Pliers, to remove stubborn ABS sensor from hub. Some source of light so you can see what you’re doing. PB Blaster or your preferred flavor of penetration oil. Marker to mark drive shaft and rear diff alignment.

Various pry bars and/or screw drivers (they serve the same purpose, right) It has served me well and even zipped off the axle nuts (torque spec is something like 176 ft/lbs.) Impact Gun! I have a cheaaappppp battery operated impact from Amazon. Yours might be different if you’ve removed/replaced the axle or axle nuts in the past. đ9mm-this will undo the 4 major bolts holding the subframe to the vehicle, and some of the bolts holding the differential to the subframe.You will also need a 17mm wrench to hold the nut or bolt on most of these. đ7mm-this will undo most of the suspension related things.Wobbly extension to make it easier to reach drive shaft bolts.đ0mm to undo the miscellaneous bolts for the e-brake cable, ABS sensor, etc.Once it’s off the vehicle, you can transfer things around as needed. It could even be the same for the 2011-2013 Matrix, but I have no idea as those were only sold in Canadia.Įssentially, the easiest way to do this, is to drop the subframe, diff, and all the suspension and hub assembly components, excluding struts, all as one unit. It's also likely this procedure is basically the same for 2009-2010 AWD Vibe/Matrices, as well as the GT/XRS of those years. As always, it's not my fault if you break things, cause a forest fire, etc. I probably forgot to take some pictures, didn't use the right tools. Good news?! You can replace it yourself with this fancy how-to. Bad news?! Car isn't worth that, so many send them to the scrap yard. The rear subframe on the 03-06 AWD Vibe/Matrix is notorious for rotting out.
