oh man ,years passing by ,I think this is the time for you to relax ,,,you are getting older and not faster as before ..great job
Got an 04 Forester. Looking at trying this soon. Thank God for guys like you helping the shade tree mechanics out
Thanks for the kind words. I Appreciate it. Thats a hard job but with the right tools you can get it done.
What a great video… looked everywhere to find out if I could get this hub & bearing in one piece for my Subaru Impreza but I couldn’t until I found your video showing how its done … true legend
Thanks Daniel
Little tip when you do these Subaru bearings to seat the race completely use the old race from the old bearing. It will not get stuck just tap it with a hammer and it'll fall right out.
That’s how I did it 👍
Man it must be nice to work on none rusty cars. That big bolt can be an all day event.
I have heard that. I did both sides on that car and they came right out. I did soak them in pb blaster because I was told they are a fight. I hate rusty cars and glad I live in the south because of that LOL. That hub was a pain to get out with the slide hammer. Got to find a better way
I JUST DID PNE THAT WAS RUSTED SO BAD IT WELDED THE BOLT TO THE BUSHING INSERTS, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM OUT IS BURN THE BUSHINGS OUT WITH A TOURCH AND REPLACE BUSHINGS, ,

I had a nasty one on mine. I will tell you a big secret that works a treat. Get a HONDA crank bolt socket. lisle makes it 19mm. Weights 2-3lbs. Heat the sections that are covered with the hubs. The end nut as well. Spray with deep creep .cordless Milwaukee impact (1400ftlb model) i had both mine out in under an hour. That was a coastal vehicle. Replace and spray with fluid film.
Laughs in heavy duty diesel..
Just finished one of these. The long bolt doesn't get stuck in the knuckle too much, it's the control arm bushings that get seized, solid. I ended up cutting the bolt & drilling out the bushing collars for the new bolt. An air hammer/chisel comes in handy. Otherwise can be done with a minimum of tools, such as a few large sockets, some wooden blocks and a mini sledge hammer. Just be sure to take some sandpaper or scotch brite to the inside of the knuckle and outside of the hub so the bearing will slide on easier. And don't forget the backing plate before you get the bearing and hub on. Even if you buy the preassembled knuckle you'll still have to deal with the worst part, the long bolt.
Thanks for the video. We were also at that last Atlanta race. Hope they build another Atlanta track soon.
Nice man lookin to do my 07 soon!
Forgot to put the seal on front of the front of bearing
must be nice to work on cars with no rust...that bolt came out way to easy compared too most subie"s around where I live..I'm getting ready to do the same thing on a 2000 rs
good video
Oh we get those rusty cars from up north. They send them to auction and used car lots buy them up cheap and resell to suckers.

Why did the hub need to be replaced?
Just did this on my 2002, and packed the bearing. However, now it’s getting hot. Torqued it to 134 like I read on a Subaru forum. Any suggestions?
How hot? You must have got it to tight. Might have to start over if you smoked the bearing
I kept going back and forth and cannot see where you installed the seal on the hub..? There are three seals on the rear and two on the front wheels.
Are you looking for advise on seal installation ? or just asking why I didn't press record during that step?
Man I’ve been fighting that long bolt with torches and and air hammer for 3 hours I have no idea how yours came out like that
Both sides came right out. That's the only one I have done and I know others have had problems as well. My guess is salt or a lot of dirt and rust in there. Soak it with pb blaster
@@HotRodDave I soaked it overnight and came back the next day working that thing for hours. It got stuck in the rear trailing arm bushing so I undid the other end of the trailing arm and slid it out with the bolt stuck in it haha
@@nick10campbell Dang that sucks. That kinda stuff is what will kill you trying to make a living working on cars.
What's the usual labor hours for something like this? I'm being quoted 2.4 hours to install a SKF rear wheel bearing and hub assembly
I really don't know what shops are charging these days. 2.4 sounds fair
Like the video man. Hey I have a 2006, and I see online they have a new knuckle and wheel bearing assembly. Wouldn't that be way easier to install than screwing around with just the wheel bearing?
Thanks. Sounds like it would save a bunch of time and headache to me.
@@HotRodDave yeah that’s what I was thinking. The knuckle and wheel bearing assembly costs more, but if it saves me time and headache it’s worth it. But that slide hammer did look like fun the first couple of hits😀
@fulltimeparttimepicker8946 OH Yeah it's a blast
Are those two wheel bearing seals the same?
I don't 100% remember that was several months ago. I think it had 2 different seals in the back. If you look up a parts explosion online or call a Subaru dealer parts department they can tell you what you will need.
you are lucky not to have a rusty car, it gets pretty bad around here.(northeast)
What brand bearings did you go with?
I don't remember. I may have said in the video but that was a few years ago when I made that repair.
@HotRodDave Okay. I went with the Timkin brand from Rockauto. A year later and they're already grinding 🙄😒.
@@Appalachianpyro Oh that's not good. Timkin is usually the brand you want but I have heard they are not as good as they once were. Like pretty much everything. That's not an easy repair even if everything goes well. I would hope they will warranty them for you . I like to buy local for that very reason. I don't like shipping back on my dime.
It's the rust prone salty areas where that bolt is a bitch.
Hello, no le puso el seal.
Aren't you supposed to just remove the carrier and press out the bearing? No slide hammers, beating or makeshift pullers...
You definitely can if you don't have the tools to save time.

Way to long n you dont show the work really at all...
Okay thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the video. We were also at that last Atlanta race. Hope they build another Atlanta track soon.
I hope so
