Anyone know if it's possible to get the internals of the inner joint of a front Subaru B4 drive shaft ?
I'm trying to see weather to rebuild the OEM shaft assembly but been told by my local drive shaft repair shop that you can't buy the internal bearings of these shafts.

I was told by the mechanic to keep the OEM inner because they are a much better quality. He said never chuck out the subaru safts unless they have actual damage.

Once you take the inner boot off, there will be a retaining clip holding the joint on. Use a small flat screw driver to pop it out and then you'll be able to slide the joint off

Yeh its been striped and taken to the drive shaft place up the road. Sadly the shaft had been sitting in the shed too long and one of the trunnion rings were lost, and been told you cant buy them anywhere?
