Subaru Repair: 1999 Subaru Outback front wheel seal, spx tools, flange gaskets


Question
Help!! My 99 Subaru Outback has leaky front axle seals.  Where can I find the tool to remove the seals?

Answer
WHOAAA.If your talking about the front differential side seals and o-rings be very careful doing this yourself.If you under or worse overtighten the the assemblies that house the side seals and o-rings you can do serious differential damage.This is how you establish bearing preload on the carrier assembly.Any ways the tool can be bought from Subaru spx tools but i think you may spend as much on the tool as you would having someone else do the repair.At our shop its under $400.00 including the seals and exhaust flange gaskets.
