There’s many videos on Subaru rear wheel bearing replacements out there. But yours is honestly the best one I see explaining everything on doing this properly and avoiding damage to these parts. Very well done! 👍🏻

The most detailed wheel bearing installation video I have seen so far! I'm surprised that has not gotten more likes. He goes very much in depth in regards to the seals which are detrimental to successful installation

you have the most complete and thorough demonstration and explanation of replacing these bearings I have seen so far.

I never post but you saved me alot of time and research, thank you for the knowledge.

I just finished this job today installing my very first rear wheel bearing on my ‘01 Forester. It took a long time because it was also a learning process for me. If I may say something/give some advice to those attempting this job: (do not use woods, metals or anything to hold/brace the spindle plate). Do not put any stress on it. The plate is strong, but it’s not designed to withstand the force of a press when pushing out/pressing in a bearing. Bearing pressing kit tools should seat/put the pressure on the spindle, hub and bearing itself only. I almost ended up bending my spindle plate and with a bent ABS sensor hole, good thing I noticed it right away. This was a great video. Good luck!

That knuckle looks relatively clean considering. I'm quite sure it wouldn't look as clean when repeatedly exposed to Autumn and Winter seasons. This is the most complete video on wheel bearing replacement. Awesome

Thank you for this! I’m working on my 99 Impreza and just pressed the hub and couldn’t remember which way the inner seal went back in because of the diagram!! Thank you!!

Ein wirklich top Video und sehr ausführlich erklärt. Alle anderen Videos hier im Netz sind nicht zu gebrauchen. Hab dank Deiner ausführlichen Anleitung nur ganze 30 Minuten zum Wechsel des Radlagers am Subaru gebraucht. Ich sag Danke :)

Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of how you use the old bearing race to push in the new!

This video has surprisingly good camera angles and lighting, showing the process in better detail than all the videos I've seen done by professional mechanics. Those guys usually do the procedure on the car with a slide hammer or hub tamer to save time and avoid a wheel alignment. It's easy to see why these old style pressed-in bearings usually grenade as they are removed, since you can't reach the snap ring until the hub is off. Your video nicely shows how the snap ring retains the outer race, and corrosion of the hub holds the inner race, so the two bearings inside are torn apart as the hub come off. I have one suggestion for close focus. Make sure you're zoomed to your widest angle when trying to see something small and close. It's very tempting to zoom the lens to magnify, but as you zoom the minimal focus distance for any lens will always increase. Better to stay wide and move the camera as close as you can. Excellent video!

This is the exact video I needed! Thank you thank you!

This is my second time watching this video and the level of detail is really amazing. Good job 10/10!!

Very good video. I’m just about to tackle this job and your tips and tricks are very helpful, thanks.

Thanks bro will help me at work tomorrow morning haha 👌🏻

Best bearing guide.. Thank you.!

Very very well explained video. Thanks

I thought it would be simple,i ordered all parts,,,ugh,,it's going to a shop,awesome video,thanx

very happy with this. thank you dude!!!!!!

thanks a bunch for showing how to set up the awkward spindle in the press on install of new bearing. also.. try a bearing separator for the stuck old bearing on the hub.

I was going to replace my left rear wheel bearing today but the axlel was stuck in the hub. Any ideas on how to get the axle out? It's not a salt-belt car

very informative

How did you get the diagram? Does it come with the new wheel bearing or do you search online? Does anyone know?

is it not the other way around? hub being the housing and the spindle being the bearing area?

I pressed a LF bearing in my 04 wrx and I'm pretty sure I forgot the c clip and pressed the bearing in too far. Now the inside rotor face is grinding against the caliper.

I have a 2006 outback Impreza. I’m in the middle of pressing my bearing out. For some reason, the outer race is the only thing left in the knuckle. Does anyone know the spacer size to remove the outer race?

Pretty straight foward and to the point. Good job bro🙏

I think you made the best video out there on Subaru rear bearing replacement, for that particular vintage. Your description of the process and parts involved is magnificent. Regarding the bearing itself is that a seal on it, or is it factory grease, at 16:54... did you perhaps pack it yourself? There is some controversy regarding the need to pack Subaru OEM bearings. You seem knowledgeable, what is your take on it. I suffered multiple rear bearing failures and would appreciate any info that could prevent such.

When did/does that plastic piece come out?

When I tighten the axle nut, its hard to turn around the hub? Anyone has some tips?

Is it common for the axle to rust heavily? Mine destroyed the new seal from how badly it was rusted. I have to get a new axle and seals

Great video! Im trying to find a video on how to take off the entire knuckle assembly, You know of one by chance? Or some step by step on how you got yours off? (i own a 04 wrx)

Check out other people's videos. This one is good for explaining how thing goes together and comes apart. Job can be done without complete removal.

Thanks bro

Ommghh hoowww do I remove itt

hi, would a worn bearing give me a grinding noise whilst driving that gets worse when i go round corners? I sometimes get a clicking sound too

How did you get your ABS sensor off? I took off the bolt and mine wont budge.

Isn't it easier to buy whole assembly without the fuss

Where is the rust?

Hopefully my life is in order to.allow me a good time getting the Jesus Bolt out

Man i have been spoiled with my volvo. Fuck this noise.
