My thrust bearing needs replacing in my 2002 Impreza RS (2.5L)

Could someone please shed some light on how to go about this as i dont know much about the transmission setup in the 2002's, also any tips i would be able to follow for the process?

Thanks

You can change the bearing without removing the box completely. Undo the box from the engine, undo the GB mounts and remove the tail shaft.
Then with a trolley jack supporting the Box you can move the box back 2-3 inches which will be enough room to replace the bearing.
I can't remember if removing the drive shafts is necessary.....
