A local dealer quoted me $1034 to do a single wheel bearing. I was able to DIY it in about an hour for $68 thanks to this video. Keep up the great work TRQ!
Dude, I wish I would have watched this video before starting. Driver's side hub took an hour to get off with a slide hammer and 2.5 hours on the passenger side didn't get it to budge. Tried everything: heat, Aero Kroil, slide hammer, etc. Also managed to ding the quarter panel swinging a BFH. Fixing my old Subie up so that I can gift it to someone in need and it's turning into my own personal Vietnam. Thanks for the tip. Going to be picking up an air hammer tomorrow.
Very nice, well detailed video. HOWEVER, two points of contention here...DO NOT PUT THE CAR ON THE GROUND TO TIGHTEN THE SPINDLE NUT!! This will load the bearing which may cause damage or premature wear. Tighten as he shows in the video, using a bar through the wheel studs, though I'd recommend spinning lug nuts on the studs first (backwards, with the bevel facing out) to avoid damaging the threads.
Can’t wait to do this monthly maintenance on my car! 😢 *cries in Subaru. Thanks for a great and informative vid. Now to order the parts so I can do my own rears..
The rotors look roached. I would be doing a brake job too... Also the whole car looks roached. Course this thing is probably from up north. I am getting ready to do this on my Crosstrek, which appears to have no rust at all, so hopefully its an easy job! Thanks for the video.
So not lookign forward to doing this. I chamged my front last year, left came off no problem, right side though took nearly 3 hoursto get off. No air hammer 😭
My friend and I raced he did the rear left and I did the rear right and it took him almost 4 hours to get his off with a sledge. I used pen lube and a pry bar and mine was off in about 5 minutes haha god he was pissed.
Ok video but to remove the rotor they put two 10mm tapped holes in the hub of the rotor (you can see them in the video). No need to beat them off like a American cars. Also lug nut torque is 88.5 ft lbs not 100. You are going to stress the studs.

Awesome video! Just saved this to my playlist as I know my Crosstrek will soon need this done. These Subarus make me miss my low maintenance Honda 😭
Great job! I probably would have cleaned the brake shoe assembly while i had it open. Blow air and spray with brake cleaner.

just recieved two rear hubs from TRQ for my 17 Subaru Wrx plan on doing them soon when warmer weather pops up.Greetings from Mass
So do you do all that jazz for the parking brake while it is OFF? or while it is set ON.
Amazing how easily the air hammer loosened the hub from the knuckle.
As someone who has this exact Subaru, the wheel torque is 90ft/lb. 100 is excessive for this.
Great video saved me $2000
help out the next guy, anti-sieze compound bro
great video, looks very labor intensive. Some serious rust on that Subaru.
The rotors look roached. I would be doing a brake job too... Also the whole car looks roached. Course this thing is probably from up north. I am getting ready to do this on my Crosstrek, which appears to have no rust at all, so hopefully its an easy job! Thanks for the video.
Appreciate the help brother 🙏 😊

Awesome video-thanks!!
Well presented, although I would have replaced those rotors.
Great vid
Any one get there transaxle stuck to the bearing?
If that were my car that rotor would not have gone back on. Rust is a telling thing.
So I took my ebrake apart for nothing. Awesome
God, I hate these cars. I have to do this on two cars before the winter. Gotta get my an air hammer. Thank you. 🫡
