g/box front driveshaft splines
did an oil change today and while underthe car, I noticed the splines coming out of the gearbox that the front driveshafts connect to move in an out a little and up and down changing the angle slightly. I am guessing the bearings on the output shafts are worn and need replacing.
Can this be done in the car or does the box need to be removed?

ok, have now worked out that it's the front diff backlash that needs adjusting as it's set too lose, the bearings don't need replacing, but, there is a special tool that is needed to do this which ive seen on the net for $112 USD.
annyone have this tool I could borrow one weekend, or know where I could get one in the UK cheap ? tool part number is 499787000 and looks like this:- https://subaru.spx.com/Detail.aspx?id=168 it slides over teh output spline and rotates the plate which it protrudes from screwing it in/out to adjust tightness

thats what I thought but i've read on the net that the bits that stick out on the plate break off !
have yuo tried it like that? think Iwill give it a go rather than fork out for the tool as it's a bit pricey for something I will use only once
