How tight?

@@nathanallen9303 it can be looked up on the internet

@@nathanallen9303 Hub bolts 65Nm, axle nut 220Nm

That bearing is toast. Do the job right with oem he says lol

exactly and never use an impact wrench to tighten up the lug nuts as they also have a torque spec, that is the biggest mistake most mechanics do, Tighten to a particular point with the impact gun then finish off with the torque wrench. ALWAYS.

It would never come out that easy in Wisconsin or any other salt belt state

I AGREE - THANK YOU VERY MUCH - A REAL PRO

It is a good idea but you must be very careful removing this expensive part.

Yes, especially if you have to use a hub buster or equivalent. Found this out the hard way when I destroyed my sensor while separating the hub from the knuckle.

Dont worry it was all done. There is allot of stuff happening behind the scenes

Most likely- wife's 17 forester was 32 - assuming my impreza will also be a 32 hahahah

It’s just a impact wrench with a 32mm/1.5in socket. You can find cheap impacts at pretty much any hardware or automotive store you go to

Crap tons of penetrating oil. Do it once a week for about a month before even trying. I live in central NY where everything is rusted. The hardest part will be saving the backing plate

TRUE

I been using a maul for two days on my imprezza it feels like its welded on!@@lawrencegaudette4747

My 2013 XV hub was so rusted after 1 hour of beating the crap out of the hub trying to loosen it, I gave up and took a chance on a Craigslist mechanic. After an hour of banging he took apart the whole wheel assembly out so he can beat on it from the back. It took him total of 3 hours to complete the job. I gave him more than the $125/hub he quoted me. I don't know what is wrong with Subaru's engineers as their wheel hubs have had a history of going bad quick. Mine also went out at around 65k miles.

@@jackbloznowski5429 My son is needing his 5th wheel bearing done on 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. I think one of them is the 3rd time.

Mike H. I used a non-OEM bearing hoping it will last. Then there is the issue with bad struts in the rear. I am replacing them with Rallitek springs and Bilstein shocks. The rear is bouncing all over the place when hitting a bump.

I came here to try and find out the torque spec for the bolts that holds the hub bearing. Would you know?

@@phizz8694 You need that spec. for your specific model vehicle. It could be anywhere from about 160 to 180 ft/lbs or maybe even more! DO NOT GUESS or assume that the highest is better than nothing. I would NOT go by what a KZfaq video tells you UNLESS it is a video by someone like MrSubaru who has a KZfaq channel and he has a video showing him doing that repair on your exact car model. There are a lot of these types of videos posted on KZfaq by people that, to an inexperienced "Do It Yourselfer", look like the person doing the video knows what he's doing but either they don't know what they're doing or they leave necessary information out which is exactly the problem with this video. Using correct torque specifications is VERY important. MrSubaru is a certified Subaru mechanic who does great repair videos and while he doesn't have the time to answer specific questions like yours, he does give the torque requirements for each nut and bolt on the specific vehicle in each video. A good and inexpensive resource for those who want to do their own repairs is a Chiltons or Haynes repair manual for your model vehicle. It will give you the manufacturers recommended torque specs for each fastener. Get one of those repair manuals. They are worth every cent and they're not expensive. Ebay or Amazon has them.

@@phizz8694 The 4 hub bolts 65Nm Axle nut 220Nm 2 caliper bracket bolts 80Nm

I would go with oem

mix 50:50 acetone and ATF in a bottle, and use that as a penetrant. Works way better than anything you can buy, including kroil. There must be some environmental reason that it can't be sold, maybe due to the acetone. Many tests have been done and its the best.

I feel your pain. Nothing on a car should stay together when it's hit with an 8lbs sledge hamme, but here I am writing this comment.

I used an air chisel

Yes i will upload it in next few days.

For a free factory service manual go to jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/ It will have all the tightening torques you need. Just navigate to your vehicle through the website.

I worked in a Toyota dealer for 6 years no one ever torqued an axle nut. Impact gun for everything. Time is money in the auto mechanic field.

4agte16 that’s exactly why I like to do my own work on a car if I have the tools to do it. Impact gun on a wheel hub nut you have no clue what sort of torque you are putting on the bearing. Of all components this is one to torque or at least hand tight with socket and wrench.

@@paddyirskman2447 YES...after watching the way things are done over the years and struggling with a total lack of care for vehicles by dealerships, inflating prices, intentionally overtightening lug nuts, oil filters, drain plugs, damage due to carelessness or even ignorance, and then charging for the repairs for damage done by the techs, WHO NEEDS THE HASSLES

@@4agte16 Makes sense. Overtightening virtually guarantees that the new bearing will wear prematurely due to overheating, so win-win for the dealership. $$$

Believe I found it. 158 ft. Lb

YES, this repair is actually not just the bearing but the entire bearing hub is replaced

Theyre on all 4. Its needed to read the wheel speed, also used for abs, traction control... bunch of stuff

Not unless you remove the tie rod ends. Which you won't need to

Any luck finding the part number or OEM brand? I was going to purchase AC Delco but can't find it in stock..

@@jonlon7488 I found it on Amazon and everything worked out great. Not too difficult to replace either. It was about $125 and this is the item description: "SUBARU 28373FG000 Hub Complete Front Axle"

Its probably that magnetic circle on the back. Did the new one have that magnet ?

I've had to replace 3 so far, My mechanic just let me know that there is a bulletin (search "Bulletin Number: 05-70-19") where the backing plate is uneven and caused my bearing to go early. Might be something to replace.

holy smokes, my dealer did my rear ones with brakes for 800

Late I know, but it sounds too high. I just did my 2014 Forester Rear Driver side and it took 3 hours going very slowly. Maybe a two hour job at shop. No rust here in Southern CA so that helped. If rusted on the bearing could be a nightmare. BTW the axle nut and bolts should be Torqued.

Can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid

@@jima3129 Hi, I replaced my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek wheel bearing ( left front ) then I did test drive. Looks everything okey after that ABS light traction control and hill assist light on. Also Engine light on to engine code is p0500 ABS code is C1222 I changed wheel bearing again ( moog brand ) nothing happen then I changed ABS sensor still same... I didn't figure out ! Do you have any idea ? thank you

I have had good luck with Moog bearings- and they are probably made a bit better. Using it in the rears on a forester and Impreza.

richie mack that’s when u smack the piss out of it lol 5 days later so I assume u got it done?!

It all depends where you live. Hard winter months, salt and rust play a role on removing those Hubs.

did you see how new everything looks? i just looks dusty.

Ahahah.. i know someone like u.. thanks to this video, my customer are statisfied
