well I put off having it done/doing it and now I've parked my 91 Legacy awd with bad cv joints.
I'd change them myself but am concerned about the "special tools" referred to.
It looks like the tool to pull the hub off the axle is a straightforward puller.
but what is the thing used to press the hub back onto the axle?
The dealer wants nearly $200 each for axles (new) but I saw a site offering "factory rebuilt" for about half that with $65 core charge.
I see aftermarket "new" axles for $75 or so, and aftermarket "rebuilt" in the $50s.
My subie is at 230,000 miles and when it finally gives out I'll just replace it with something else, so price is a bit important.
what's the wisdom here?
TIA
