To think that the dealerships trying to charge me $900 to do this easy shit…

@bijdikh8516 6 месяцев назад

Keep in mind that dealers are also buy Subaru OEM parts, which are a lot more than brake parts that you can find online for OEM quality parts. They also charge for rotors and pads, which the guy in this video is just pad slapping, which not only will almost no mechanics ever do but it's never recommended to do this. So for rotors, pads, and brake hardware, that's $648 MSRP from Subaru's part store.

@honnorgaurd 6 месяцев назад

@@bijdikh8516 no thats just it.... the number i gave was just for replacing brake pads ALONE.... if i was to have rotors added in, it wouldve been closer to $2000. as for the pads... its kinda stupid. it really isnt something you need OEM quality on. pads are pads they all have one job to do and thats just to be applied to the rotor and stop your car. as long as they dont come apart and are designed to fit your car, any pads will work its not rocket science. just basic wear and tear items to be replaced. not something you should have to blow an entire months rent to have someone do for you. i ended up just buying the pads at an auto store for $90 and doing the damn things myself. 40,000 miles later and they're still doing just fine.

@EllissDee4you4me 6 месяцев назад

They only charge what they do because people are willing to pay it that’s just how the free market works. Don’t be bitter though the more they wanna charge the more you’re saving by doing it yourself.

@Vanya2893 2 месяца назад

@EllissDee4you4me that's kind of bullshit, most people don't have the technical knowledge or skills to shop around for car repairs, they just just have to do whatever the shop says. There's a lot of scamming in this industry unfortunately

Great video! Good that you also clean and grease your brake parts. Video gets right to the point!

Aren’t you worried about the wear pattern of the old rotor?? I always turn em or replace them

@josefgutierz 7 месяцев назад

Hey Thanks for the post! I noticed that you didn’t put the vehicle in service mode. Is that something I really should worry about? Thanks in advance

@digicabtech 3 месяца назад

Do you need to undo the electric break latch before remove the brake pads.

@jeffduckworth9092 Год назад

For the rear (only?) pads ONE of the four pads is different. There’s a tang/hook or tab sticking out of the backing plate. I didn’t install mine and then watched your video. It’s in fast motion for the pads, but it looks like that weird pad goes on the inside of the pass side rear? I didn’t take off the pass side only the drivers side. I thought my set was a mistake. But I think your set has the same thing. I really like the straight to the point way you did this video. Not a lot of 💩 to have to get through. Im going to take off the rear pass side and see if that one pad has that strange hook on it.

You can almost catch a glimpse at 5:41 or :42.

No need to use a special tool on the rear for the parking brake?

@gregkatis7970 Месяц назад

Should have greased the caliper slide pins at same time.

Quick question what brakes did u put on the back?

@turdsandwicher Год назад

Mine has electric rear parking brake. Do I need to disable it somehow?

The Rear pad says 2015 forester. It still fit on crosstrek 2020?

@PatrickKasilag 8 месяцев назад

These pads fit a wide variety of Subaru's from 2014 to 2023

@viktordoktor2947 Год назад

Hello, Thank for video. It helped me. What direction of wear indicator? Mine is to down, But you istall indicator to the up. Do you have service manual for 2018+ crosstrek?

@trippr516 Год назад

On the crosstrek, the wear indicator is supposed to be on the bottom.

Why do you have to compress the caliper? Is it so the new pads will fit

@PatOutdoors 4 месяца назад

Exactly

@edtwin88 4 месяца назад

Do the pins stay compressed? And do I leave compressor tool engaged?@@PatOutdoors

@kelbysarti9015 2 года назад

Great video! What brand of rims do you have on and tier size?

@PatrickKasilag 2 года назад

Thanks! The wheels are by F44 Offroad (CM102) The tires I have on are Toyo 235/75R15, but they do rub when I'm braking while turning. So if your Crosstrek is NOT lifted, I wouldn't recommend going larger than 215/75R15 . But if you are lifted, then you could get away with 225/75R15.

@@paynespaulding3621 Mine is the dark grey with orange stitching on the interior. I'm going with VHT Grey primer, VHT Burnt Copper, and VHT clear coat. The burnt copper is a metallic which I think will go well with the metallic grey body. VHT has Chevy Engine Orange and Hemi Orange - one of those may be a good match for you.

how many miles did you have before needing to do a brake job?

@PatrickKasilag 2 года назад

We drove to about 40K before needing to do the first brake job. I'm likely swapping out the rotors with another pad set around 70-80K.

@charkesfredrikson8082 Год назад

Nice to know this isn't one of them high dollar Japanese cars that has you buying different tools for every component. Although I never put nothing on the brake pads before I will now or I should say have one of my five boys use it. as I supervise and & watch. Although I will not use the piston tool you used I would rather use a pair of C-clamp vise grips turning it in a little each time you squeeze it shut or a small C clamp with the brake pad over the cylinder save me some money. Now Three of the five hit me up at least every couple months the other two every now and then although they all pay me back or bring back what they barrow none of them want to piss the bank of Dad off besides I'm retired.
