Ive worked on a lot of subarus. That ratchet strap trick is genius
Quick tip use the old axle seal as a buffer
Another quick tip, screw driver or punch in the rotor fins stops at the caliper for front axle spin for torque/break loose without risking lug stud damage.
I thought the sundial was preload the carrier bearing? For some reason I thought it had to be taken to a certain torque spec.
Yes, this is why you count the turns. To return it back to the factory loaded spec
THANK YOU!
Great Video! I found it because I have been feeling some vibration at higher speeds upon acceleration. A lot of forums say it would be a CV axle but I have new CV axles on both sides. So when I went underneath I noticed there is a fair amount of up/down side/side play in where the axle connects to the trans/diff. I also have the leaking issue you have here. Im wondering if the stub coming out of my diff is worn out, and how to replace/diagnose that? Thoughts?
There's is a bearing behind that seal retainer that is removed in this video. However they usually make a ton of noise if they are bad. When are you getting the vibration? If it's happening at a stop it's likely caused by poorly made aftermarket axles. If it's happening when driving and you already replaced the axles, then the next step is to remove the drive line and feel the u-joints for notchy spots or sometimes they are completely seized up.
Do you have a part number for the Oring?

Doesn't the stub come out
They do with enough force. But it's best to leave them in if possible as the locking ring on the end of the stub can be easily damaged or lost.
So I assume this is the same deal on the automatic 04 sedan outback h6
If it uses the same style Axles with the roll pin then yes
They look similar to your old ones but green with a roll pin
It's likely the same transmission. I'd just double check part umbers to your vin at the local dealership
Man this was great thank you so much. My buddy did a diy fix on it that didn’t work and with the wrong parts 🥹 you saved this subi
