watched the video a few times … it gave me all i needed to accomplish the job myself … thank you for making the video … also thank you for that 8mm rod slide hammer info, that came in handy 🙏🙏🙏
U made it look easy...tempting me to try it on my own...thought I'm afraid I'll head in to some unexpected issue and be left half job done. I myself had replaced too the cv axle thinking it was the problem..yet..
@@MechanicAnoop I just did the CV axles and still hear a noise when turning. I got it an alignment before thinking that was it and i was hoping that's the case now. Is there a way to diagnose the problem? How long will it last approximately before failing? Thank you in advance
Hello, mostly it lasts 100,000 km or maybe more if the vehicle was maintained with same size tires all the time. To diagnose this issue, roll the vehicle slowly forward maybe 10 meters and then put it in reverse and roll back. If you hear some clunking noise during this it should be the viscous coupling.
Excellent presentation. Thanks. One thought. Prior to removing drain plug, remove fill plug. Not being able to remove fill plug after having drained a transmission complicates life. My case was a semi-sealed automatic transmission.
Thank you so much. But this one didn't have a fill plug, its manual transmission is fitted with dipstick which is used for filling also. (It's visible in the final portion of the video)
I'm having similar problem on 2010 subaru outback mt where feels like the front end is welded diff at slow speeds and locks up around corners... I'm starting to think it's the vc..... I did a clutch on the car and notices cv alxes need to be replaced did that now I'm having this lock up issue😮
I need one of these, Mine's starting to clunk tight turns park speed. Replaced front cv shafts but still clunks, Anyway good content i know now what's the problem.👍
Hello, I made that cylinder in lathe by turning and drilling mild steel. And the M8 rod I bought from a hardware shop as 1m and cut it as I approximately needed for maximum impact and minimum injury.
And that UA-camrs, is exactly how it's done. Well done Mechanic Anoop. Andy ~
Thank you so much Andy! 😊

Thanks for watching and for the compliment. All the best 💯

Thank you for the compliment 🙏 If you have done the CV axle yourself I think you can do this job too. Lift the whole vehicle is a must. Cheers

@@MechanicAnoop Oops. I need to be more patient and watch until end of video before putting my foot into my mouth with foolish statement. I apologize.
Thanks for the video and the education. Cheers
You are welcome!
A real good one baby ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Take care 😘
Thanks wife♥️🫂
Have you tried rebuilding a vc ? Seems pretty simple and wayyy less money
I didn't try yet. Seems difficult to acquire parts in EU
1:33 Been there........at least you didn't take a chunk of skin out of your knuckles
It was terrific.
I'm having similar problem on 2010 subaru outback mt where feels like the front end is welded diff at slow speeds and locks up around corners... I'm starting to think it's the vc..... I did a clutch on the car and notices cv alxes need to be replaced did that now I'm having this lock up issue😮
I guess it's the VC. It won't last more than 100,000 km most cases.
Do you know how this may relate to an automatic 2010 forester?
Yes. It has same system..
You didn’t put the spacer back, was that on purpose?
I put it back. But it was on the other half 😊
Would you know how different an automatic Center Diff replacement would be compared to a manual?
I believe it's almost the same as manual as they are symmetrical.
Is this process the same for a automatic trans? 2013 Subaru Outback. Pretty sure it's the Viscous Coupling making the noise.
Yes it's almost the same as manual as the Subaru has symmetrical AWD.
I need one of these, Mine's starting to clunk tight turns park speed. Replaced front cv shafts but still clunks, Anyway good content i know now what's the problem.👍
I'm happy that it helped you. This Subaru had the same issue, Owner changed CV axles in vain but eventually viscous coupling solved the issue.
What are you spraying on the casing after you've cleaned it off? And what kind of gasket paste did you use?
Brake cleaner. RTV silicone gasket paste black colour.
What is the cause why u replace the coupling sir?
Clunking noise in low speed, (speed of parking)
use the same shims ? did you replace any other bearings ? why all the hammering ?
Yes Same. It's not hammer, It's called as mallet.
Where did you get the cylinder?
Please clarify
@@MechanicAnoopFor the slide hammer assembly
Hello, I made that cylinder in lathe by turning and drilling mild steel. And the M8 rod I bought from a hardware shop as 1m and cut it as I approximately needed for maximum impact and minimum injury.
@@MechanicAnoopdamn, i was hoping i could buy it at a hardware store lol
Will this be similar on a 2016 Crosstrek? Mechanics are quoting me 3-4 thousand dollars for this job and the part is only like $700
Hello, yes it's similar on your 2016 Crosstrek.
@@MechanicAnoop Thank you
Did anyone else notice no gasket or rtv on reassembly? Its gonna leak like a seive. And yes, also all the hammering looks like something not right.
Look again slowly, the gasket you can see(black colour) it is not hammer It's mallet, it was because of the bearing fitting.
8:59 Open your eyes.
This is an excellent tutorial.
