileage 92 SVX. Do these share mechanical components of other Subie’s? I’m concerned about parts availability. Any advice on problems to look for on these?Thanks Mr. Subaru, keep up the good work.
+Keith S. Anderson the transmission is the SVXs Achilles' hell. The SVX doesn't share a lot of crossover with other Subaru models. Parts are starting to get kind of few and far between. Windshields, throttle position sensors, and radiators are hard to come by. Still great cars, just have to be aware that you can't just run to the parts store or through dealership for a lot of items when you have car trouble.
Great video, helped me replace my axle!
+Maxwell McComb awesome. Glad to help! 👍
What size are the bolts you ran through the rotors to get it loose?
When replacing cv joint on Subaru outbacks you don't have to remove brake caliper or caliper bracket. Saves a lot of time.
Hello. I have a 2006 Outback and a service station said my rear axle was missing a"clip" and the axle was not working. Therefor the rear wasn't working and I have what would be considered a Front Wheel Drive. He didn't elaborate or offer to fix it. Any light you could shed would be great!
I need to perform this same process of my wife's '11 outback and I understand a lot of legacy and outback work is identical. My larger concern is my wife's outback is from 2011 and is a new generation from the one in this video. Are there any major changes you are aware of that I might encounter? Thanks
I have a leaking rear axle seal leak on a 2003 forester with rear LSD. CV and axle is still in good condition, just need to change the seal. Is there a quick way to do it without taking the brake and rotor assembly off?
What about rebooting the axles? The inboard axle is easy, but I can't find info on how to disassemble the bearing cage on the outboard side.
Thanks for the videos! I have to replace axel and hub. Watched both videos and feel much more confident about doing it myself. I'm replace the shocks and springs, any suggestions on doing the alignment? I just moved to Alaska and my 05 Legacy sit to low, I'm replacing the stock ones with outback springs and shocks.
Not much on doing your own alignment. You can mark the location of the top camber bolt when replacing the struts to keep it close, but you'll need a real alignment done after.
Question should you replace the differential seal when doing this? Is it even apart of replacing the axle?
Good stuff mate, keen for more Gen 4 related goodness. Would love to see rear diff bushes. Mine need doing bad.
+James Greig I'm sure mine are close to needing a freshening up. My front lower control arm bushings are toast. Have the replacements. Just need to film.
MrSubaru1387 do you work on cars for people or just for your self. what state are you in? I have 2008 Outback, like to do timing water pump, oil pan gasket, front and rear wheel bearing. Thanks.
+Magnus Dike I work on my own and customer's.
Thanks mate, keen to see both!
Thanks. That is an excellent video.
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Another good video. My 08 went through 2 sets of axles under warranty. The boots failed. I think the boot is too close to the catalytic converter and the boots get too hot. The last set was replaced at 90K and they're still fine at 172K. Maybe Subaru changed to a stronger boot.
Where do you place the jack stands? I jack the Outback by the lower control arm to body bolt. I like to avoid jack stands on the jack points on the sill, I find you can deform the sheet metal.
Do you replace the transmission seal when you do the axles?
+joepinehill I've found that aftermarket axle boots don't hold up near as well as the oem ones.
I jack the car front and rear under the rear differential and front crossmember. I place jackstands on the factory pitch weld at the marked jack locations. You usually only get deformation of the pinch welds if you don't have the jack stands positioned incorrectly or it the car is rusted. I usually only replace axle seals if they're leaking. Rarely do I see them fail. Usually when they do, it's from being damaged by axle removal/installation.
What's the required time for this operation per side?
Awesome video
Can this be done by hand if we don’t have access to air tools
Rear axles are compatible with gt automatic transmission and manual transmission?
Did you have to unpinch the axle nut before removing or is the impact gun enough to spin it off? Just wondering as they are pinched on
Is this for the 5speed manual? Or auto? Or are they the same?
Was this on an automatic or manual transmission? I have to do one on an automatic is there anything different? For some reason I recall on bug eye wrx's there were some sort of locking pins on the transmission side that held the axels in ...could be wrong tho. Thanks
Sweet video!! I thank you!
+CenterTree777 you're welcome. 👍
At 6:10 I noticed the bolts are opposite in their insertion direction, but at 10:20 they are in the same direction. Does it matter?
+CenterTree777 at 6:10 was incorrect. The last person to work on the vehicle installed the bolts wrong. The bolt heads should face the rear of the vehicle and nuts face the front.
What about the axle seal?
Hello I have an electrical problem with my subaru outback 2010 2,5 the day lights flash and the vehicle alarm is activated without stopping my battery light on. on panel but my alternator and battery are ok I also have a problem with my all-wheel drive because my front wheels are locked like a real 4 * 4 can you help me please the mechanic tells me that I have to change my transmission ,
Is it common that the front inner CV-joints go bad? I have a 2008 outback H6 3.0 and i need to replace both front CV-axels at approx 115000 miles/185000 km. A friend at work has the same model but a 2005 and he has replaced 1 CV-axle due to a bad inner CV-joint.
greate job
I just replaced my 2007 Legacy front struts and watched an incomplete instruction video which didn't tell me that the upper camber bolt needed to be put back in the same way it came out. Not sure how I can fix this. What kind of problems might this cause if I didn't get the bolts back in the same way? Do I need to take it to a shop and have them check the bolts, or is there a certain way that is specified to know how they are suppose to go back in to be properly installed? Thanks much.
