Why Are Wheel Bearings so Hard to Remove!! Subaru Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Replacement At Home!

Today we are replacing the rear wheel bearing hub on this Subaru Impreza with 161k miles on the odometer. We will do this with basic hand tools. I wouldn't say this is a hard job. This is a very time consuming job. My local shop quoted almost $800 (per wheel!) to replace. You can do this at home but give yourself sufficient time to do so. Tools and torque specs listed below. Cheers.
