Quick tip, for the front brakes use the brake line bolt and insert it in the small hole of the rotor, it pushes the rotor out without having to hammer it and possibly damaging your wheel bearing.

I've watched several videos on replacing rotors on Subarus and they say don't use the screw holes on the rotors to get them off. They're wrong. I used 3"-8mm-125 pitch bolts and the rotors broke lose with very little effort with a 13mm wrench. So, much easier than any other method.

My left rear was a bit of a pain. I tapped one of the pads in place. I think I may need t redo it maybe not. Will see how it wears. It isn't smoking when I drove on highway and brakes operate fine feel wise.

@KarlBrouillette Месяц назад

Good video. I would only add that you should take the time to check, clean and grease with the appropriate water repelling grease the pins on which the caliper slides to distribute the pressure on the pads evenly. To do so requires to pull them out of the rubber boots being careful not to tear them. You will get far longer use of your pads and discs.

At some point after 2015, it seems they switched to a larger bolt to mount the caliper bracket to the steering knuckle. I have a 2021 WRX and mine needed a 19mm socket in front (and the rear calipers use a 17mm socket). Just to keep everyone on their toes! And yes they're all very tight.

@Ejpastor32 3 года назад

Nice bro! I’m planning to get hawk premium pads with dba slotted rotors

@AutoEnthusiast 3 года назад

Just FYI, all the hawks I have heard squeek!

@Ejpastor32 3 года назад

@@AutoEnthusiast oh man, in that case I may not get it. I thought the hawk yellow premium wouldn’t. I do know the hawk blue squeak since it’s composite

@AutoEnthusiast 3 года назад

I can't speak for all of their pads, just passing on what I have heard and what other owners have told me!

@lukedavis1928 2 года назад

Great video man! Nice step by step guide to getting the pads & rotors swapped out. I happened to pick up the same FactionFab brake kit a few weeks ago and am in the process of installing. I was wondering on the rear rotors about 11:10 in that 12mm screw you put into the two holes to loosen the old rotor. Where did you get that from? Thanks man & keep making great content for this WRX!

@AutoEnthusiast 2 года назад

It's the screw that holds the clip for the brake line

@lukedavis1928 2 года назад

@@AutoEnthusiast thanks for clearing that up - makes sense now after re-watching that portion. Thanks man!

@skateboard987654321 3 года назад

Hey boss! Thanks for making this video. How are you liking these new brakes? I put StopTechs on mine and the lovely New England weather rusted them out in about 11 months to the point where they’re grinding on everything, so I’m looking for opinions on other options.

@AutoEnthusiast 3 года назад

Oof no bueno. These are awesome so far, no rust yet. But it is a ticking time bomb being in Boston.

@skateboard987654321 3 года назад

@@AutoEnthusiast appreciate the replay! I ended up going getting OEM rotors and hawk pads. Gonna keep my stainless lines so hopefully I don’t lose too much stopping power.

@nicolashuffman4312 4 месяца назад

Any opinions: is it worth upgrading to Hawk HP+ or EBC Yellowstuff, or will I eventually end up going for a big brake kit, so don't waste money on the stock brakes?

@hmaxwell34 23 дня назад

Should the spring clip be under or outside of the pad. I’ve seen it both ways.

@SHIFTDreams 3 года назад

In doing brakes + rotors on my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe, I turned the wheel to expose the caliper assembly after the wheel was off to make assessing the caliper bolts easier. Is there something on the 15+ WRXs that makes this ill-advised?

@AutoEnthusiast 3 года назад

Nope, I just found I could get a better swing on the torque wrench that I have in the 15+ wheel well. I did our 14 Elantra coupe and turned the wheel as well lol

@christopherclapp6911 2 года назад

Hey how do you get stuck rotors off? What size bolt do I put in to pop the rotor off??

@AutoEnthusiast 2 года назад

if they are very stuck, I would take a hammer or a mallet and start by lightly hammering all over the rotor surface, work on breaking the rust bond that is making it stick
