Im about to attempt this tomorrow, will forsure be grabbing some thur bolts as a JIC before though haha. Great tip

You dont have to do all that. Just pop them out and drive the new ones in

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

That pinch is still there on the 2020-2024 Outbacks lol

He needed to have his helmet on for the intro?

What diameter and length bolt did you use? Asking for a friend. 😬

All your anti-seize went onto the shanks of your bolts and not the threads.

Great video. To the point, precise instructions, with no jibber jabber about off topic things. Had my master cylinder go bad and have never done clutch work before. As a beginner enthusiast, many times i’m scared off doing my own work from watching a complicated video that doesn’t need to be. Thank you!

Hey thanks for the video! Do you need to refill the master cylinder between bleeding each caliper?

Pull the ignition fuse

I just changed left side rear caliper so should I only bleed that one or do I need to bleed all ?

This helped alot thanks

You need some easy outs to remove it.

I’m spraying my pinche bolts with penetrant weeks before I even try to remove them. Maybe this way the oil will creep into the threads further. Plus don’t just try to sent it home and take it out in one shot. Loosen it a little then tighten it a little etc.

how do you like the Red Line in your trany?

Good job. Probably the easiest pinch ball joint bolt removal I ever see on older Subaru's, lol. Did you removed recently before this project?

Ya know if you turned that camera around, we could see your drip 😏

Nice video kid. Thanks for doing it. Also you using 5W40 oil, any particular reason?

Loved the puppy part. Awesome tutorial, thanks

Ty so much for leaving the link to those little caps, very helpful, guy!!❤

Can you replace the bearing in the differential

I have a ccr2450. I put on full choke and pressed the primer bulb 2 times, it floods the carb and will not start. On another day cold start, I put full choke, I do not press the primer bulb at all, then pull the rope 4 times it will start. Any thoughts as to why it floods like that. Flooding the carb is a pain. I guess I’ll try just priming it 1 time??

Subaru ball joints are one of the biggest PITA repairs. Terrible design.

This is a great fix, what length bolt did you use for the threw bolt. I'm about to do mine and want to have a bolt on hand just in case things go wrong.

Going through this on my 2006 Subaru Forester at the moment. Broke an easy out and had to grind that out too. Not a fun process.

Clutch cable install?

Yeah, that wouldn’t be a Subaru if it wasn’t leaking out oil pretty normal

This is the best oil cooler gasket video on YT. Highly underrated

I had the exact thing happen but I drill out most of the broken pinch bolt then pulled it out with an RBRT FOR remover. Tapped/cleaned the threads and used a new oem pinch bolt.

Would this help if my clutch engages as soon as I start lifting my foot? My clutch pedal is pretty much to the floor

If you want to try and fix it, better to fix it than leave it broken. But that bolt is completely rusted in and will hold your ball joint in for at least a while.

how long is the new through bolt? which quality do i need for that screw?

I break these first with a racthet wd40 soaked or what ever works best then take off the spindle and impact it

I dont think ill ever use a hammer on my car 😂 but other than that I appreciate the information!!

Thanks for the video, but can't you just put it in 5th gear and turn the wheel manually instead?

What a pain, good job. A quick way to center your drill when the bolt is recessed is to start with a drill diameter that is exactly the same size as the bolt, and drill down about a millimeter. That produces a little cavity exactly in the center, so the first pilot bit will easily self center. It works even if the bolt surface is irregular from snapping off. From there it's just a matter of being exactly true.

that last bolt ended up breaking part of my block off from being over torqued :)

I usually siphon the old fluid out of the reservoir, refill then pump the clutch pedal a few times and repeat the process 3 times. I don't want to mess with the intercooler as it's hard to remove and re-install.

Gracias amigo !!!

Just curious as to how the through bolt and nut has held up after this repair. Seems maybe a little sketchy but it also seems like it could work. Ha.

That pry bar put a lot of damage on the ring after the reinstallation. Are you sure that was the right tool to use?

video is fantastic, thank you so much.

You are supposed to put A thin layer of 3 bond sealant on the gasket

Draining coolant looks like a P.I.T.A.

Did you try a 13 before the 1/2 lol

nice video. you fogort to lock the axle nut to secure the tyre, i once travelled 1400 kilometers on unlocked axle nut and it was near dissaster. Thanx for such an informative video.

To remove the two electrical connectors next to the fuse box, use some wd-40 penetrant, then use two small flat head screwdrivers, one to hold down the locking pin and one to gently pry the connector apart from the side. I got mine off in 5 mins doing this

I like how you left out the most insanely difficult part - getting the y pipe back on.

Wow im impressed that pinch bolt came out with 0 torch action

The most beautiful video ever , very organized , very informative, amazing camera views, have all the parts available for other people to buy and included the torque specs , very good job , i wish all videos were like this
