Holy snuff ... I fixed my '96 Subaru's brakes ... it had been sitting 40ish days and the brake cylinder seized up it seems, but as a result of doing all this stuff, I'm also now comfortable changing out the pads in the future. Just basically made $300 and who knows how much more on brake service. Incredible. YT rocks, many thanks ! :)

[@maribaquir2082]

Great tutorial! Explained so well that I'm excited to change my own brakes now! Thanks!

[@zorvn5744]

This is by far best video and super convenient! Less than 3 mins! You sir are a pro!!! 👏🏼

[@AlexanderZlatkovski]

[@CarsNToys]

[@trainlinezoo]

[@aaroncook1630]

Thanks for giving all the torque numbers!

[@CarsNToys]

+Aaron Cook Sure man. Glad to help.

[@unclealig]

one thing which could be also checked is the free and smooth movement of the caliper guide pins.

[@alexxx3958]

And lube

[@paulrylan3179]

Excellent video, I did it myself and still alive after the bedding part lol thank you everything went well

[@c0ntag10n]

I really needed you to go over the shim situation, bro

[@YakkoFigueroa]

Dear Sir. Your video and techniques are very clean and simple. Thank you so much.

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. I'm glad they can help you.

[@patw5899]

Great video, I don't have much experience with cars so I though that I could retract the piston the same way I would by turning the pistons. Didn't realize you were suppose to do it by pushing it in.

[@patw5899]

I thought it would be the same way as my 240sx

[@CarsNToys]

Pat W You are correct. Some cars require the piston to be turned. But no need on this Subaru. Just push in the piston and that"s it.

[@MarcosT2391]

Congrats on making such a great video! Very detailed and informative.

[@CarsNToys]

Marcos Sanchez Thanks man.

[@DoctaDMM]

Great Video! Changed both rear pads in my '12 Impreza in about 90 minutes thanks to your helpful video.

Take the brake slides out of the boots and grease those

[@michaelbullington3182]

Disclaimer...be sure to "bed" your brakes. Perfect timing...video doesn't drag on and on. Think ya kind of went a bit excess on the grease coverage area.

[@unclealig]

if i have seen that correct, you are just jacking up one wheel. which gear the car is in during a rotor replacement? neutral, 1st gear? i am asking to find out, if the jacked up wheel can be turned in order to set up the e-brake inside the rotor, when the car is in first gear (manual transmission)? thx

[@jinhomui7713]

Very detailed! Thank you so much!

[@CarsNToys]

JinHo Mui Welcome

[@shrimp299]

I was wondering if this would work for a 2011 wrx? I'm sure it's the same process but was wondering if it was the same torque specs?

[@bryanpolden1587]

Greece on the back of the pad?...why?

[@kirkguerrero8958]

Hi, nice video Sir. Is it okay not to bleed it after you change the brake pads? Also do you have a video on how to change the rear rotor please.

[@CarsNToys]

Hi Kirk. No need to bleed due to no air entered the brake system. I do have a rear rotor video. Just search under my page or my website. Cheers.

[@MrWinyu777]

Thank you .

[@CarsNToys]

Welcome

[@iiDefied]

So, if I need to replace the rotor too, I just remove the caliper mounting bracket in addition to these steps and that's it?

[@CarsNToys]

iiDefied Pretty much. I'll actually have a video for that most likely by tomorrow.

[@iiDefied]

CarsNToys Ok. I'll wait for that.

[@iiDefied]

Not sure if you said it, but make sure people know to have the parking brake off.

[@iiDefied]

@Suhh Cuhh because you won't get the rotor off with it on.

[@dildobaggins1109]

Are the front and rear pads the same size if i bought two boxes of pads for the front can i use the extra set on the back?

[@willhynes9839]

no

[@joegooch311]

Most of the subaru's have 2 piston in the front and mono in the back. The rear pads are smaller.

[@3obardThawn3]

You just saved me $661.00 usa

[@jesuschrist9597]

you can just loosen one bolt on the caliber and take one completely out and now it’s on a swivel

[@duanevtv272]

Caliper clips/pins are probably seized. Haven’t seen him take it out. Maybe it’s not important but idk why techs do it then (trust me, I am one)

[@wackpackxj]

Why the fuck is it so hard to get my rear pad in like I’m wedging it in there? It does NOT move freely

[@JR-gq3re]

is this the same as the front?

[@CarsNToys]

+Burt Macklin Here you go...kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4PEnpJprLCgeLs

[@JR-gq3re]

you're awesome!

[@CarsNToys]

+Burt Macklin Glad to help. cheers
