Front and rear brake pads and rotors diy Subaru crosstrek

[@jessemaa6932]

Thank you for the details on what you’re doing other videos I watched weren’t as detailed about the pressing the pistons

[@3guysgarage]

Hope we gained a subscriber out of you it helps a bunch

[@louisgara8754]

Thanks, an excellent video. After watching, I'll definitely be doing my own Crosstrek's pads and rotors when the time comes.

[@3guysgarage]

They’re fairly simple. If you want, just disassemble one wheel at a time so if you forget something you can check the other side to verify fitment.

[@longislandforester859]

It’s ok to Jack up the car where you did? I want to put the stand in the same spot you did

[@3guysgarage]

Yea no issues at all. Be sure to give us a sub for more DIY content!

[@EnligUlv]

Took my Crosstrek in for service this AM expecting its first brake job at 76,000 miles; only worn down @ 60%. Mostly highway miles on it.

[@glenrobinson6846]

I’ve never done my own brakes, I’m pretty handy - local garage wanted 380 for rear pads/disc - I can diy for 100 thinking of taking the plunge need a confidence boost

[@3guysgarage]

[@omartiger22]

Thank you my mom's car failed state inspection at 54,000 miles
- front and rear pads
-only front rotors warped.

[@3guysgarage]

Glad to see this DIY helped you out! Give the channel a sub goes a long way to helping us create more helpful content

[@Bucshiker]

Just did my fronts. New pads and rotors. After, noticed terrible vibration. I had to put the old rotors on to get rid of that. Is it common to get bad rotors new? Do they need a burn in period? Thanks great video

[@andredsouza2320]

Excellent Video. Excellently explained. I'm Extatic.

Thanks good one

[@Go2Sleep911]

Great video. Great tip for the Ebrake if it’s stuck. Do you happen to know the torque specs for the front and rear caliper bolts and the front and rear caliper bracket bolts? Also does this call for thread lock at all?

[@XRanger30X]

Excellent video! Thanks brother!

[@morgancravey5217]

Super helpful. Thanks!

[@barbryll8596]

I just had rotors and pads changed today.....was surprised how expensive it was. I have the exact same Subaru as in your video (colour too)
Is there any way to prolong break Life?
Otherwise I'm looking at 1200.00 every four years!!! 😳

[@vincegusbar5404]

Great video!

[@laurencegiersch9615]

Excellent video, thanks

[@3guysgarage]

Glad it helped

[@chriskaprys]

6:15 I'm in exactly the same position - same bolt and everything. The rotor's still on but I figure if I can pop it off then I can remove the calliper bracket and crank on the rusted-on remaining bolt with something. May I ask what you used to "apply heat several times"? I'm thinking I'll get one of those mini butane blow torches but wondering if that's going to provide enough heat - should I get one of those plumber's torches instead, or is that overkill?

[@3guysgarage]

Exactly what was used was a little butane torch it worked just fine just took a little

[@chriskaprys]

@@3guysgarage Right on. Thanks a mil. Great informative video.

[@chriskaprys]

@@3guysgarage Got it out! 3/4 tank of propane hot/cold alternating, pumping shots of PB Blaster down it when it's cool enough that it didn't burn or bubble off, then left it for a few hours. Tonight just picked up a set of Die Hard bolt extractors, pushed the 11mm on to the bit of the bolt that was sticking out, hand cranked it with the 3/8" socket wrench, and the beauty just turned right out. What a PITA.
Great advice here. If I could subscribe again I would!

[@HarryBungholio]

Did you use shims with the new pads? Trying to figure out if its necessary

[@3guysgarage]

Nope

[@aarshmathur2909]

Antisize the hanger bolts and caliper bolts or thread lock ?

[@3guysgarage]

Anti

[@firstsin27]

You didn't specify how you remove the rotor. Thanks.

[@3guysgarage]

Come on it’s pretty detailed

[@britonmarrett796]

What would the procedure be for an electronic brake?

[@justburn999]

A different video lol

[@sal1964]

Is the back parking break the same on a 2018 ?

[@3guysgarage]

I believe so

[@ziggyholiday]

I know this is dumb, but the front and rear pads are the same?

[@3guysgarage]

No they are different

[@akadhsu]

Do you need to open up the brake reservoir when you compress the pistons?

[@3guysgarage]

No you do not need to

[@shawnhumes9140]

Which brand rotors and brake pads? I have the same exact car :)

[@3guysgarage]

Whatever the parts store hard duralast I believe

[@lkw5699]

What mileage is this at?

[@3guysgarage]

Hmmm I don’t remember exactly I want to say around 50k?

[@JK-oj5sf]

Do the caliper pins need to be greased or not?

[@3guysgarage]

Don’t need to be but wouldn’t hurt either. Don’t over grease tho

[@Funkgun]

Thanks sir.
that company he went to sounds like they were looking for $$$

[@3guysgarage]

Hopefully this helps you out on doing your own job!

[@conorflynn8071]

Only thing you need to make video better is not cut away and come back with things done. Kinda takes away from showing us how to do everything.

[@3guysgarage]

Thanks for the feedback will do better next time.

[@natochizmar530]

The only helpful video lmao

[@3guysgarage]

Well glad it helped
