This is the shorter and more concise version of these steps, though it still includes the full process to change a bearing. I made this version for those who are more mechanically experienced or want to save time. For a longer, more detailed version, please view the video at this link:
• How To Replace Subaru ...
I decided to make this tutorial because I could not find a detailed video of the process on KZfaq for this type of bearing replacement. Any video I found typically involved removing the entire knuckle from the car and placing it in a hydraulic press. Many videos also show incorrect procedures which may damage this type of bearing.
I attempted to address all these issues by showing how to do this job without a hydraulic press or removing major components from the car. This also means no suspension components are affected and alignment will not change. This is also the cheapest way to change a press in bearing correctly, as the tools needed can be had for around $150.
The car in this video is a 1993 Subaru Impreza. However, this procedure works for many cars from most brands. Especially smaller vehicles from Japanese manufacturers. Even if you have a different car, many of the steps in this video may still apply. Always check the proper procedures for your vehicle, including torque specs. If you have ABS, remember you may need to remove the sensor!

*INSTALLATION NOTE:* While this procedure works, I advise installing the large outer race in the knuckle, putting both inner races with bearings in place, installing the outer seal, then pressing the hub through the entire assembly. This lets you make sure the outer seal is fully seated. Please let me know if you have any issues. Thank you! Please read the full description to get the most out of the information provided. This is the shorter version of this tutorial which I was able to cut down by over 25 minutes to save you time while still including the complete repair.

@802Garage 5 жыл бұрын

If you have a shop that will do it for $20 and it's nearby, by all means! For a lot people you won't find a shop to do it for less than a half hour rate or they just don't bother. Part of why I made this vid is so many others said to take it to a shop. The advantage here too for the front specifically is not worrying about disrupting the alignment. I also just like to do my own work and I have had a shop screw up a bearing pressing before. I hear you on the knees and back though, even if I'm still fairly young, it's a pain. Will be a lot less up and down when I get a lift! Appreciate the view and comment. :)

Helped me a bunch on my 99 Subaru Legacy Outback. Rented the tools from Autozone and bought a new hub / bearing & seals at O'rileys. Took 2-3 hours. Total cost $120 and some change. Could have saved money if I reused the hub but I didn't have a way of getting the old bearing off so I decided it would be easier to replace that too. Oh and the tool rentals were $260 but I got that back when I returned them. Was much easier then I had thought. Thank you very much.!

@802Garage 6 жыл бұрын

Really glad to help! My method for getting the race off the old hub now is to use a Dremel with a cutting wheel to cut a slit, then just use any metal chisel to get it to crack and slide it off. It's surprisingly easy. It's definitely a job you can save a ton of money on by doing it yourself. The tools I have linked only amount to about $150-200 if you plan on doing it a lot in the future. Hope it lasts for you! Save even more if you buy the parts on Rock Auto and Amazon. All told doing a front bearing on this car probably cost me $60 or so.

No problem! Did you already do the job? One last thing I wish I had covered in this is that you can press the hub through both inner races at the same time with the outer seal already in place, so you know it is fully seated. This is actually how you have to do it for rear wheel bearings. Otherwise it can be difficult to get the outer seal fully seated with this procedure. Thanks for the comment and hope your car is well!

@geekazoid 5 жыл бұрын

I have a tip for you pressing the inner race onto the hub. Take the race from the old hub and grind it out from the inside using a drill press and a stone point or grinding wheel. Just bring the table up so you can slide the race around the spinning tool easily. Make sure it has a good gap before you try fitting that on the hub spindle or it will get stuck.

@802Garage 5 жыл бұрын

Great idea! Almost exactly what I did actually. I just happened to have an old race for another vehicle around that was slightly larger. For everyone else doing this though, that should work well.

