Repairing Rusted Rear Subaru Brake Line Junction (2012 Forester) 

just had this problem on my 07 Subaru STI, In your video you have answered all the problems i could see. This was excellant thank you

Thank you for the tips at the end for what to watch out for such as bleeding all four brakes despite just doing rear brake lines. Please just keep it simple like you are now (even when you get to be Scotty Kilmer). Some of us have major health issues and our brains don't function like they used to lol. Thanks again, you and your family stay well and stay safe,

Got to do this to my wrx wagon. Great help.

First off, great video and thank you for posting this. A few things though. You said how overwhelming this seemed to you at first. EXACTLY! I have an '09 and have done brakes, calipers, spark plugs/wires, timing belt with water pump and everything around there since I had access (worst experience of my life and never again lol), all four struts...took me 2 hours on the first and then 2 hours for the next 3, rust restoration, new exhaust, new ebrake, oil sending unit...on and on....but this is pushing my limits. Sorry for the rambling, but there is a point to it lol. Don't you wish you could have watched someone fumble with it (you skipped these parts and I get that), make mistakes, tell us your thought process and why it worked or didn't (you did a great job of this when filming). Questions: 1. How much brake line did you really need? I don't want to get 25' line but I don't see anything but that. however, if I know how much you used, that would help (including the amount you screwed up since I need to add that in for me (ALWAYS screw things up the first time around). 2. Anything you had to go back and fix or adjust after you thought you were done? 3. I don't have a lift, any recommendations to make the job easier in lieu of the lift? I would just jack it. 4. Glad you mentioned the details of the HF kit. I bought one off Amazon to save money and it was refrigerator line with nothing I needed lmao. $25 ....get what you pay for and I know that but like many, I am budgeting my monthly paycheck to the penny with no extras such as buying food out etc. So don't bust my balls too much although buying a cheap Chinese set deserves it lol. If you get this and can anwer just one thing, please let me know approx how much brake line you used or should I just get the 25' one? Thanks and will be watching your other videos you put out as I just subscribed. thanks

Great video, I’m about to tackle this on an 04 Wrx wagon I just purchased. I haven’t done brake lines before, but what’s a better time than now to learn right 😂

On my 2008 Forester the front right control arm failed due to rust.On 70 mph I almost got crash. This happened a couple of years ago.I'm first owner of this vehicle.

I've got the same junction on my 13 Crosstrek, and while it hasn't burst it looks cruuuusty! I saw another video that did a similar routing to you, but I really like your approach and learned a few things. Those little zip ties with plugs are gold and the felt tape approach is awesome. I was also thinking back seat, but how do you keep the line safe from abrasion... Frankly, I think Subaru should take your routing method and make it their standard. That damn junction has caused so many headaches.

awesome guide, thank you for this video

Thank you for the good job..My 2005 Forester x .sit backyard 3 years , now I found rear brake leak. Thanks

I thought UK cars rusted a lot until I saw yours! I think that much chassis rust would probably fail our annual inspection test (mot). Good work on the break lines,filming and editing.

I have the same issue as that with a 2003 Subaru legacy. I'm gonna pray real real hard that I can just stitch fix the line leaking. Probably won't be that lucky. But I'm gonna try.

I love you

Hola compañero,tengo un impreza hawkeye y queria preguntarte si los palieres yraseros tienen holguras cuando los mueves con la mano seria normal o tendria que pensar cambiarlo

In the case where the abs has to be recalibrated, any ideas how to go about it?

Hello. Just to be safe, when you remove the back seat, the brake line closest to the door is the right rear passenger brake? Right?

A friend, living in the rust belt, sprayed his lines with undercoating.

Just followed the exact steps for my 2009 Subaru Outback but for some reason no brake fluid is coming through the lines to the rear calipers. Pumped the brakes few times and opened the bleeder valve, still nothing. Any help?
