How do you replace Subaru Legacy front wheel bearings?

I saw this online http://www.endwrench.com/current/Current6/03/WhBearRep.pdf


How do you know which hub bearing is bad?

I have that problem right now. What I did was ascertain through hearing and feel that it was one of the front bearings. As a general rule--you never replace just one bearing. Either the two front or the two rear. Short of actually removing each bearing, this is your only option--unless you want to pay the bucks for a crackerjack mechanic; and if you do take bearings out--you never replace with the same old bearing--always new. Bad wheel bearings usually make noise. Try to listed to where the noise comes from.


Is it easy to replace front wheel bearings?

That depends on what you mean by easy and on what vehicle (there are several types of wheel bearings and assemblies). For someone with the correct tools, preferably with a repair manual, and a little mechanical experience, it is pretty easy for most vehicles. For someone who can't change a spark plug or a tire, probably not so much.


How do you replace a front wheel bearing on a 1996 dodge stratus?

I have had to do this. This process is generally the same for any car. 1 Take off the wheel with the bad bearing. 2 Remove the caliper 3 Behind the caliper is the end of the axel. Inside of it, you will see a circular shaped object lined with bearings. Just pull it out. You usually have to replace the what I'm pretty sure is called the rase. Basically, this is a metal liner that sits between the bearing and the inside of the axel. This is not easy to get out! I'm sure there is some special tool you can borrow from an automotive store. They usually loan these kinds of things out for free. If you can't get this liner out by yourself, you might consider having a mechanic put new bearings on for you.
