True Story First time I ever installed coil overs on my forester. I dropped the heavy ass OEM strut onto the CV axle and it tore the boot. Ur vids gave my the confidence to pull out the CV axle and get the boot replaced for $40. Thanks.

[@wjm988]

as a crosstrek owner i just wanted to say that i appreciate your awesome vids!

[@daniel-su4hw]

i recently started hearing clicking when i lock my wheel to the right at low speeds on my 2011 Subaru forester, i was suspecting it to be the CV axle. I wasn't too sure if i'd be able to do it myself but after watching this video i feel pretty confident. Thank you for always going into great detail with all you videos :)

[@johnmclou]

Awesome, thank you. As a "norther" I'm jealous of the shorts. I always find myself doing repairs in snow, sleet and whatnot.

[@mikestern9639]

I've personally just found it easier to remove the 2 strut bolts and popping the ball joint out of the control arm. Don't remember ever having to take the brakes and such off to do any of mine. Did have to take that brake bolt out though to give enough slack on hose.

[@MrSubaru1387]

I go by the book in my videos and the more components out of the way, the easier it is to show viewers what's going on and get the camera in better.

[@mikestern9639]

@@MrSubaru1387 makes sense in that case then

[@tjlovesrachel]

@@mikestern9639you don’t even have to take the ball joint out… just the brake line bolt for slack and the abs sensor…and I do the strut bolts and then you have plenty of room to get the axle out and in

Thank you soooo much for these videos, (2014 XV 125k) I want it to ride till 300k! Please keep making these videos they have helped me very much!! 😁

[@newdayyesterday]

Excellent vid MrSubaru1387. It does make laugh the ease the bolts/nuts come off in your vids, the advantages living in a dry climate I suppose. Here in Fife, Scotland, I had to use a breaker bar to get the brake caliper mounting bolts off my 2013 Subaru XV with only 30,000 miles on the clock!. Every thread is given a liberal coating of copper slip/anti seize on reassembly.

[@jermainepickett9750]

Yes, much appreciated! I watched 5 different videos and yours was the most helpful and funny" us northers and rust belts" it took me one hr after pb blaster sat for 2hrs, with hammer and punch to get old axle off. I used zip ties to tie up my caliper out of the way! Yay 😊

[@mr.nobody4900]

Two Thumbs Way Up. A + Rating.

[@DavidCrenshaw-q2d]

when nuts get stuck in an impack socket, just grab the outside of the socket to give it resistance and doesnt just spin up to speed, point it down so gravity assists, and hit the trigger a bit till it starts "impacting" and itll rattle right out and fall gently on the ground.

[@vtindyfan802]

It's cool to see these videos - Then I can see what My Mechanic has to go through when He works on My Car (& Why He gets paid $75 per hour. Ha! Ha!). Seriously though - I'm not mechanically skilled enough to do this job. Normally, I just drop the Car off & Tim (my mechanic) calls Me up when it is done. He shows Me the parts but I never watch him do the work - He did this CV job for Me... I realize why a good Mechanic get paid what they do - Not only do they have lots of overhead (Tools, Garage, Insurance, etc) but the knowledge, skill & experience to use all those Tools is what a customer actually pays for. I've had lots of different Mechanics & Cars over the years but when You find a good Mechanic - You want to keep him...

[@robertf4572]

Nice that you don’t have to remove the outer ring on the corner diff to change the seal. The rear on my Impreza was rusted in so badly I couldn’t remove it. The tabs just kept breaking off when I tap on them.

[@MrSubaru1387]

Company23 makes the tool now. Just came out a few months ago. About $50 compared to several hundred for the old factory tool.

[@GORT70]

This has been super useful! I’m getting ready to replace my rear diff and several procedures you use here will come in handy.

