Instead of taking apart the outer joint (which requires a bit more work than the inner joint) I slid the outer boot across the axle from where the inner joint is removed and cleaned up most of the grease there
Is redline cv joint grease good or is it necessary to get the grease from subaru? Also is it necessary to get clamps from subaru or the amazon hose/axle clamps are fine?
I’d say the most important thing to get from subaru are the boots, they are just of a better quality and fit. for the grease it’s nice to have them in a pre filled packet with the right quantity. But I suppose redline cv grease does the trick as well, be sure to clean all the grey/greenish grease out ;). For hose clamps you could do whatever works for you. As long as they’re tight!
@@MBodegom so i have to clean out the grease that was already in there before using the redline grease? I m still a beginner, so dont mind me asking, how do i clean up everybit of grease from the joint as i dont have an air tool?
@@MBodegom i have another question about that little snap ring that locks the inner joint. When i went to remove it, felt like it was damaged. Can i use an aftermarket harbor freight brand snap ring of the same size or does that have to be from subaru as well?
Does the outer joint come apart the same way as the inner joint? You completely skipped that part

@@xvdmrecords Use a lot of brake parts cleaner and degreaser, that'll probably do the trick!
