    Hi Everyone,

    I'm pretty new to the forum but I'ved own a few Subarus.
    I have a '00 BRP 2.5 RS sedan and the right rear wheel bearing has gone bad.
    I have purchased the replacement wheel bearing (updated part) and the seals.
    Unfortunately, I do not have access to a press so I am unable to do this wheel bearing?

    Are there any technicians or experts that could perform this service on my vehicle?
    I have no problems taking my car a dealer but it's difficult for me to get to one with my work schedule since they do not provide loaners for this type of service.


    Thanks in advance!

    Eugene.

    I have the same issue. I need to replace one of the wheel bearings on the front of the car. I don't have a press either. A friend of mine replaced his bearings by himself. I'll try and contact him for more info. Maybe we can do a bearing install day or something.

    Sounds good. On my Legacy Outback.. the rears were easy because it was a cartridge style where you literally unbolt the bearing housing and remove the hub and you're good to go. This car.. not so much!
