  3. Transmission and Driveline
    I'm doing the passenger-side front axle on my 1998 Forester. I was able to punch out the old roll pin and get the new axle in however I'm struggling with getting the roll pin as I have no space to swing my hammer to hit the punch. I did the driver-side before with much less hassle as the exhaust...

  9. Transmission and Driveline
    Hey Guys, so random question. Whenever I put my '14 xt into reverse from park it’ll make a tap noise (sounds similar to two sockets hitting each other or a cricket’s chirp) once the power transfers to the wheels, and it’ll do it going from reverse to drive and vice Versa. It’ll also do it when...

    I'm about to change out the rear wheel hub on both sides** of my 2.5i Limited Forester (mileage: 37,025), but want to be 100% certain of the correct torquing procedure and torque spec before I start. I THINK you tighten the rear axle nuts to 140 ft-lbs (and the front ones to 162 ft-lbs) but...
