Since I'm due for some maintenance I have the question: What are the type and numbers of the other two bearings? (in the excellent video you explain that you've already replaced those, but I haven't found the OEM numbers instead of the Subaru partsnumbers). Cheers!
Great educational video. My 2005 Impreza makes a whine noise whilst driving in gear and coasting in neutral. Would you say it's the centre differential bearing? Thanks
what noise what it making before u fixed it
i need this done… do u think 1300$ is a good price?
shit man rotate your tires, and frigging adjust that camber lol
Amazing detail and video, helped me singlehandedly replace my bad gears when the circlip came off the diff and flew into the gears. Search "subaru center differential circlip" for ticking sounds related to gears whose teeth have been eaten away by this flawed factory part. My profile has a video of what that sounds like
i have this exact same car and i need to do my bearings as well.
do you have the other 3 part numbers ?
806230170
806255010
806322080
806330120
these were the subaru part numbers i was given. good for any legacy from the years 2000-2005
I have a grinding noise coming from the transmission area when I am coasting off the gas while in gear & only while I am coasting off the gas in gear. Most prominent in 3rd & 4th, maybe in others, just don't hear anything. Do you think it's the gearset inside the transmission itself or maybe the front differential? Sounds like it's in front of me, in the transmission area, that's why I have ruled out center or rear differential. Please help if anyone has answers!
I need to replace center diff for my 96 outback, is it close enough to help me?
thanks so much for making this vid. I need to replace mine in my swapped Forester ej205
I finished the job! You video was of great help. The grinding in my transmission stopped and my shifts are very smooth. The jerking that occurs around turns has not stopped. I was wondering if you knew what might cause a jerking around turns …almost feels like a slip and I have no power. I have brand new CV joints in the front as well. Thank you Dutch Garage!
if you get a flat on the front you need to take a good tire from the rear and move it up…pain in the ass and put on spare tire in back the put fwd fuse in
We commonly call the undersize spare tire a doughnut here in the US.
I have a 2002 Subaru Forester.. I want to change out the bearings as well.. are they all the same type of bearing or are they each different for the input and output shaft? Amazing Video!! Can't wait to do this myself!
Just did this on my 02 WRX, and this video was SPOT ON. WRX had a couple extra bolts, but the layout of everything was the exact same.
For any others trying this, the hardest part for me was getting the back cover off of the transmission. As he says, try hitting it at DIFFERENT spots. I kept trying the same one, and was getting nowhere. Once I moved to a different spot higher up, it popped right off.
And thank you SO MUCH for doing this video. Your hard work and effort (especially getting good camera shots of the entire process) is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the great video! Did you replace the other bearings with the same puller when you did this the first time? I will be doing this soon and purchasing all 4 bearings just in case.
I ended up having to replace the center diff in my outback. This video was an asset, made everything go smoothly for me! I also replaced the 3 bearings while I was in there.
I just did my center diff in my 02 WRX 5mt. You're right, it's not the difficult. Nut by nut, bolt by bolt. I purchased a new center diff which $528, shipped to me, $0 labor. I think the dealer charges around $1300.
Great video
Diff on my B4 died as well
hey mate awsum job very helpfull thank u so much!
may I ask . how do we know the differential break?
Thanks for uploading. Where did you get the diff? I can't seem to find one used. Except maybe a complete gearbox.
great video, thanks for posting. i may be replacing a center diff soon myself, this is very helpful.
