i tried changing them and snapped 1 hub, got another hub coming

when i got my hub in vice evan with 1/4 of the hub broke off i still could,nt knock the ball joint off ..

is there a trick like take hub off drill a hole behide it to stick a punch in to knock it out ??????

what a really bad design on subaru

 

Puller usually does the trick

 

evan with a puller i can,t see how to clamp arms on to it ...

just seen a video on good old you tube he snapped the bolt common fault,he drilled it out put the ball joint back onto the wishbone stuck a massive bar intween and pulled it out that way ..

 

Undo the pinch bolt & remove open the hub slightly keep spraying & tapping
Rost of ice works well on the rust & will penetrate

Just got to keep at it m8 /

 

The best way is to build yourself the pulley shown on the link:

And youse a blowtorch to heat up a knuckle. First soak the ball joint in wd40 and put pulley on and put some tension on it, then heat up the hub ( be reasonable, if you heat it too much you can destroy hub as it is a cast, or bearing) then just finish with a pulley until it will not pop out.

 

Carl, I already told you what the problem is. It's because it's a sh1tty UK turbo
get yourself a proper classic and they just pop out

 

your a cuXt i just sold your 2 pots to fund my sh1tty uk turbo

 

i needed this a few days ago lol

thanks

 

You talking about the front lower hub ball joint to hub? When I changed mine I split the hub from the arm with the ball joint still in the hub, loosened the bolt holding the joint in, drilled a a hole in a price of steel, put the ball joint through the hole do the nut up and hit the steel bar with a hammer and it pops out

 

That's ok, I'll just remove your 2 pots and have those instead
And then you can refurb my 4 pots for my troubles

Anyway, where the hell are ya. We've got work to do today
