I looked into it... it requires a few expensive specialized tools (like extractors and presses), tons of time, and lots of little parts, like lock nuts and the like that can't be reused, so they must be replaced. Since I can't find a definitive list of all the parts and a good "hot to", and since I don't have the 6 hours per corner to do the work, I'm unfortunately gonna have to leave it to the pros.
The shame of it is that if you have the tools, time and experience, I don't think it's really that expensive parts wise.
At least at Indy, I know they'll do it right, and they even make sure to step up and use the better synthetic grease when they pack the bearings since they know Subaru puts the cheap shit in there at the factory. These are the same guys that rebuilt my CV joints on my front axles with the better grease in there too.
Indy Auto: you get what you pay for... and the guys that work there are cool to boot!
