Just finished this repair on my 2014 outback. I will say it was not as easy as the video made it look! My weak impact couldnt get the axel nut off so I used a cheater bar to break axel nut free. Definitely struggled with the ball joint as well. Where did you get that handy hook with a hole in it for your pry bar? I used an eye bolt and bent it in a vice. It did the job 😅 Thanks for the video!!

Why not just remove the knuckle assembly bolts from the top of the shock rather than messing with a ball joint?

This is by far the simplest version I have seen of the job. I just need to borrow a powerful impact driver.

Wow this was so easy, I have 2019 outback and got hit by a car I was able to replacement everything but cv axle is stucked. I used cv axle removal and and pry bar nothing works. I ended uo just replacing the boot and regressed it. Any thoughts that?
