[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 3882319, member: 46636"] Yesterday I decided to replace the front hubs on my wife’s 2013 Subaru Outback. One of the rear ones went bad about 30,000 miles ago, so I replaced both rear ones at that time. My wife complained about what she thought was a growling noise at certain speeds, so I decided after driving the car myself; one of the front wheel bearings was probably getting worn. The driver’s side hub came out relatively easy with some pounding with a hammer and prying with a pry bar. The passenger side hub I could not get to budge and could not get a gap started to use a pry bar while beating the heck out of the hub. So I went to YouTube and found the video in the link found below. I used this method and finally got the hub to budge enough to get a gap started that enabled me to insert a pry bar and finally beat the sucker out. So, if anyone decides to replace a one piece hub/wheel bearing assembly and find it rusted stuck, you might try the trick in the video and save yourself a bunch work and frustration.