Ugh, those calipers just love to stick don't they! Suck a pain to diagnose and then typically end up replacing. This is quite a big job, but if you are methodical it's not too easy to mess up. The last part is the scariest, you really want everything pressed fully together. It will definitely save you a lot of time though just to have a shop press it out and in. If you feel up to it you can always remove the entire knuckle instead and bring it somewhere. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@802Garage 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah $40 isn't too bad if you could do the knuckle removal and all yourself. Some people want to charge more which is ridiculous. Personally I've had great results doing it myself and both bearings on this car are still going many tens of thousands of miles later after I changed them. Plus this way it doesn't change alignment. I totally hear you though, def a job it can be worthy paying a bit to have someone do. Thanks for the comment!

@802Garage 4 жыл бұрын

Fantastic to hear it! Thanks for the comment. A bearing splitter is the preferred tool for removing the race really. I had bought one to make this video, but it was too small and the larger ones were pricey. You actually want the race to crack, becomes much easier to remove. I prefer to use a Dremel with a cutting wheel now. Make a very fine slit almost all the way down to the hub, smack with a chisel to crack it, and then it comes off easy. Hope the bearing lasts you a long time!

About to take the plunge and change out the hub. Bearing change is a given since I have to change the hub. initial job was to replace the front CV axle but the axle would not slide out of the hub unit. I used a 3 jaw screw jack puller, then a hydraulic 3 jaw puller, and finally a sledge hammer and that only made it worse by mushrooming the end. Yes, I did have the other end of the shaft removed before I started hammering away and still no joy. I will have to remove the knuckle to disassemble the CV joint then make another attempt to remove the stuck shaft in the hub. If all that fails, I'll just go to a junk yard and get another knuckle and hub assembly. Freezing the Cup (Outer ring) was spot on! Lubricating the mating surfaces was also an excellent tip. Reduces friction and ease of installation. Lubricating the hub OD to the bearing bore also a good tip. I would of used machine tool oil (air tool oil) instead of grease. Less messy and when seating the bearing to the hub shoulder there is less of a chance of grease creating back pressure and the bearing cup and/or cone not being properly seated. I will attempt to heat the bearing cone and roller assembly using an induction heater. I'll use a direct contact temp probe or temp stick to monitor the temperature so as not to over temp the bearing. Since it already comes pre-lubed, the temperature should not affect the grease much. As long as the grease is quality. The Timken bearing you demo does come with quality grease so no issue there. If I didn't get another knuckle, I'll have to reinstall the knuckle and use the side hammer method to remove the hub and bearing from the knuckle. and follow the rest of your tutorial which is excellent. Checking end play on the bearing was critical and glad you showed the what that looked liked by the movement of the hub to the knuckle. Over tighten (preloading) the bearing can also reduce bearing life. Will update post and let you know how it all went

@802Garage 4 жыл бұрын

Ah I'm sorry I meant to reply to this right away! Sometimes those axles get insanely seized like that. Such a pain. I have been lucky to never have one that bad. Always grease your axle splines when you install them so that doesn't happen in the future! Freezing any press fit parts always makes life easier, hah. Machine tool oil would work for lubrication too. The main reason I use grease is actually to make absolutely sure it doesn't rust together in the future. I always plan on doing a job again, since I make my cars last. I do hear you on not wanting to create a hydraulic lock though. In this case I assumed there would be enough room for all the grease to escape and squeeze out. Still a good point though and something to watch out for. Sometimes I'm heavy handed with grease. I really want an induction heater for breaking bolts free, hah. Would be nice for press fit parts too. Just cooling the hub should honestly be enough. I usually find that part of the pressing much easier than pressing in the bearing cup. Usually not much resistance. Also a note on that if you didn't read it in the pinned comment. I recommend putting the outside roller into the knuckle first, installing the outer seal so you know it's flush, putting the rear roller in, and then pressing the hub through both rollers at once. I wish I had shown that method in this video since sometimes the outside seal will be very hard to press in with the hub in the way. I may even make an updated tutorial in the future. Not the end of the world, but obviously we all want a well installed seal for long life! Do let me know if you get yours all sorted out. :)

Use an airgun to turn the hub press bolt it won't hurt the inner hub surface. I use a threaded rod from Home Depot and series of large washers that I've collected over the eyars. Works great.

