How To Change Your Front Brakes And Rotors (2013 Subaru Impreza WRX)

[@sliscotti86]

Nice video especially since you used easy to get hand tools. not everyone has the money, nor need, for air/electric tools. But just so people know.....the rotor has 2 small holes by the lug bolts. These are for taking 2 screws that fit and screwing them in to help push the rotor off without the need to use a hammer. I hope that came out clear enough.

[@wrxcked9633]

M8's to be exact. Cheers.

[@kenGPT]

Man you saved my life on that one bolt that's being blocked by the other one. That made it so much easier

[@Joel702006]

I usually clean rotor with a cleaner first to remove oil from production

[@jackhoot2419]

I like the fact you left in the little frustrations you encountered. We all know that any work on a vehicle has its hiccups.

[@Voodoodrul]

No.. Don't use hammers to remove a stuck rotor. Why does everyone suggest this? If a rotor won't come off, use the bolt holes in the rotor. They are specifically designed to pop a stuck rotor off. Use an M8x1.25 bolt, thread both in, and tighten them down. They will pop the rotor off the hub.

[@vagrantvideos1515]

You sir are a genius. These bolts are used for the stock intercooler mount if you need to find some without running to the store!

[@codydakota95]

The bolt that holds the brake hose to the strut will also work.

[@BigJake1873]

Who gives a fuck if your replacing the rotors anyway dingus

[@electroevolution5777]

If youre replacing the rotors... it doesnt matter. Its honestly faster too, which is a plus fir anyone especially those who are doing this at hoke for other people

[@Voodoodrul]

@@BigJake1873 sometimes they are stuck hard enough that you'd need to really caveman it to get it loose, and since there is already a mechanism to apply directed force here, might as well use it. Sometimes you need to use the bolts plus a hammer and rust dissolver. In those situations, I torque the bolts a little, tap with hammer, repeat.

[@Dirty-D]

Those are some crazy hotspots you got on your old rotors.

[@soundmason9656]

Great video...helped me change pads and rotors on my '16 WRX. The bolt holes in the rotor were a huge help. Also, for anyone doing the rear brakes, the rotor has a rubber plug in it that I had to reuse. Nothing was shipped to replace it with the parts I ordered.

[@jamiekelly9268]

Hi there at what location under your car are you jacking it up from with your trolley jack cheers

[@cuddleplumfish2040]

What pads and rotors do you recommend for the wrx?

[@TheeGr8Brandin0]

Same work on an 09 WRX as well I assume?

[@AZTech25]

do you know if this video will work for my 2013 subaru impreza base model not the wrx its just the normal impreza???

[@iCutWaffles]

Yes , I did it on mine, late answer I know but hope it helped

[@MrPlaidFace]

Real men use their bare hands to push the caliper piston's in.

[@Salvi_J2]

I personally shove it inbetween my asscheeks and clench as hard as i can

[@brandonhedges719]

[@joevargo22]

Trusty ole pipe 😂 my man. Great video. Thank you for this.

[@mtbingdude64]

So if I'm just doing brake pads I dont need to take the caliper all the way off? Just the bottom bolt and rotate the caliper upwards to replace the pads?

[@nitroman58v90]

Would you mind showing where you put the jack? I could not see that. Thanks.

[@electroevolution5777]

Dont forgot to lubricate your sliding pins for the caliper!

[@danschutz4085]

You should always crack the bleeder valve on the caliper when compressing the pistons. Forcing brake fluid backwards through the system can, and probably WILL damage your ABS components.

[@giovannaaraujo7184]

Nice video. I like it. I changed my brakes after this

[@pierrelubin4328]

I used a breaker bar to try to remove the 17mm caliper bolt but ended up breaking the bolt head. How can i fix this?

[@chuloyo650]

Damn I want a relationship as strong as that piece of string holding the calipers.

[@rmcguffie]

Thanks man so much for the information. I feel I am ready now! :-)

[@almuscomunicacao8743]

Good job man, Im Brazilian, and your video helps me a lot! And talking about this, only to see the difference: How much cust a subaru wrx in your country? Here in Brazil this is a expansive car, not everyone can buy, it costs R$ 75.000, that in USA dollars is aproximately US$ 23.800

[@gzoehobub]

That's about US$1000 cheaper than I paid for my 2011 wrx. 24,800.

[@zanezeitler1615]

Paid 26k for a brand new 2017 wrx

[@justin-hall]

Great video!

[@UH60xBLACKHAWK]

Where are you placing your Jack at when your lifting it up?

[@JayJay._.]

Pinch welds

[@only1semple]

Good stuff! Make another video man.

[@joshmills8354]

Thanks dude!

[@harrywu6932]

good video thanks .

[@most_weave65]

Where can I buy a similar breaker bar and drive set?

[@Joseph-eh4rs]

Amazon or harbour freight

[@Speedsocials]

I knew i wasnt doing anything wrong. I thought there was a bolt or something 😂

[@derspabvogel721]

He did this in so many pieces of clothing.

[@Speedsocials]

Bruh mine was ON there Too😂😂😂

[@BillWinterberg]

Nice video, thanks for posting!

[@1theheightofparadise]

im so nervous to work on my car after I couldn't get my wheels off without my lugs just snapping. Last time I tried it was super stiff and I'll be honest I got scared and stopped lol

[@NicholasLeader0]

Impact wrenches are supposedly easier on hardware than breaker bars

[@sipho.tography]

nice jacket. #staystrapped

Goddamn World Rally Blue is a sexy, sexy colour.

[@joelauseng8991]

Those 17mm bracket bolts are a bitch!

[@alexluquez7369]

Why gardeners gloves lol?

[@closetraid]

can i raid your closet

[@octap19]

You don't have an idea of what you are doing. I've seen all these clowns on youtube try to do brakes, and they do sloppy jobs. I recommend take a professional training.

[@jellyfishmoodlamp]

What did he do wrong?