You'll need an alignment. The bolts dictate the front wheel's camber.
For anyone wondering this applies to subaru b9 tribeca. 2006 to 2015. Same process just did it.
what is a good after market replacement that hold up well?
Cardone
Does transmission fluid leak when removing the axel? And if it does where do i pour it back into? The transmission dipstick? Ive seen videos where they pour it through a nut with a pump..
If you remove an axle, gear oil, not transmission fluid, could leak. Rarely does it ever.
At what stage do you recommend to replace them? Like how much oil leakage etc. And is it worth to replace parts on the Axle, or do a full replacement?
Usually cheaper and easier to replace the whole assembly. If you catch it early, say just a torn boot, you could replace the boot. If you have noise, lots of grease slung out of the joint, or dirt/contamination in the joint, I'd advise replacement.
Lower strut bolts (to knuckle), is it 129 ft lbs of torque or 112 ft lbs? Can't find anything definitive searching on Google.
I changed axles on my Subaru but I've got vibration on low speed. Looks like aftermarket one's are not the same as OEM parts.
Hi MrSubaru, I am in the process of replace the LGT inner boot, the axle boot finally failed after 12 years. Should I replace the axle or just the boot? OE axle cost nearly 400 compare to the one you have in video...any concern for remanufactured axle?
I buy reman axles from my Subaru dealership. The run about $140 or so. I never reboot them.
Can I leave it rear wheel drive?
Loving this Gen 4 stuff man keep it up!
+BookandRegan you're welcome 👍
MrSubaru1387 No worries man! I have a 05' b spec H6 sedan 6sp so anything that gen I will lap up! Love your vids keep it going dude
Awesome. I wish the US market got a manual option for the H6... :..(
Oh I wasnt aware it wasnt offered over there. That sucks!
+BookandRegan yup. We always get the short end of the stick, so to say. Didn't get the WRX until 02. Didn't get the STi till 04. No turbo Liberty/ Legacy until 05 with the EJ255. No GT-B or RS Liberty/ Legacy. The Spec.B we got was just an EJ255, no EZ30R or EZ36R variants.
THE best Subaru videos!!. .
+Dan D thank you
Hey Mr. If I just had an alignment done would doing my brakes put them out of alignment? Probably a dumb question but just was wondering
+Mr.L.A. Nope. You're good to do your brakes post alignment.
MrSubaru1387 I hope I'm not annoying you dude with all these questions I'm just trying to learn this things
+Mr.L.A. You're good. 👍
MrSubaru1387 thanks 🤝
Do you need to disconnect the ground cable from the battery to replace the CV axle?
+bedard simon no, but the service manual recommends also disconnecting the battery before performing any work on the vehicle. Do I? No.
Doing this right now for my Impreza but the 'hit the spindle with the hammer to drop-out the tie-rod' has me stuck...literally. Any tips to free up the tie-rod end, or just keep hammering away at the side?
Just hammer the side. Definitely don't hammer down on the threaded end. You'll ruin the threads.
Thanks for an excellent video , can u provide the part number please i have an 05 legacy sedan manual transmission thanks in advance
I'm having trouble with the axle in the rear, it won't go in all the way into the differential. Anyone know what's going on?
Sits 3-4 inches out
They look good.
+mannyman thanks
Hey, just curious... and please don't take my questions as criticism, I'm just trying to learn... why didn't you just take the whole break caliper, brakes, and caliper bracket off at one time? Is it too hard to hang that way?
Hola , me gustaría saber cómo remplazo las botas eje trasmisión Subaru sambar ks4
Great video, Is the process more or less the same for a 2010 Legacy GT?
Thank you
Have a video on 2010-2014 chassis.
@@MrSubaru1387 Awesome, thank you!!
Would this be the same procedure for a 2006 Tribeca
+sirccx3 should be quite similar.
Good work. what state are you in? I have 2008 Outback, I like to do timing water pump, oil pan gasket and and front and rear wheel bearing. Thanks.
+Magnus Dike South Carolina
Thank you.
We have a 2000 Outback Legacy. Its the only car we have, I wish I could afford genuine Subaru parts but I cannot. Just the same your videos are an enormous help to us, Thank You. Is the front axle change out the same as the 2005?
Thanks again....
th-cam.com/video/jtZMwaCCMdU/w-d-xo.html this is on my 2002 Outback. Should be identical to this video. 👍
Hey Mr Subaru u know a good salvage yard in SC or a website where I can pick up a good set of used axles for 05 - 09 outback/legacy. Nice video, keep them coming.👍
LKQ or Pull-a-part are my go to places.
Any chance you will do a head gasket replacement video on a 3rd gen Subie anytime in the future?? I've got an '07 that will need one soon. :/
Uriah I've got a 05 with 200000+ miles and still haven't had to do it yet.