Yep great DIY solution! Alignments have gone up to $75 minimum in my area so I try to avoid it. I don't mine using an impact to take out the old race, but I definitely prefer using hand tools to press all new bearing components in. Thanks for the comment. :)

I finally got around to replacing my wheel bearing (and CV axle) yesterday. This video helped a ton! I basically followed it to the letter. I do have one issue that I'd like to ask you about. When I got the hub and bearings all pressed back together and gave it a turn, it gives off a slight squealing noise. It doesn't sound horrible, just a little annoying. While driving with the window down it is very quiet and more like a whistle. The Timken bearing I purchased came with both bearing halfs already assemblied inside the outer race. I decided to press the entire thing into the knuckle, which I did. But then I noticed the little protective plastic ring on the very inside, when I went to pull it out both bearings exploded out and landed on the ground. I closely examined them for any contamination or loss of grease, but I think they looked fine, and landed in a mostly clean way. Though maybe this is the reason it makes noise. I then proceeded to press them together separately just as you did. Do you think the noise is much to worry about? Might it cause any damage beyond just having to replace the bearing again? Maybe it'll go away after a bit (like that ever happens...)? I figured the bearings itself are cheap enough I'll just buy a new one if I end up having to redo it. Nice trick for the ball joint. I couldn't find a round end wrench that fit quite right, but that led me to a better solution. I own one of these amzn.to/2ihNafO . The tool itself is not so great, but it does have a nice solid tapered metal handle. I lifted from below the ball joint, hammered it in as a wedge, and then dropped the lift. I was also able to use the old inner race, cut off the hub, to press on the new race, instead of a bigger one that you used. Just make sure you cut it completely and get it spread out a bit so it comes off easy. Thanks!

@802Garage 6 жыл бұрын

Ouch! That's a bummer about the bearings coming out. I should have mentioned the plastic retaining ring in this video. The issue with pressing the entire bearing in with all three pieces together is that you are pressing the outer bearing half into the outer race, which can mar the surface slightly. It's not typically a big issue I think. That said, you could easily have gotten a small piece of debris into the bearing too, which hopefully at some point will stick itself out of the way and not be an issue. As long as the noise gets better and not worse, you should be alright. Just keep an eye one it. At worst you would have to replace the bearing again. It would only cause more damage if you let it get so bad that the bearing locked up or fell apart. Also just make sure there is absolutely no lateral movement in your hub, as that would indicate it wasn't 100% pressed together. Nice job on improvising for the ball joint. Anything sturdy and metal should do. It's a fantastic trick though, can save tons of time and beating on metal. When I used the old race from the hub to try and press on the new one, it just couldn't go in far enough without something else pressing on it. Glad it worked out for you.

@andrewpatton2680 6 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I'm doing it with a press, but the other videos skip over important parts and challenges. Solid job with the video as well. I agree you don't need an alignment if you leave it on the car. That was my plan, but I had to drill out the pincher bolt on the knuckle, so I had to take it off. If you take it off, you can mess up your camber if you don't put your top bolt back to where it was (many people mark it with a metallic pen, I just scratch a line in it).

@802Garage 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, marking it should get you close enough. Bummer about the pinch bolt. Been there multiple times! I have drilled it out on the car. Also had the clamp break due to a long time forming crack once, had to replace the whole knuckle.

