What are my missing here whenever I do this job on my Subarus I don't take the caliper off I just take the two bolts off the caliper mounting bracket and remove that all is one assembly I have not noticed any issues doing it this way it saves time oil knuckles and seems to work fine. I just want to encourage everybody to do what he did here and that is make sure you tie your caliper parts up because in the upcoming steps there are quite a bit of vibrations that will knock it down if you just balance it somewhere and then you run the real risk of breaking that hose I always use a coat hanger or piece of aluminum grounding wire I have, his chalkboard works fine.

Just for some extra advice. Ive replaced CV axles before and the slightest touch of force from anything can dent those spline on the axle. My only advice would be to not let it drop down and hit the knuckle after you get the assembly off. Just be careful so you arent back in there a second time.

New style bolt-on wheel bearings come as a unit with the hub. The old style pressed-in bearings were much more effort to replace, and came with the bearing only. With both, watch out for the ABS sensor and be sure the axle slides freely inside the hub. Otherwise the CV axle and/or the ABS sensor could be damaged as the hub is removed.
