Can anyone help me determine how to replace the rear wheel bearings in an
Impreza TS 2.5 ? Specifically how does one pull the whole hub off? Or do I
need to? Can I just pull the stud holder out?
Thanks,

It's lots of fun I just did it myself. I don't know how to determine
the size, but what I do know is that you start by taking apart the
wheel area, along w/ the big knuckle down there (bearing should be
inside) You'll have to take off that big center nut with a breaker bar,
took me a good 10 min just to loosen it. After that, loosen up the
allen bolts and you should be able to take off the hub. Get a gear
puller to removed all the bearings things, clean it up a smidge, make
sure nothings wrong and put it back together. Remember to grease the
bearings before you put them on, I never have trusted the guys to do it
right. If you have trouble pulling the bearing off or putting it back
on, call around to the local chops, its likely one of them will have a
bearing press. Good luck!