Do you know if these axles share part numbers across the board for the na/turbo models? I’m about to replace both fronts on my 05 leg gt 5spd manual. Autozone has 3 or 4 different numbers. They also show 25/25 and 25/27 splines on these. Any suggestions? I think mine uses 25 trans splines and 27 hub? Thanks
I can't say for sure. I do know that I pulled a front axle from a 2005 LGT auto sedan and put it in a 2005 Legacy 2.5i Limited with a 5 speed manual without issue. Axles were identical.
MrSubaru1387..,roger that, I know from my wrx days between the 02-05s, they had a bunch of crazy differences with the male and female inner stubs up front and I think even different splines on the 5x114 sti hubs. Seems like the legacy’s were a bit more standardized.
Hey quick question, my 04 forester is giving me a code for loose fuel cap, what might that be? I already changed the purge valve and replace acouple cracked hoses by the valve.
Have you checked the gas cap gasket?
@@MrSubaru1387 honestly didnt even know there was one i will check into that
Which front jack point are you using in this vid? Thx!
+VideoNOLA center of the crossmember.
I dont have an air hammer, am I able to heat the hub then got at it with a hammer or are there rubber seals in the hub that cud get damaged?
You can damage the wheel bearing and seals. Soak with penetrating fluid, strike with a hammer and punch in the center divot.
@@MrSubaru1387 thats what I figured, thanks for the advice :)
Isn't the torque spec for the lug nuts 89 ft/lbs?
hey bud. what size bolts do you use to remove the rotor?
+john mastr honestly can't remember. I'd guess it's an m8x1.5 or close to it.
Hello, I bought a remanufactured CV from Subaru, cheeper than the new OEl, why didn't you go that route?
I did on my 2014 Outback.
Caution: just did this job and a tension spring from inside the diff seal popped out and got crimped while removing the old axle. It might be smart to have a new seal kit on hand when doing this job. I have an 07 legacy 2.5i sedan with 196k on it. The seal kit is $20 on Amazon. Good luck everyone!
Probably should have turned rotors and replaced pads...if not, would not be necessary to remove to remove cv shaft....
hey buddy got another question for ya .....i just took my caliper slide pins out on my 2000 obs and can't remember which one goes on top and bottom one of the pins has a small black rubber grommet please help
Checked the service manual, the diagrams don't differentiate which is where. I honestly don't believe it matters. If I had to guess, I'd say rubber grommet pin to the top.
thank you
+Mr.L.A. You're welcome. 👍
My 02 legacy had that style cv axel come out of the driver's side. Looks nothing like the replacement one for my year legacy
Just to follow up...when I popped the cv axle out of my legacy the inner shaft came out also...stuck roll pin was the culprit...live and learn.😆
7:51 Do these cars have axle seals up front? Or is it that tin plate on the CV that holds in the gear oil? I’ve been dying to know the answer to this! Thanks 🙏
There are axle seals.
@@MrSubaru1387 thanks. Ur the man
Hey man, got a question. Pulled my diff and seals look like ass and want to replace them. Was looking for one of your vids to check it out. It's a r160 Sti diff and need to change out the dust seals for the axels. Advice or a vid you've done for that? I ordered factory Subaru seals and they should be here mid week.
No video on the rear diff side seal yet. They pull out and press in pretty straight forward with the axles removed. Similar to this transmission output shaft seal - th-cam.com/video/p2VcK2hoLe8/w-d-xo.html. Here's a link to a FSM - jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/Impreza/2005/2005%20Service%20Manual%20EU.pdf. Open in Adobe. Hit the bookmarks tab, select chassis section, differentials, rear differential side oil seal, replacement. Hope this helps.
MrSubaru1387 this is why I love your stuff. Always ready to help out. You’re the best!
You're welcome!
I’m trying to buy new front axles for my 2003 wrx does anyone have a reliable and trustworthy website that I could use to buy?
Please don't be upset by my questions. I have an Automatic 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i hatchback, and would like to know if this video would be the same for me to replace both front wheel CV's? I looked through the comments and saw people mention generations, but I am not familiar enough to know. This is my 1st Subaru.
If this video is not like my car, do you have a video for it?
Thank you for the video and time reading my question.
The Impreza's suspension/drivetrain is nearly identical to the Legacy/Outback. This guide should be sufficient to help you get the job done.
Thank you very much for your response.
You're welcome. 👍
do you know the torque spec to the 2 bolts that hold down the caliper bracket to the knuckle on my 2000 obs?
+Mr.L.A. 78Nm or 58Ft.Lbs.
thank you my bearded friend👍👍
Mr.L.A. You're welcome 👍
Why did you remove the caliper and rotor ?
+adnan alsaffar why wouldn't I?
LSWL00 I do the same, pop the ball joint out and swing everything out of the way. So much faster!
I suposed that"s the best idea,I must remove the broken raber cover in my Forester ,(sorry for my english),very nice job.I"m think that MRSubaru had to show how to do sometjing more :)
@LSWL00 true that. I left the brake caliper installed
You are a Snap-on legend...
