Seriously, thank you so much, I’ve done brakes a half dozen times or so, and got stuck so badly on that Outback rear sensor, pointing out the small details that will hang somebody up really helps them out

Do I need the actual caliper depresser kit, or can I do it with a C-clamp and the old pads?

@andrewchua4875 3 ай бұрын

You need the brake caliper compressor wind back tool. It does not compress like the old piston, it rotates is back in place. I rented mine from auto zone. But I see them on sale at Amazon now for like around $20-$25

@andrewchua4875 24 күн бұрын

Technically you don’t need to as it should slide back in easily.but if you do, remember to pump the brakes a few times before driving to pick up the slack.

Nice video. Thank you! Ive been looking into doing this for a while, since buying a 2022 outback wilderness. Owned numerous other vehicle types in the past and the process is a breeze. Unfortunately the newer high tech cars have a number of sensors. From reading other sites, it appears the outback needs to be put into the brake serive mode through the ecu with a obd scanner. Did you have any problems with brake error codes on your dash after your service?

No, it was fine after I did the work. I only made sure the electronic brakes were off prior to the work.

Hi Ben, the advice I found before servicing the brakes is to make sure the electronic parking brake is off. Remember for safety, place chucks on the front wheels.

Did you check the rotors for wear? Did you have them resurfaced? I have been replacing disc brake pads for several decades and, except for a Dodge Ram I owned, all rotors had to be replaced because they are made to go below minimum thickness when the pads are replaced. They could not be resurfaced.

@@andrewchua4875 I did the rears last week and measured the rotors and they were about 1/8 inch above the minimum thickness. They were running true so I left them on the car.

You didn't mention using the silicone lubricant on the pins. The caliper moves on them as the pads wear.

@andrewchua4875 2 ай бұрын

All I had to do was make sure the electronic parking brake was off. I believe that if it is engaged, you will not be able to turn to compress the pistons. I mentioned if you have resistance while turning them, stop as you are fighting with the actuators and may cause damage.

@OmegaRQACH Ай бұрын

You can remove the parking brake component with two allen key bolts. Once it is removed the caliper piston turns MUCH EASIER. No need for the brake service mode.

@@andrewchua4875 Thanks for the video, however, I now have real trouble. I'm definitely not here to talk junk, just to share my experience. I followed the instructions exactly as you have them. I didn't connect to a scan tool, nor did I figure out the service mode. I can confirm that the parking brake was off when I started the work. After I finished the work, I started the car and tried to get it to move and the rear brakes were completely locked up. Ultimately, I damaged a bunch of stuff in the front end trying to get the car to move. I've been around cars and this kind of work my whole life. It's not my first brake job. But it's a different game with these newer cars. I'm glad it was easy for you. Not for me. The computerization of the brakes did me in. For those looking to do this job, it's not the mechanical stuff that's hard, just make sure you have the computer parts sorted out so you don't end up with a mess like I have. Thanks.

@andrewchua4875 Жыл бұрын

Sorry that happened to you. Can you share how to put the car on service mode? And did that fix the pressure? I googled common causes that brakes lose pressure and it’s either a leak or the seals on the master cylinder is compromised. May need to bring your car into the shop for a check up.

@crabjoe Жыл бұрын

@@andrewchua4875 It's the electric parking brake (EPB). You need to put it into service mode so it retracts. If you don't do this, as you did, you may not be able to compress your piston and or break your caliper. The cheap way to retract your EPB is to pull the cover off the EPB and turn the bolt to retract the brake. Another way is to use some alligator clips connected to a 12v battery and touch the 2 pins on the connector to retract the parking brake.

@wildmanofthewynooch7028 Жыл бұрын

You need a bi directional scan tool like a Topdon Phoenix elite to put it in service mode and you don’t have to disconnect the EPB.

@yancheng846 3 ай бұрын

i am guessing that's why in another video the ebrake parking actuator has to be removed completely before using the retractor tool to spin the caliper back - assuming you don't wanna buy another scan tool to put ebrake in service mode

I hope that it is not just a scissors jack that is holding that Subi up while you are doing your brake job. I had a stock scissors jack literally collapse when I was changing a tire on a Renault Dauphine.
