comments on DIY rear wheel bearing replacement
I found the Guru guide on here on how to replace this.
I'am looking for additional comments on what to look for or must do "first" for this kind of job. I did the front on a Toyota before with someone and I'am ok confident in doing the rear of my car by myself. The parts I have so far -wheel bearing -2 inner seals -1 outer seals -Snap ring -axle nut ( do I need a new one, did not buy it yet) Anything will be good guys Thanks

There's a post over in the suspension forum that contains a link to a PDF from Subaru on how to do the rear bearings with the correct (i.e., Subaru approved) tools that you'll want to read up on. User 'Uncle Scotty' posted the link, you can search for his name, or just browse the thread (it's not very long).
The title of the thread is something like "3rd wheel bearing in [blah] months" ... it's on the 1st page (even on n00b settings). |

bolt wheel on, put car on ground, loosen nut.
Search for the DIY "Hub shark" as well. Works like a charm |

going to take it to school to get it pressed, hope I can put everything back together again because the handbrake line was in my way and I took everything apart. |
