Correction, meant that the tension clips built into the pad should rest on the caliper assembly.

@onetimer100 3 месяца назад

Overall great instructional video straight to the point and very clear and concise. I will say as others have noted the pads were reinstalled incorrectly, for this brake set on this vehicle. The brake pad springs indeed stay on the outside and are not meant to be shoved on the inside, inbetween the pad and the hardware. This is evident if you go back and watch the initial removal. Look closely and you can see they were installed properly last time... with the spring pads on the outside It's a common mistake and I've learned my lessons having owned an outback.

@zamiryi 4 года назад

In 10+ years of doing brakes on ALL makes and models I have never seen ANYONE open the system just to retract the pistons. The bleeder screws are usually stuck or rust/welded, the piston bottoming out and caliper hanging below the master cylinder reservoir level is a guarantee to lose fluid while taking in the air. So now you turned a 30 min brake job into a 1.5 hours of soak the bleeder screw, hope it doesnt brake off, bleed the brakes when you are done.

@1AAuto 4 года назад

+zamiryi Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

@sgould6862 4 года назад

As a previous commenter said, @14:50 the spring is indeed installed incorrectly. The end of the spring does NOT go under the tab on the pad. It goes on the outside against tab on the metal clip. This is how the pad was installed before you took it apart. It's also how the springs on my Outback looked when I did the brakes just now. You're not the only one to make this mistake. Several other videos out there do the same thing. Not sure if there are any safety ramifications, but putting the spring under the pad is definitely incorrect. Otherwise, great video.

@1AAuto 4 года назад

+Steve Gould Thanks for the feedback!

@jasonrodgers8780 3 года назад

Agree! However, was so difficult to get pads to stay with the return spring in the correct/on-top position (non OEM pads with their non OEM metal backings) that I had to put the caliper bracket on THEN put the pads in and HOLD them in while I put the caliper on. Also, on passenger front I incorrectly put the return spring tucked in like video gal shows. Leaving for now....will be a good experiment 😄

@ericmoss8344 Год назад

Correct... it took me a minute to figure it out as the spring in my opinion is designed to push the pad away f/the rotors so they don't 'ride' the rotors over time. Plus if you put the spring in how she showed it, the pads I used wouldn't fit as they are a snug fit w/the spring outside the metal hardware. If that makes sense... not the easiest brake job I've ever done in 35 yrs of wrenching, but doable if you know how it goes back together. :)

@lukemazza6027 2 года назад

Please update the video to include a note about correct placement of the brake pad return spring. As others have noted it should brace against the outside of the caliper frame, and not tucked inside. I have to redo one side of my brake job after following this video.

@yassinem3443 3 года назад

Great Video! Very informative and helpful. But DO NOT OPEN THE BLEADER PLUG! If you do, you will let air into the brake lines and they will need to be fully Bled. I confirmed this by calling my local Subaru Dealer. I did this and had to pay a mechanic to bleed all 4 of my brakes because there was air in the lines. It cost me $200.

@maxtp948 2 года назад

Wow he ripped you of big time. Bleeding the brakes is a 20 min job and should not cost $200

@edwardchung3576 2 года назад

Agreed. I have never seen this done and was wondering why she did that.

@turbochargers7841 11 дней назад

This video needs to be updated. I looked like a total idiot in front of my neighbor, doing it for her, thinking this would be good information. Now that I looked in the comments afterwards, I’m glad and also baffled that I caught that mistake after checking the other side by myself. This directional mistake could lead others not as cautious to improperly install their brake pads, rendering them unable to stop. This is a huge liability issue! Please correct!!👍🏾

@Natedoc808 2 года назад

In addition to the many comments below outlining the incorrect spring placement, do not crack your bleeder screw unless you have a helper and want to bleed all four brakes; just crack the cap on the reservoir and compress the pistons slowly. Also, do yourself a favor and do not hand new pads or rotors with oily or greasy gloves, unless you want everyone to hear you braking.

@dougstringer5358 4 года назад

Couple of questions: Why replace the rotors at 65k? Also, how was your brake fluid container full after you bled the fluid out when you expanded the pistons? In addition, at the time you bled the fluid out, why didn't you have the cap off of the reservoir to allow a smooth flow and no air bubbles?

@michaelpark5681 2 года назад

@linac.7191 2 года назад

Thank you for the video! You helped us change my brakes today. Before we started my boyfriend said we should be watching the playoffs today instead of doing this, and then later on in the video she says “I’m not sure about you, but I’d rather be inside watching football” 🤣

@gymbo343 4 года назад

At 14:50, I believe that spring is installed incorrectly. That part on the brake pad is a return spring, not an anti rattle clip. In the beginning of the video, where you removed the stock brake pads, notice how the clips were installed differently from how you guys installed it in the end.

