I did my drivers side rear yesterday, following these great instructions. Everything came apart nicely, but as most experience the hub itself was firmly attached with rust and crap.

Used a 3 arm puller, only concern is that you put a lot of force on the CV joints before the hub breaks free, even with a good soaking of PB Blaster and time to let it work. Should I be concerned?

Heading to do the passenger side today.

Ordered the Timken units from Rockauto.com

Ordered late Thursday and delivered Saturday morning, great service and price was same as Amazon, who only had one in stock.

 

only Q? now is that the paperwork in the box mentions the hub must be orientated for the ABS magnet/sensor to operate properly.

anyone know how to identify which way is the correct orientation?

What's the good bad and ugly on after market wheel bearings? Should one stick with OEM or go aftermarket?

 

Thanks for any real life experience

so who stuck a MYSUBIE.com post card on my drivers door while parked at Chili's in Plainville tonight?

I dont know much but i am under the impression, from what i have read here, that the STi Spec B Springs are paired to different struts than our USDM ones. The standard Jap GT has struts like our USDM and we shoudl pick the front springs to match those.

White 2005+ GT on Rt 1 North passing the Dunkies in Plainville. I was pulling out, was that you tooting at me?

What was the Japanese price for the springs?
