I am so grateful I found this fantastic video. I was shocked when the auto store quoted me $830 dollars to do this exact procedure (including a $230 electronic brake "recalibration" fee) and am so happy I came across this video. Easy to follow instructions, and allowed a car dummy like me to do the job myself for a fraction of the price I was quoted. I figure you saving me 600 dollars is definitely worth a like and a subscription. Thanks again!

Glad I could help

Recalibration fee... I think somebody was trying to take advantage of you

@frugalpower1165 Год назад

I did the job today. This is by far the best video. One my passenger rear I could not release the power plug to the electronic brake so I dissembled it while plugged in. I RE greased it after taking it apart. So as an experiment it worked as well. But the caliper retraction tool made it the easiest like the video showed. Great job on this.

Rotor on backwards to clean is a genius idea! Thanks for the tip!!

If you don't have a rear caliper winder, you can just use the tips of heavy needle nose pliers and pressure to wind/push it in.

@samtime3803 6 месяцев назад

You can, but renting the proper tool at a part store tends to be free and will save you a lot of pain and anger

@jaynedixon1237 2 года назад

Greg from Melbourne, Australia. I have a 2016 Outback diesel Premium and need to do rear pads (123k kilometres). This video and instructions make what looked like a difficult task much easier. The only thing I had to change is the compression of the piston back into the caliper body as I don't have the special tool. I used a set of multi=grip pliers and GENTLY screwed the piston back in. Brilliant video. Thanks again from Down Under.

Great video, had my rear brake pads replaced at the dealership in Denver for $380 plus another $170 to replace and bleed the brake fluid, next time I’ll do it myself, thanks to you.

@josephlau944 Год назад

This is probably the clearest and best video with replacing rear brake pads for cars with the electronic parking brake. I have a 2019 Subaru Forester, and I think this videos of replacing rear brake pads also applies. Thankyou so much especially with the reasons why the electronic brake motor needs to be disengaged while pushing the piston back into the caliper. Joseph

doing my research and so far have seen few other videos doing the caliper piston retract without removing the ebrake actuator part off first , and on those video seeing a few comments about losing brake pressure even some damages, i am guess this is the critical part?

Why did you need to take the e-brake actuator off? You also should be more careful when taking the wheels off so you don’t mess up a stud. I know because I’ve done that and then had to replace a stud. The threads are very soft on Subaru studs.. Now I hold the wheel on when I loosen the last lug nut and then carefully lift the wheel off.

Putting my caliper back on was really snug. You looked like it had a lot more play in it. Did I do something wrong?

I wanna know this as well, just finished one side after watching his vid.

@keanusalmon3671 Год назад

After giving it a test drive I then set the parking brakes and they automatically calibrate themselves. I also never used the special tool he had in the vid, I just use a long nose pliers to turn it and use the regular brake piston compressor tool and it works no issues so far

@5jjt 3 года назад

Thank you very much for making this video and showing how to do this without a scan tool. I have to change my mother's rear brakes, and she lives 160 miles away, so I needed to know if there was anything funky with the electronic brake making this anything different than a standard rear brake job. BTW, I assume you didn't have to disconnect the negative cable first. BTW#2, how bad is it to change the serp belt on a 2016 Legacy with a 2.4L? I'm not asking for a paragraph break-down; maybe just a two word answer, if you will. Thank you. Almost forgot, thank you for explaining the sizes on the tools needed.

@JoeTheAutoGuy 3 года назад

Sorry for late replay , but no did not remove negative cable just ignition off and parking brake disengaged , serp belt is pretty straight forward just adjusters to remove and adjust and some have the automatic tensioner bit it's pretty easy

@karlthorpe1289 4 месяца назад

I don’t get why you need to take apart the ebrake assembly? If you are winding the piston back what mechanical difference does it make to do that? Is there something in the actuator that you don’t want to twist?

If you don’t have a scan tool you don’t want to rotate the position sensor of the non applied brake caliper motor

What did you do best at 10:45? These guides should be clean and dry. This is the only way they can work properly. There are ribs in the rubber part that are to retract the brake caliper. When you lubricate the rails, these fringes do not work at all.

says to lubricate them in the service manual so i did

@anthonyguess5528 3 года назад

Why did you take the actuator off since you had the tool to compress the piston and turn in the electric brake? Seem like that was an unnecessary step?

@JoeTheAutoGuy 3 года назад

Nope with out putting the caliper in service mode with a scan tool you can upset position sensors for electronic park actuation , which is why indid it this way. I have a scan tool at home that can put them into "service mode' but this is a way for the DIYer to get it done