@g.r.visentin9079 4 года назад

You're right on - I saw that right away, and I just did a 2016 Impreza with a similar spring. It has a little bump at the end that should ride on top of the extended metal on the side of the clip - as clearly shown on the old ones when removed (stop the video and look)

@wadehouk3823 3 года назад

I noticed the same thing with that spring. And if you put it where they said, it will catch in grooves in that hardware and not allow the pad to slide correctly.

@itsme6026 3 года назад

you need silicone paste on the caliper pin, not brake grease

@MsJbraswell1 3 года назад

The tension clips on the pads are not supposed to rest on the outside of the carrier assembly. Not inside the clips as was done on re-assembly. I initially made the same mistake on one side but saw the proper way when removing the other side. Had to redo that side but caught it and fixed it before taking the car for a test drive. Something easy to do if not really looking closely when taking apart. Also wasn't sure if it was mentioned but the carrier assembly torque I believe is 85 ft lbs and caliper bolts where listed at 25 ft lbs (for those that do it to spec).

@db126 2 года назад

Nicely detailed. I do have some lingering questions regarding placement of the anti-rattle (return) spring as noted elsewhere in the comments. On a 2015 Legacy the spring caught on shim hardware when installed as shown. A very minor modification to the spring fixed that but I would have rather done it right the first time.

@maxtp948 2 года назад

Please explain why you open the bleeder screw when retracting the pistons and why that would be necessary on cars with an abs system. I’ve never seen anyone open the bleeder screw when pushing the pistons back. No matter what make or model or if the car has abs or not.

@David-ie7zn Год назад

I wonder about that too, I open the master reservoir cap so the brake fluid would remain in the system without air

@panchovillaxx7 5 лет назад

As always a great video !! When I do the brake job I never open the bleeding screw,is this necessary? I always unscrew the reservoir cap not the bleeding screw.

@jnepute 3 года назад

That is how I have always done it as well. I think as long as the reservoir cap is unscrewed, you should be fine. I have never had a problem. I guess technically, you run the risk of damaging the master cylinder by forcing fluid back into the reservoir, but I have ever had an issue. Just compress the pistons slowly with the reservoir cap unscrewed and you should be fine.

@mikemckee8066 3 года назад

I know it's been said now that I've read the comments, but a mate of mine was trying to use this as their first brake job and the 'anti-rattle spring' is not a thing on these cars. The metal spring presses on the outside of the caliper bracket. How you describe it you'd literally have to take the bracket off every time you wanted to change the brakes.

@lifeisgood070 4 года назад

@jetboy770371 3 года назад

I don't like the look of the install of the anti rattle spring on the new brake, it was different on the one that came off. OK it is called a "return spring " and it goes on the outside of the the pad clip. It must pull the pad away from the rotor when no brakes are applied. The one that came off was against the outside of the caliper frame and I think she hooked it inside the slot of the thin steel piece that lays in the caliper, which is right ? That spring is a return spring. "Be sure to install so that the pad return spring faces the input side of the direction of brake rotor rotation" " Correctly install the pad return spring to the supporting surface of the pad clip as shown in the figure."

With other vehicles, tapping the rotor in opposing lug nut pattern with a rubber mallet until it broke free worked just fine.

@tkinney80 3 года назад

I've always done the same but the last F150 I had that had the original rotors on from 2006 I had to heat, beat with a sledge and a long piece of steel off for about an hour to get both sides. I honestly didn't think I was going to get them off. I can only imagine in the rust belt the trouble they might have.

If just one pad was installed with the clip on the opposite side that it should be (attached clip spring thingy went back in on top instead of bottom. Do I need to take wheel back off, take caliper back off, and reverse it? Or will it be ok if i leave it? The wear indicator and also a spring tension-er are on the same side of each pad but it was having a hard time fitting in the downward position so it's in the up position. I'll take it all back apart if it's going to cause a safety issue. Thanks anyone for any help with this dilemma !!! I did bleed the brakes on all four wheels due to ABS.

+Amir Gladstone You want to get rid of any air pockets in the brake lines.

@scottfirman 5 лет назад

Its best to drainoff some brake fluid from the master brake cylinder BEFORE retracting the pistons back in. NEVER open the bleeder to the atmosphere like that unless you plan on bleeding air from the system. Simply openening the cap on the master cylinder is enough to relieve pressure on the pistons. Replace the hardware EVERYTIME you do a brake job. Heat damages the hardware over time.
