palfer Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi All- the rear bearings in my 97 impreza outback need to be replaced. I disassembled the knuckles yesterday which was worse than an awful experience. The casualties being the long lateral link bolt, the bushing near its nut, the ABS sensor bolt and I can't separate the steel brake line where it threads into the cylinder. Other than that everything came out easy ---NOT. Questions: 1. Can I hammer a new bushing into the lateral link with it still on the car? 2. I drilled out what is left of the ABS bolt to be able to remove the sensor. Assuming I need to drill out the rest of the bolt and fasten with a new nut/bolt upon reinstalling, correct? 3. Thoughts on the brake line? Its nearly stripped (even with a flare wrench). Vise Grips? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Must not be a AZ Car. Get a use lateral link While your there get a used rear hub and brake line and be done with it. $40 or so at a You pull and pay yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
