Rear Wheel Bearing Repair 02-07 Subaru WRX/STi

Rear Wheel Bearing:

Remove the two shoe hold down springs by using the proper tool for drum brakes, or just use some needle nose and press down on the spring while twisting to get the plate and spring off the pin. Remove the Primary and Secondary return springs, along with the shoe guide plate. Remove the bottom spring which is the adjusting spring. Now everything will kind of fall apart on you, but down worry later on I will tell you how to assemble it back together.

Remove the two shoes along with the strut piece and spring. The lever has a notch on the bottom that holds the parking brake cable onto. You have to compress the long spring that’s on the cable to separate it from the lever. Fish the cable from the back of the Backing plate and let it dangle. Set everything aside neatly (Neatly as in aside somewhere where it wont get messed with. You don’t want to lose any small parts). Now these next three steps don’t relay matter on what order, just as long as they disconnect front the knuckle housing.
