will 05+ legacy rear wheel bearings fit my BH?

they look almost identical but the difference is the 05+ bearings come with the hub pressed in already as opposed to the pre-05 bearing where u need to press in your old/new hub. it would save time and possibly money if it fits.

anyone ever tried it or checked it out?

I would have thought that if it was a direct swap, they (Subaru) would have superceded the part number.

Why not fit the gen 4 alloy arms? That will allow you to fit the gen 4 bearing and drive flange.
