Oh shit. I’m sorry I don’t know the ins and outs of YOUR car…my fault. The STIs don’t have a transfer case you need to deal with when doing the clutch, I’m confusing it with the EVO. And FYI, I’ve probably done more clutch jobs than you have removed bolts from your car. Sorry for trying to help though, I now realize how useless most of the shit I post is thanks to you. Guess I’ll go back to legos. I see you are doing well in the car world though smokin them non supercharged cobalts. Keep up the good work.
edit: to further confirm your original answer to your question though…Don is right on the money. The STIs have regular slide in axels, and the WRXs have the roll pins. So back to the first 3 words I originally posted, pickel fork ftw. Apparently this is the first time you’ve ever removed a halfshaft.
