Old hub looked way too clean

Very nice seeing new OEM parts being installed. Those mounted hubs are so much easier than the older pressed in bearings.. great work as always.

A well made video. A New Englander here, jealous of that Subaru hub bearing dropping right out with no effort lol! I gave up on hammering the hubs or using air hammers so I quickly just remove the parking brake, undo the abs sensor, remove axle nut, unbolt the suspension, remove the complete hub, a swing or two of the sledge to drop hub out of bearing, then let the shop press do the hard work with a support block plate set. After a loud bang at the press breaking free of the rust bond everything falls apart. Would be great to have an opportunity to work on a southern Subaru and avoid that entire mess of steps. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Southern cars, just wow. Here in the northeast, new rotors rarely even fit due to rust jacking.

I may not have the tools to do all this but I do enjoy seeing what's all involved. A little different from the work I used to do with my dad on the old beater cars in the 70's! ha Enjoyed the vid!

Thanks for some great videos over the last year sir. Happy new year, I hope we all have a good one.

i spent 4 days hammering on the rear assembly studs before I gave up and just took the whole knuckle off. A lot easier to get some force with the knuckle off vs baby arming it on your back

Wow, that assembly come off so easy. On my 2010 Outback, I had to take the knuckle off on all 4 (not at the same time), make a crude puller AND beat them out with a hammer while tightening the puller bolts after a couple of whacks until the assembly popped out. One thing I learned long ago living in New England......Anti-Seize compound is your friend. I replaced the right front twice. The second time, the assembly popped right out. No swearing required.

I just did this on my 2017 Outback. Live in the Sierra Nevada mountains with lots of snow and salt in the winter. The bearing unit was so rusted and seized, nothing and I mean nothing was going to get the bearing to come loose. I finally had to admit defeat and replace the entire rear knuckle and then replace the bearing unit.

Can’t wait for the water pipe o-ring replacement video. I have the same issue on my ‘10 outback and would be really nice to have a step by step on an intake manifold removal video from a non-turbo engine.

Lot easier on that 2010 than this 2013.

Mr. Subaru As live in the Rust Belt I don’t bother even pounding anymore I just unbolt the suspension bolts and bearing bolts and I press the bearing out with a shop press . And the press fights it all the way. The rust bond is amazingly strong especially the rear. I always replace with new backing plates and I keep a supply of the Genuine Subaru bolts and nuts. There was a Subaru TSB to replace the Rear Backing plate anyways . I always clean the rust off the knuckle and put anti-seize on . My co-workers have a little luck with impact hammer or torch but there is always residual damage to the knuckle. As u mentioned I could only dream of the assembly coming apart as easy as u had it. There are some hilarious KZread videos of people attempting the hammer method with bad results. FYI the Subaru Rear Bearings just laughs at the Hub Buster. Thank You for posting the video !!!

As always I learn so much from your channel

Okay, I'll chime in with the "I'm jealous about the lack of rust" on that car comment

Wow. I just did this job and it took a monumental effort to get the hubs off.

My DeWalt 12v 1/2 impact knocked those axle nuts loose in a heartbeat💪

Thanks for the video Robert nicely done 👍✅ take care of yourself.

Great videos man. Thanks a lot.

Holy shit! That was quick!

I own a Subaru Impreza and a Mazda Miata. I always tell the mechanic that I want OEM parts, and if there is an issue getting them to let me know. A shop used cheap Chinese/Mexican parts on my Mazda once and that was enough for me to specify every time that I want OEM parts if at all possible. I also just ordered a bunch of Japanese made OEM Subaru oil filters for my Impreza.

Just did the front bearings on my 09 Forester in Australia, for a home mechanic most things are easy on these things to work on but they are a car you cannot ignore. If you are not keeping a eye under the hood/bonnet they become very expensive to own. The Toyotas and Mazdas I’ve owned, really just changed oil and filters and coolant when first purchased. The 2007 Mazda 2 I just sold still looked new underneath, not a single oil drop anywhere, the Subaru looks the opposite.

"Hate from the rust belt"....No hate, just jealousy. For example, the last time I had to deal with an ABS sensor, I unplugged it from under the hood and fed the wires through the wheel well rather than try to remove the plastic sensor from the hub. You just unbolted it. I'm so jealous!

Super video

18:14 I had the same coolant leak on top of the engine, turned out to be the water pipe o-rings on top.

Timely! I have a 2012 Forester in my driveway that needs a rear wheel bearing......and sway bar links, and tie rod ends, and brakes, and.........

You've mentioned this before about how those of us up North will hate you for how easy that hub/bearing just pops right out. It's not hate really but something close.... LOLOL!

Very good. Thanks.

