Subaru Outback - Video tutorial

Model: Subaru Outback MK 3, BP, BL - Years 2003-2009
Part: Drive shaft
Operation: How to remove and replace the drive shaft on our vehicle

In this tutorial we will describe how to replace a damaged or worn drive shaft. Let's start with removing the wheel. After that we notice that the brake disc is connected to the drive shaft via a fixing bolt. Now with the use of a socket wrench we remove that nut. Now that the drive shaft is slightly freer, let's start by unhooking the disc from the shock absorber. After detaching the sensors and the brake system pipes using a spring support we try to keep the disc and caliper stable for the removal of the drive shaft. After having disconnected everything using an extractor, we release the semi-shaft from the differential by levering it. Now that we have removed the old drive shaft, let's take the new one. When the phase is complete, we let the drive shaft enter the differential and with well-aimed hammer blows we make it reach the stop. After doing this operation, we notice that at the end we find a new nut which will subsequently firmly fix the drive shaft to the brake disc. Now that this phase is complete we just need to put everything back into the shock and everything will work perfectly
