Wheel Bearing Project
Since we all know Subarus have Jell-O for wheel bearings, I thought I should post my experience with replacing all 4 of my wheel bearings on my 1991 Legacy AWD. It was a difficult, expensive, and frustrating project, but I finally finished it and am happy with the results.
Warning 1: There are plenty of pics, so 56k be warned Warning 2: There is some colorful language in this thread, all mine http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=21223

If you ONLY replace wheel bearings, it will be a lot cheaper and quicker than my project too. I also replaced my struts, replaced my outer tie-rod ends, replaced all my wheelstuds, fixed my loose tranny crossmember, rebuilt my parking brake, etc. etc. |

I liked the part about you beating the back of your car... I've felt like that when working on my car before, although I could never ever bring myself to do it.
ps... Air tools make work much easier, but if you have an abundant amount of rust, air tools usually won't do you any good... I hate doing wheel bearings on cars that come from places like Maine, Minnesota, New York... Everything ends up fusing together... blech. |