@andrewpatton2680 5 жыл бұрын

Well, I did end up replacing the whole knuckle, but in retrospect, I think I could've just drilled a slightly larger hole, and ran a new bolt through it, but I wasn't sure if that would be 100% safe. Drilling it on the car, now that's genius level. Smarter not harder they say ;)

@802Garage 5 жыл бұрын

Well on one way yes, but it also makes drilling harder, especially if you have a drill press. Very commonly people just drill out the old bolt abd put a new bolt in with a nut on the other side. Just have to grind the back side flat a bit for the nut and washer. Ended up having to do it on I think both knuckles in my '93. Plenty safe as long as you don't drill the hole needlessly large and the knuckle is in good shape. I always pack the hell out of everything with grease after so it doesn't corrode so fast too. Always easier the second time I do it! XD

About to do this job on my 02. I've heard that a worn hub can also CO tribute to the humming that's associated to a blown bearing. Do you know anything about this? Also, any tips with diagnosing which corner has the bad bearing? Not too confident with guessing the rear passengers and I don't have a lift to get under it while it's in gear. Thanks

@802Garage 4 жыл бұрын

Well a worn hub can contribute to noise as well as prematurely wear a bearing. Essentially if it is not straight/true, it's going to cause some vibration and harmonic imbalance. It's not a bad idea to replace the hubs when you replace the bearings, but a lot of aftermarket hubs aren't as high quality as the OEM. As for guessing which bearing it is, mostly just listening. If you drive the car fast on pavement and turn back and forth slowly you should be ale to hear if it is coming from the front or rear and then try to isolate which side. The humming will get louder and quieter as you shift the weight of the car. Generally whichever side of the car is on the outside of your turn, as in if you are turning right and the weight has shifted to the left side of the car, if it gets louder then likely the left bearing is bad and vice versa. The other way to check is basically to jack up each corner and then grab the top and bottom of the wheel/tire and push in and out. If the wheel has a lot of play and you can see the hub moving, your bearing is very worn. Also if you jack up a corner and spin the wheel by hand and you hear a lot of noise, another good indicator. Though sometimes that can be brake pads dragging or something, but you should be able to tell the difference. As another note, the rear bearings on these cars are much harder to change than front, mostly if you try to get the lateral link bolt out. Some people suggest taking off the inner bolts on the subframe instead. I actually started to make a tutorial on the rear and had to trash it because I encountered issues. Still want to in the future. Also in the rear you have to put the inside inner race in the outer race before you press it in and you should put the outside inner race in place and the outside seal, then press the hub through both inner races at the same time. Just a last note because if you do it exactly like in this tutorial you will end up having to press the outer race back out like I have before, hah.

@@802Garage Thanks for your video and responses to questions! If you install the hub with the bearings in the knuckle (like you mentioned above), aren't you putting more stress on the outer roller bearing and its inner race as they will have to push back as you force the hub in? Probably if the hub shaft is well greased, the forces will be low? I agree it is better from the outer seal viewing though. I'm planning on replacing one front bearing on an 04 Forester XT very soon!

@802Garage 3 жыл бұрын

@@brianzacher7007 The quick answer is yes, it will apply some force to the rollers, and therefore to both race surfaces. However, it is not much more force than the bearing will see in regular use and should not be detrimental. This is actually the same as the updated Subaru recommended procedure for the rear bearings, where they also specifically state not to use a hydraulic press as to avoid sideward or excessive force. That's why this is my preferred procedure. Thank you for your comment!

I just did one front bearing on an 01 forester. I put both bearing in the hub then pressed on the hub as you advised in the comments .The bearing failed in 2 days .i thought it was defective parts but ive seen your way and the way i did mine .