You were reading my mind when you said "hate comments from the rust belt ". Lol

That was great

About a decade ago, when only amateurs were posting brake videos, to push back the slave cylinder without cracking open the bleeder screw was a magnet for hateful comments! We who live in the rust belt would smirk at that, because opening that bleeder screw was an invitation to snap off the bleeder and mess up the day. I've conveniently never believed the folk lore about retrograde flow of brake fluid causing MC seal trouble. After all, every time you let your foot off the brake, fluid moves back to a lesser extent. Retrograde filling and bleeding is a standard technique in motorcycles. Even so I found the ASE recommended standard approach to be puzzling. I'm interested in your workflow to not crack the bleeder in a geographic location where rust is a mirage. Has the book teaching changed?

2:04 wow took the whole wheel off with 1 finger

In your experience which Subaru would be the most dependable in the 10-17k range ?

Is there a reason why subarus smoke the rear pads alot quicker then the fronts? The last two 2011 legacys ive had aswell as my new 17 outback go through rear brakes fairly quick. Is this common or just my luck thanks for any help love the vids!

As someone who lives in the rust belt and have done multiple rear hubs. I would be worried if they came out that easy. I usually have to take the shoes off and spend 30 minutes beating it off before getting frustrated and breaking out the air powered purse and spending another 30mins trying to get it out. Then once its out another 20 minutes separating it from the backing plate then 10 minutes to reshape the backing plate. Then put it back together.

Is the 2013 Subaru Impreza a good car to buy? I found one for sale that I want to go check out and it has 89,000 kilometres on it. With the Touring Pkg. looks in good condition.

Mr.Subaru, do you have a recommended service interval chart for new Subarus? I’m almost ready to take delivery of the 23 Subaru Crosstrek Premium in the 6MT we ordered. Hoping to keep it running to 300,000 with little issues. I’ve been watching your videos and see that sometimes Subaru doesn’t do their best at giving buyers a good service interval chart. Do you have any places I could look to find a “vetted” service interval chart with possible added touch points? Thank you!

hello mr subar , i have impreza 2010 with ej15 engine , its using more than 2.5L between oil change , between there is no any leak on the engine body , any help please

For wrx hatch 2013 wll be same process or different ?

I just did all four of mine and the only way I could get them off was to take the whole spindle off and heat and beat them out… question though, on one of my front axles there was a “CV oil seal dust sheild” part number 28337AG000, it was only on one of my axles (passenger side). Is this part needed? I ask as this wheel also had a bad ABS sensor as well so not sure that had anything to do with it… and yes seeing you take your hub off like this the hate is real..😂

I did an idle relearn on a 2007 Impreza last week and the radio keeps saying system check. Anyone have this issue? Did I do something wrong or is there something I should have done at the end to stop the check? I thought I went through all the steps properly. Disconnect the battery for 30 min or so, reconnect with everything off, turn the key to start without turning it over for more than 20 sec, idle for 10, kill engine and keep the key in the start position for more than 20 sec and repeat for a 5 min idle. I thought that was it but the radio still says system check. Any help would sure be appreciated

Can I bring my rust belt crosstrek to you sometime lol. Try doing a bearing on that

About to do brakes and I suspect a hub assembly on my 13 Crosstrek. Any tips for locating the bad bearing? Rhythmic humming noise starting around 30-35 MPH that worsens during a long, gradual left turn. I can't tell position by sound and no noticable play in wheels when lifted.

When I knew I had a bad rear bearing and didn't know which one, I had my wife drive while I sat in the cargo space (with the seats down) and listened carefully to both sides. I was able to determine the bad bearing. Good luck.

Oh boy after ten years those backing plates just crumble up here in Maine.I personally would coat those things good with some rust inhibitor.A lot of new Subarus around and I hate to think about how they are unprotected....really a huge mistake.Unless of course you just buy a new one in 3-4 years,and let someone else deal with it.

I can't even fathom working on a vehicle without rust. I don't even touch wheel speed sensors as they are stuck in place with rust. I just work around them.

Are you not worried about putting. Too much pressure eon the break system when compressing the piston back in the caliper? I heard that you should open the break valve. Just curious since I didn't last time I changed the breaks and am going to have to change them here in the next few months. Thanks for the video

Instead of brushing the anchors, some manufacturers just recommend only brake cleaner, don't really have to apply anything on the bottom of the shims. Anchors come with anti-corrosion coatings so wire brushing is a no no. Like your videos man, keep showing the correct methods to repair to advise everyone to do everything correctly. Torque settings and genuine parts whenever possible. New bolts are also advised by some manufacturers for torque to yield stuff, seems like a good idea anyway as you would never really know if the previous guys overstretched the bolts when they aren't supposed to. Safer vehicles on the road when everyone follow good repair practices.
