2019-2023 Subaru Forester Rear EPB brakes replacement

[@stevehunton6001]

You are the bomb! Worked like a charm and saved my bacon. Thanks!

[@dmons24]

old rotor looks absolutely good. We doing some turning on the lathe removing about 0.1mm and its ready to last another 50-80k km. Of caurse you need to measure it thickness and check is above minimal allowed. Turning costs for pair rotors is about 1/2 of cost of single rotor - so it makes sense to do it.

You rule. I am getting ready to change my rears on a 2020 forester. I knew about EPB but not like this. Update. Worked like a champ!

I have an ascent, will the same procedure apply to the EPB ?

[@AdenMott]

Thanks man! I've got less than 50,000 on my 2021 Forester, and I live in the mountains and the brakes are shot. This video took out the anxiety I've been having about doing the work myself. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the tutorial. Using the E12 socket to reset the EPB did the trick. No need to place the vehicle in maintenance mode. Fortunately, the cap screws securing the EPB to the caliper only needed an allen socket and the torque is so low that an allen key would be enough to get that portion of the job done. Good looking out for us Ax, much appreciated brother!

[@Sonders47]

Thank you man! The video is great. lol, you made it more enjoyable with your personality. You made it look super simple.

[@luisborja905]

Definitely did the trick! I got stuck with caliper not lowering any further, the rotating of the actuator got the job done. Autozone rents the caliper lowering tool free of charge if anyone else is DIY. Thanks again though appreciate the video 👍🏽👍🏽

I was looking for a video for the Outback....though this is a Forrester I assume it's the same or similar. Best video I've seen.

Wondering if it will work on my 2022 Outback . Anybody knows. Thanks. Appreciate this.

[@josephcalcavecchia2840]

Very nice video Thank you!

[@danielpadlo2401]

Great video

[@Captn-Stan]

Your bolts came out soooo easy, I needed breaker bar to loosen. My 2019 had no ratchet room for bottom 17mm bolt, had to use crescent and hammer. Need short Allen #7 for top caliper. Coils in the way when on stands. Guess you have better clearance on a lift.

That’s what I want to know w/o use scan tool to reset. Thanks

[@btzemat210]

So you don't have to bleed the brakes?

[@thomasgailey99]

Watched a few videos and you were the only one to use the e12 to rotate the “thing” does this make pushing the piston easier, is it an alternative to use a clamp and not the piston tool?

[@AxtuoAx]

Definitely, in order to push the piston, you have to spin the caliper first.

[@thomasgailey99]

@@AxtuoAx Thanks for the quick reply man. Your video was by far the best. Can’t wait to see what else you got for the subies

[@jimvenizelos4649]

Alternative? Carefully rotate caliper piston with channel lock pliers, a few turns, be careful not to damage rubber bellows. Then compress piston with C-clamp like the old days. Go easy so as not to break plastic EPB. Turn piston some more, then clamp some. Alternate until piston completely retracted. Continue assembling pads & caliper.

[@AxtuoAx]

You got it....

[@oldtimer6528]

Rear brakes at 38K miles! I'm over 100K on mine and they're still the originals.

[@ananda_miaoyin]

52K and I am doing my rears now. I live in the mountains.

[@kneepopper94]

E12 is basically 12 mil socket?

[@stevehunton6001]

E for external torx.

[@yasserfeliciano4891]

Do you leave the e brake engage when changing it or off?

[@AxtuoAx]

[@tommydeering8960]

You should be a teacher

[@stevehauser4500]

What's the reason for taking off the parking brake motor, was it to reset it ?