[@DR-nc8nc]

Thanks for a great video. I expect that I will to change a CV axle eventually. One point that I would like to clarify - I don't think that the axle nut sets the preload on the wheel bearing assembly. I changed a wheel bearing on my daughter's Impreza last year and I believe that the bearing has a solid inner race. That would mean that the torque on the nut does not set the preload on the bearings. It is possible that excessive torque on the nut resulting in excess clamp load on the inner race of the bearing could cause that bearing race to grow radially and increase the bearing preload and thus reduce the bearing life so it is still important to properly torque the nut.

[@jrusnak69]

There is a cheap handy magnetic tool that you attach to the rotor with a leveler that allows you to ensure you maintain alignment. I found it worked really well. Also I thought Subaru recommended replacing the bearing seal in the hub as the axle puts pressure on the seal when installed and can weaken the seal when the pressure is removed. Can you comment on that?

[@jamesbruno5896]

Nice job thanks for the video! I've had a few of those leaks caused by a failed o ring on the housing...

[@markmalinowski5951]

Here in the Upper Peninsula of MI we get 300+ inches of snow annually and road salt in proportion, so rust is the biggest destroyer of cars... I've been using Fluid Film to undercoat with decent success and it's kept my underbody in good shape including bolt heads. My '13 SV is still rust-free aside from the exhaust. Rotors came off with just a lil tap with a rubber mallet, didn't need the bolts to push them. My last car before that I could barely work on since the bolt heads had all rusted to the point where they weren't hex heads anymore... had to weld nuts on a few of them to extract the bolts. I'm thankful at least the newer Subaru's have underbody protection to keep crud off of the fuel/brake lines unlike anything made before 2010.

[@jumpenjackflash4964]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS. I LIKE THE FACT YOU GIVE THE A COMPLETE DETAILED INFORMATIVE "HOW TO" WITHOUT ALL THE BLAH BLAH IN BETWEEN. QUESTIONS: 1. I RECENTLY DID A SEAL AND AXLE REPLACEMENT FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS; HOWEVER, I AM NOW HEARING A SCRAPPING IN THE FRONT END WHILE IN MOTION. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKE ROTOR IS SCRAPPING ON SOMETHING I AM GUESSING ITS THE VENT COOLING PLATE ON THE REAR OF THE ROTOR? IS THIS COMMON, NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED, ALSO UNCLEAR IF THIS IS IN FACT MY PROBLEM. QUESTION 2. AFTER INSTALLING THE SEAL DID YOU TOP OFF THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO LOSS OF GEAR OIL? IF SO, DO YOU REPLACE WITH OEM GEAR LUBE OR WILL A GOOD QUALITY 75/90 GEAR OIL WORK? I NOTICED THE GEAR LUBE COMING OUT BEFORE SEAL REPLACEMENT HAS A BLUEISH TINT TO IT. IS THERE A REASONING BEHIND SUBARUS CHOICE IN GEAR LUBE? QUESTIOIN 3. THERE'S AN O-RING INSIDE OF THE SEAL HOUSING, IS IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THIS O-RING WHEN CHANGING THE SEAL? WHERE DOES A PERSON OBTAIN THE PROPER TOOL TO REMOVE THIS HOUSING CAP FOR THE O-RING SEAL? THANKS, IN ADVICE FOR YOUR GREAT CONTENT!

Do I top off the trans fluid or the diff fluid for the cvt when replacing the cv axle?

[@michealrobinson]

I've done the boot trick on the rotor before, and I'm up in the rust belt, however I've only done this with grade 5 hardware not a bolt from the car, as they can break. Have shattered rotors doing it too, thankfully all of them that broke were getting replaced anyways.

[@teesakidd609]

How do you know when to stop hammering the seal in with the seal driver? How far is too far and if it's installed with slight angle should I just pull it out entirely?

[@johnturowski2173]

Excellent video! Can you tell us why this repair was needed in the first place? Was the boot ripped, grease leaking, squealing/squeaking? Thanks!

