meier motor sports Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 2 ways. use a pry bar and pry them out of the trans. or use a punch and punch out the roll pin and then remove the cv joint from the axel pin. also using a pry bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derffred Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It's easy... I replaced my right front axle a few weeks ago. Disconnect the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle, disconnect your shock from the steering knuckle, remove the 32mm axle nut; then do what Meier stated above.

2000Outback Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was hoping to avoid the alignment but what is, is what is. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 remove the lower ball joint and swing the whole strut knuckle assembly out to remove only the axle to transmission connection. your camber and toe will not be effected. you may also need to remove the outer tie rod from the knuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derffred Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just mark the bolt and where the knuckle meets the shock.. that's what I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
