Brian. Great video. Never hit the inner race of a bearing to seat it unless it is the inner race that is press fit onto a shaft. Doing so transmits the impact load through the inner race through the ball bearing surfaces to the outer race surface. This can damage the bearing balls and surfaces. Your socket probably touches the outer race most so I would bet that this will work most of the time; but why take the chance. A socket, like you say slightly smaller that contacts only the outer race would be correct. Also, put the new bearing in after machining the wheel. Your videos are great and very informative.

I did mine while I had the motor out for blown head gaskets. You can get a kit with a new flywheel for about $100 extra. That's not much more cost than having it turned and you don't have to wait on the machine shop. I'd also suggest replacing the bushings in the shifter u-joint while the trans it out. If they're not shot now they will be soon. Thanks for posting Brian!

It's so hard to get there, I would be tempted to replace it now rather than risking the chance you may have to go back another day. Or, is it just another thing that could go wrong, better to not mess with it....

... One vital step you forgot to mention... Remove the clutch fork to separate the bell housings... Otherwise it won't happen. Requires a 10mm Allen and long 10mm bolt to thread into the shaft and slide it out.. Took me an hour before I tried it cuz it felt held on. It worked.

Also no clutch pin on my '06 WRX. I guess it's a push design, not pull. I would suggest people look for the allen/hex plug on the driver's side of the gear box if they don't know for sure, because ya you can end up yanking on it forever without it separating.

Great videos though!!

Subis look to be a bugger to work of. You've salted road induced rust to deal with as well in UT. I have shifted all my life and for that reason am clutch-less at this point in time. One less thing to worry about replacing. I'd show a picture of my new (old) car with it's Tiptronic but everyone would just laugh and say, "that's no sports car." Guess what? For an old timer, it just about completes my bucket list.

I would think the reason the clutch wasn't fully disengaging would be because of the broken fingers in the pressure plate and not the throw out bearing. Also The motor comes out so easy that I would do that method to avoid needing an alignment after. I love you videos though. I have learned a lot from you about subarus.

Brian, the video was incredibly helpful! My son and I practically memorized most of it, including the one-liners. BUT, when putting the starter back on, we did not have the bracket on the bolt. So... we cranked down too far and when we realized our mistake and took the bolt back loose, there was coolant. What have we done?!? I realize you may not have time to reply to this, but I thought that you might have a minute, or one of your other fans might be able to give me some info.

I almost would recommend changing those seals/gaskets behind the flywheel. Although they're not leaking, I know you know how Subaru Boxster engines have a tendency to blow head gaskets, and in the event that does happen, you may have to go back in and deal with that at some point.

@Eastahtata 10 жыл бұрын

I would not install the bearing until you had the flywheel resurfaced. They usually have to knock the bearing out to seat the flywheel on the machine, and I doubt they will take note of your new shiny bearing and attempt to remove it carefully.

I am working on a 94 Impreza and I changed out the bearing and used high temp grease in the spindle, is that fine? The local parts store guy told me it'd be just fine. They don't stock anything special for such an application. Also, should I use any grease/ anti-seize / loc-tite on the studs and bolt threads when re-attaching the trans? Any idea where I could find torque specs for the various bolts, don't have a manual and don't know where to get one :( Any help would be really appreciated. Again great vid! Keep it up!!!

I've been shifting it up, down and side to side with the jack and just with just my brute strength with no headway. PLEASE HELP I need my car back. Thank you.

Power tools sure make it easy. At least you did not have any bolts that break off just flush with the block, or that come out with a nice aluminium thread as well. Can be a real pain to recoil some of those or to drill the bolt to get the extractor into it. So much for the Ridgid "lifetime guarantee", you have to buy a new set when you break them. Normally the smaller ones break, but there even half a tool is still useful, at least until you have it so small it does not fit the sleeve any more.

Should have access with the turbo heat shield off. Being patient and pre-soaking/lubing rusty fastners up and going back and forth in and out first is a must on some of these bolts. Seems like extra work, but saves so much time in drilling and sourcing new bolts. Best of luck!
