this weekend i was out of town with a pretty basic toolbox in my trunk. my front passenger CV axle blew up at the wheel end. i pulled the CV axle and stub out of the transaxle and limped to harbor freight for a breaker bar and 1 1/4" socket. then to advance auto parts for the CV axle. with $120 in parts and tools, and the help of this video, i fixed it myself in a bank parking lot on a sunday afternoon 100 miles from home. Thank you.

Good video, but just FYI, according to the service manual, the axle nut should be torqued with the wheel off the ground and the brake applied. It states this is because the bearing could be damaged during the torquing process. I highly doubt that would happen, but figured I would mention it.

Great video! Just wanted to mention (and you did it right) - apparently the axle nut should only be loosened and not removed when the wheel in on the car as it may damage the wheel bearings to remove it completely when loaded with the weight of the car. So, only remove it when the car is jacked and wheel is off, and don't short cut by taking it completely off when the wheel is on the ground.

+Malcolm Shedden yeah i have always heard that you can actually damage the interior teeth where thr axle slides in, I never seem to have gotten them off with the wheels off the ground. I always break them with all lugnets on then jack it up and remove the hubnut. I think it can really do some damage but i never noticed anything to worry about. Good luck getting a rusty old one off jacked up even with a torch.

Great video. I've only replaced a few CV axles on Subarus, but following this method was way faster and easier for me than past experiences. I've always taken out the ball joint, which most other videos show. That takes longer and is more complicated. However, the ball joint not removed does make it a little more awkward to snake the new CV axle into place, but it's still very doable, and overall it's still much faster and easier than dealing with the ball joint (in my limited experiences).

Nice clear video instructions. I would like to add a couple of little tips, having just done this task yesterday. I did the left side first and had a lot of problems getting the axle out of the hub once loose. If you move the inboard side way up and back it comes out very easily. The other problem I had (and a huge time waster) was putting the roll pin in. The holes would not line up on the splines. I tried tapering the end on a bench grinder, squeezing it in a vise, and ended up only getting it 3/4's in after much hammering. On the right side I had the same issue with the roll pin, though this time I rotated the output shaft 180 degrees and the pin went in easy peasy. the whole thing took 25 minutes on the right side. I went back to the other side, rotated 180, and the pin went straight in. Thanks.

A couple things, make sure you've got the roll pin holes 100% correct or you'll be pounding all day and need a new roll pin. Hint: 180 degrees off won't work even though you'll see light through the hole. Also, I've usually done these by only removing the camber bolt and letting the hub tilt forward. This really is my favorite generation of Legacy/Outback to work on, before things started getting complicated.

I have an European 2007 Outback 3.0 5EAT and I wanted to change both front CV Axle. I bought aftermarket SKF VKJC 7515 which is the equivalent of my 28321AG022. The change was made in a subaru shop and they did not noticed anything. When I wanted to get my car I noticed that immediately after putting the car in drive, all the car started to shake a lot even if I was keeping my foot on the brake pedal... They were puzzled and said it might be from the transmission mount which might be the problem. They ordered that mount and I drove the car shaking for 3 weeks until the mount arrived. But before changing the mount, I asked to put back the old original axle. Surprise, surprise, mostly for them, no shaking any more... I measured the axle compressed and the SKF one was 5mm longer... This should be the problem? Are there other axle better than SKF (except original ones that are hard to find and very expensive)? What do you recommend?

I have a question for you. Let's say you are doing this repair AND replacing the struts in the process. How can you be sure of where the camber bolt is supposed to be when you can't match it up to a mark that obviously you can't make on the strut? Can you just mark the bolt on, say, a 12 o'clock position and then bolt it back into the same with the new/used strut installed? I have a 2002 Outback and I'm swapping parts from a donor car. Trying to replace 307k mileage parts with 127k mileage parts on the cheap, and I didn't want to HAVE to do an alignment if I could get away with it. Thanks!

Thanks to your clear video i just replaced both cv axles myself on my 03 Outback...only thing is now the driver's side rotor seems loose, checked and lubed the brake caliper, but almost like im missing a part...or the rotor got warped from driving on a bad cv ...or..? Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted...

The rotor is loose? Most likely the caliper pressure released a bit. The rotor will be locked to the hub when the wheel is installed and the lugs are torqued. Pump the brake pedal a few times, once all back together, to make sure it firms up. Probably all it is.

Did you torque the axle nut? on my 04 Outback it's 162 ft-lb

So in theory could you remove the front cvs and make it rear wheel drive only instead of front wheel drive? Or do you need the front cvs to keep the oil in the gearbox

Well, there's only suppose to be remove the roll pin and then the axle. Stubs are supposed to stay in the transmission. As a rule.

Thanks for the video. Two questions. Where do you purchase rebuilt axles? Have changed so many of these due to poor quality. Second question is are you concerned with the car losing alignment doing it this way? Thanks

+Robert Ferraro I buy my axles from Advance Auto Parts. Never had an issue with any axle. The axles are 100% new units, not rebuilds. And haven't had any issues with the alignment. Just take the time to mark the camber bolt and you'll be close enough on it.

I bought a Cardone brand for $43 from Amazon and it now has 21k miles on it with no problems. At that price, if I had to replace a boot, I would just replace the whole assembly!

So I recently did a transmission swap on my 01 Outback Sedan and I came into a bit of a pickle. How do you remove the little sub axles from the transmission because the new trans doesn’t have them. At first I thought I had to buy different axles but recently figured out that the stubs come out. Any advice?

So I know one of the CV axle joints from the back of my Forester is gone but I am not sure which one. If it clicks when I turn left which one is it? Thanks and great videos!

Best way to find out is to go to an empty parking lot with a friend. Drive around slowly and have them listen to see if they can pinpoint the sound. If not, do a visual check, see if you have a torn boot. Grab the axle and try to twist it, see if it has play in the joints. If that is still inconclusive, tear down each side, remove the axle, check movement by hand. It's not an exact science unfortunately. Sometimes it is best to change them in pairs if you can afford it. If one fails from mileage, the other most likely isn't far away from failure either.

Thanks, glad you found it useful. Just making sure you have the correct sized roll pin punch to remove and install the roll pin and making sure to mark the camber bolt is all I can really think of.

I used this video to learn how to do my front axles. However, I can't find a video from anyone on the rears for this car. Do you have one, or know where I can find directions?