Did my axles the other day. As soon as I pulled the axle it dumped out a quart of fluid at least onto my floor. Was very surprised to have this happen. Well I tried to get the old axle back in as quick as I could and I think I ended up damaging the seal. New axles are in and diff was refilled but now I have a slow drip from the diff. Guess I’ll be pulling it again to do seals. Hopefully it doesn’t drain my whole diff again. Never had that happen with any of my other subarus. Never even had a drop. Have you ever experienced this?

This was really outstanding. I have a Subaru Impreza g4 2017(2WD-Japanese version), would the mechanical work be the same? Also, for the tool you used for calculating the neutons or foot pounds what if I don't have that tool, what other judgements could I utilize to get accurate readings? I'm not a trained mechanic but I like doing things myself and watching your video has really taught me many things so far

[@RandyX666]

You could possibly rely on wrench arc specifications, it’s not as accurate as a torque wrench but would get you well into the ball park. For example: “60 degrees past sharp rise in torque”

[@DonnerPassWhisky]

Great video topic as I have found owning 3 Subaru's over many years a front axle assembly swap out is a very common thing. Quite a few years ago after some cheap Chinese axles failed way too early my Subaru mechanic advised spending more (aprox $225 instead of $120) for the ones remanufactured by Subaru in Indiana and they seem to last a very long time as long as the boots hang in there. Is this your experience as well ? Thanks

[@MrSubaru1387]

I only use the Subaru factory remans. No aftermarket axles, and I've used a bunch of brands, hold up.

I like these videos. I've done a few jobs myself after watching the master at work. I have heard that the axles are the same cvt vs manual...is this true?

Dammit! I went to the hardware store to buy a bolt to get my rotors off. To think the bolt was right there.

[@mikestern9639]

Only issue I've found using bolts already from the car is if that rotor is really stuck it will mushroom the end of the bolt and make it useless to reuse.

[@DanTheManIOM]

no clip ? my 03 has a clip and the f n thing is not going back in....I was hoping this one had that clip and I would learn - how do I push the axle back in ? Without the clip, the axle just fell out of the transmission after I pulled the front hub.... I'll try that little pop thing.

[@mikequinlan3308]

Thank you for this. I need to do the same on my 2011 Forester. I noticed a couple of other similar videos on KZbin show the same job without removing the caliper and rotor, and which also leave the tie rod and stabilizer link attached. Obviously the more space you can create the better ( especially when you are trying to film as well), but in your opinion is it really necessary, or if being careful can the axle and seal replacement be done without all the dismantling you did? Another thing is, should the auto transmission be in neutral or park when removing and replacing the cv axle? Thanks for your help and thanks again for the great videos.

[@MrSubaru1387]

I try to always follow the steps and practices outlined by the Subaru factory service manuals in my repair videos. The Subaru factory service manual says to remove the brake components, remove the outer tie rod from the spindle, etc. I've seen/heard many people say they simply remove the lower ball joint and pull the spindle/strut assembly away from the car. You can go about it anyway you please, but I don't like to put the strut and strut mount under that kind of stress/strain. Also, most balljoints are hard to remove due to rust. That of course depends on the area in which you live. Work is performed with the transmission in park.

[@mikequinlan3308]

@@MrSubaru1387 Thank you for the answer. I had not considered the stress on the strut or its mount even though I confess to being a bit unsure why leaving the extra weight of the rotor and caliper in place would be exessive. Still, I agree with you that there must be a reason why the method you followed is the best practice, so its what I will do as well. I do live in Canada and rust can be an issue. Hopefully it goes smoothly and this way I will take a bit of extra time and service the front brakes as part of the job. Thanks again for letting me know about putting the auto transmission into park for this.

[@rogerhassell3212]

Another great video! Rather than unbolting the knuckle from the strut, would it work any better to disconnect the lower control arm from the ball joint? That wouldn't risk losing alignment. Otherwise, even with marking the camber bolt, I'd be tempted to get it re-aligned just to be sure.
