I decided to make this tutorial because I could not find a detailed video of the process on RUclips for this type of bearing replacement. Any video I found typically involved removing the entire knuckle from the car and placing it in a hydraulic press. Many videos also show incorrect procedures which may damage this type of bearing.
I attempted to address all these issues by showing how to do this job without a hydraulic press or removing major components from the car. This also means no suspension components are affected and alignment will not change. This is also the cheapest way to change a press in bearing correctly, as the tools needed can be had for around $150.
The car in this video is a 1993 Subaru Impreza. However, this procedure works for many cars from most brands. Especially smaller vehicles from Japanese manufacturers. Even if you have a different car, many of the steps in this video may still apply. Always check the proper procedures for your vehicle, including torque specs. If you have ABS, remember you may need to remove the sensor!
