Subaru Outback Strut, Lower Control Arm, and CV Axle Replacement 

HELLO FROM MIAMI, I have a Subaru Legacy 2003 2.5 L and I have the same project like yours, but the way thanks for your kind explanation and the effort to do this video, good job. greetings

The piece you were taping and hammering is a tie rod end. You can smack the knuckle on the spindle instead of the threads on it. And it will fall down out.

dude he'll of a job I've got to do the same exact thing to my car. take pride.i have 03 subaru outback same color

You are the man! Glad to see you continue to work on your car! You can also put a smaller screwdriver in the rotor vanes before taking off the caliper and torque against it. Works every time. Also hammer where the joint goes though, leave the nut loose but still on, and wack it hard. You can use a pitman arm puller which has rigid arms instead of the puller

Don't forget a wheel alignment and thank you for the video take care.

Nice work! Where are you setting your jack stands below the Subaru? Are the pinch welds simply centered in the jack stands or are you placing the stands closer to the center of the car? Also what length is that flex head ratchet did you use to break the 32mm wheel nut? Is that the same ratchet you use for the head bolts on your head gasket replacement job? Because the size/length you had for the 180 degree and 90 turns of the head bolts seemed to fit perfectly in your engine compartment. Thanks and keep posting the great Subaru videos! Appreciate the paper bag trick for keeping everything organized in that old video too.

Thank you!