@802Garage 2 ай бұрын

First of all, what brand of bearing did you use? Second, there are several potential issues here. The first and most likely would be that you did not press the hub all the way through both inner bearing races. If you used a plate that was slightly too large it may have hung up on the knuckle itself and not fully pressed through. Then if torquing the axle nut on did not draw it through the rest of the way, that would have resulted in a loose bearing. Another option is that you somehow pressed on the outside of the back inner bearing which will damage the cage and potentially dislodge rollers. It's also possible something was off angle when you started pressing and you forced past it. I am not criticizing you at all by the way, I have no idea what happened just giving options. In general though, if you did press the hub all the way through both inner bearings, which would mean without the axle installed there should be absolutely no in and out play of the hub and you should not be able to rock it up and down at all either, then there is no way the bearing should have failed in 2 days unless there was a sealing issue and all of the grease escaped. This can happen if you forget a seal, obviously, or if one is damaged during installation, or not fully pressed in. That last reason is the main reason I suggested the alternate method in the pinned comment, because the way I showed, it was not guaranteed to press the outer seal in all the way without for example using a screwdriver around it to press it in the rest of the way. Even if a seal was slightly loose, I would be surprised if it lost enough grease to fail in a couple days. The other option, which is extremely common, is that you did not torque the axle nut enough, or that it was not staked enough and it started to back out and loosened up enough to allow the bearing to become damaged. I have seen this happen many times, including by shops. A friend recently had a shop replaced there wheel bearing and they did not stake the axle nut and it came loose and destroyed the bearing. They sent me pictures and I was able to demonstrate this was the case and the shop replaced it for free because they are the ones who screwed up. I am very sorry this happened to you and I hope it was not an error of my guide that caused the issue, but I hope this comment helps you figure it out. Basically, not pressing the hub all the way through and/or inadequately twerking or staking the axle nut allowing a bearing to run while slightly loose is the most common reason it would fail quickly. The other common reasons are low quality aftermarket bearings, torque applied to one of the bearing races in a direction it should not have been or on the wrong part of one of the bearings, and grease sealing issues.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure what will happen. I think the lip isn't big enough for the outer seal to take place of the inner, or it's just missing the part that touches the axle face. So you'll likely have some premature moisture and dirt ingress. Worst case scenario is you'll have to replace the bearing sooner than normal, but if you took it apart you would have to anyways. So I'd just let it ride or pull the axle back out and put the correct inner seal in at least. Good luck!

You should ideally have the hub pulled all the way through both races as shown in the video before putting in the axle. When done properly, you should bot be able to move the hub up and down. Basically if you grab the studs and pull up and down and there is still some play in the assembly, you likely didn't tighten it enough. When torqued properly, the axle may finish the job, but not always.

@802Garage 3 жыл бұрын

Refer to 14:55 to see play in the assembly and 15:20 for once it was full tight. When installing the axle if you don't have a large enough torque wrench, depending on the spec usually standing on a breaker bar at X distance from the socket based on your weight can get you there. Make sure you stake that nut! Hope this helps.

@@lucask.warren5652 Sorry, got sidetracked big time yesterday and never had the chance. The Subaru front wheel bearing for all 1990-2008 press in front bearing cars is 28316FE0008A Here is a link to buy the OEM bearing it comes with the outer race and both inner bearings amzn.to/3cUcRkj That's cheaper than you'll get it at the dealer. You'll also need the inner and outer seals. Front inner seal is 28015AA080 here is a link amzn.to/37fslvV Front outer seal is 28015AA0708A here is a link amzn.to/3rDR1py This kit comes with bearing and seals, but an older revision of bearing, though it would be fine. amzn.to/3cV0rsD Otherwise I recommend Timken as a pretty good brand. You'll save some money. 517008 amzn.to/2Oo4H9R Seals I get National over Timken, but part numbers are same. amzn.to/3jxToHz and amzn.to/3aMkLtz Hope this helps. I don't usually replace the circlip. Let me know if you have other questions.

How do you know how much force to use when tightening? ( Pulling the hub in/ final assembly) can't find any work specs.

Great question! Since this is either done with a hydraulic press or a press in tool like this, there is no spec as far as I know. So, the correct answer is "until seated" basically. When pulling in the outer race, it should go in until firmly seated.The back of the race should be against the lip on the inside of the hub with no gap and cannot be moved more. When you are installing the hub and bearings it's the same. The outer bearing face should be pressed against the hub, the inner lip should be butted up against the inner bearing lip, and you should not be able to press the hub through the bearings further. Basically, tighten until nothing will budge anymore. There is pretty much nothing you can hurt since you are pushing on hard steel. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting.
