Wow, last time I watched SMA was a couple years ago, and Mrs O was cooking on a hot-plate or electric wok or something of the like, and now you have a full-on kitchenette?
I like what you two have done with the place, but I wonder who's idea it was?
I honestly can't tell, I think Mrs O likes cooking as much as Eric likes a good meal, and a better place to cook would serve both those goals.

Eric O, your wife is a hottie, you're well privileged my friend. Not to mention, that which you already know, from working in the rust belt, you're an overqualified used vehicle mechanic. Your videos have been beyond helpful to me and I wish you all the best my friend! I wish you many more years of mechanical supremacy, and I am glad to see a humble genius at work!

Can't wait - I will have to do this probably in another 20, 000 miles or so. Starting to hear knocking from the rear suspension at 95, 000 on my Subaru. Suspect it is the bearings. Fortunately, I do clean the bottom of my car in CT regularly in the winter so it does not get as crusty as this one (a little of it, but nothing like this.

This brings back terrible memories. I've done 8 of these. I eventually started unbolting the lateral links on the diff side so you don't have to touch the lateral link bolt at all. I maybe have had to loosen the top of the strut a bit, but there was just enough room to get the CV shaft out.

After watching all the youtube videos of these bolts and how horrible they are, I opted to drop my rear differential and remove the axle shaft that way. I did both rear bearings in about 45 minutes with no sawing, broken bolts, or replaced parts. Highly recommend trying it next time.

I recently test drove a 2006 Subaru Legacy from a used car dealer and I could hear humming from the rear wheels and it had a bad rear wheel bearing and also had to have brake pads and rotors and most likely calipers because if the brakes get worn down too far the calipers tend to freeze

Finally! A real world video on this job. I watch videos where the long bolt through the knuckle and controls arms zips right out. Where I live, that ain't NEVER, EVER, gonna happen. Thanks for the tip on the high end Sawzall blades!

can we loose the center bolts of the side bars? the purpose is separate the axle from bearing house. I mean take out bearing house with the bars and links attached, then use bearing tools to drive the bearing outer race out.

I know rust is a big problem there, but how is this car even legal to drive around? NY State seems to be really hot on emissions and using OEM Cats etc. but allows holes you can put your fist through?

Surprised someone would want to fix, or even still want to drive an old junker like that, seems like it's ready for the scrape pile, and as rusted out as it is, it still passes inspection?
