- This video is about doing a rear drum to disc brake conversion
on a 1998 Subaru Forester with parts from a late 90's outback.
Cost for this was around $80usd

This was a really well done video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
2:52 the best time to break the axle nut loose is when the tire is mounted and on the ground. Just pop out the center tab, or put a on a tire with the center cap popped out. Mount the tire, use a hub socket, probably with an extension, and it should be easy work with a breaker bar 👍
Very cool bro thank you so much for posting this!
Finally a channel I can use to help build my cars 💪
9:40 do *NOT* use the ebrake to tighten the axle. This can potentially glaze the ebrake shoes if they’re not properly adjusted to the inner rotor.
Just get it tight enough, mount a tire to torque with a center hub cap popped out. Set the car back on the ground, chock the wheel(s) in the torque direction, and torque the axle nut. 😅
Glad I came across this video, been intending to do the same on a 02 impreza TS
Did you replace the Master Cylinder and the proportioning valve? From what I read in the forums, there is a difference in the brake bias that a disc/drum setup has vs a converted disc/disc which means you need the Master Cylinder and valve from the donor car.
Great question since I want to do this conversion on my 97 Impreza
The part number for the 02 Forester L (drum)and S (disc) for the Master is the same 26401AC191
And the "Pressure metering valve" part number is also the same 27674AC091
Great video. Doing to mine!
What year legacy did you use?
Also did the ABS sensor line up?
I have a 01 Forester this should be the same.
Thanks
Trying to find a kit where i could remove the entire brake shoes and drum and replace with disk and brake pads on a 2007 Subaru Forester. I just replaced the rear drum with an after market drum and shoes. after a month they stared to chatter ? I readjusted them then after a month they started to charter again. I then purchased from the Subaru dealer the same. But they R expensive, i then did the job again. after a month the same problem. Rear brakes R chartering? What do U think ?
Thanks, I'm considering an '02 Forester and if it has rear drums I have a '97 Legacy Outback donor for the needed parts.
Did you have to change the master brake cylinder?????
would this be the same for the 2008 Forester X with rear drums? just get the hub/ebrake ect of a another forester?
As long as the wheel hub is 5x100 they should fit right?
Great video, but the bolt at 3:20 never comes out that easy. You're lucky.
He's super lucky and I'm super jealous!
Pb blaster all the nuts the night before does wonders
The parking brake receiver is not the same so I guess he just stuck it through the hole that did not have the correct receiving hardware that properly mounts the cable and helps keep grime out and said... goodnuff!
Awesome video! Just clarifying, you used the original Parking Brake cable and ABS cable? Just plug-and-play?
Yeah, looks about right, the diameter of the lines is about the same if different at all, should be pretty much interchangeable besides the sensors and master cylinder
Am i correct in assuming that this also converts the wheel bearing as well? I've got a bad wheel bearing and i hate having the drum brakes on, so i'm wondering if it would be worth it to swap both rears to dick brakes now in order to have easier wheel bearings to change as well.
Did you have to modify the e brake cable?
Yep just wiggle off the drum.
😂
I had a question
I did this swap and used the same break lines that were on the drums Now i feel like the calipers is sizing, could the break lines be the cause?
I’m pretty sure i should not be using the Drum lines since they didn’t fit that well.
i did ordered a set of steel lines already
Ihread on forums you should change it the disc brake lines
@@DylenKinch got it fixed, i used everything the same, the problem was that i unhooked the Break lines for a whole day and got air in the master cylinder, so i took it to a shop and did a full break bleed for $240. Now it works perfect.
what size was the nut for the drive shaft? and do you know if the size is the same on an impreza sportswagon?
Should be a 32mm
about how long did it take?
Would this be similar for the Subaru Impreza
should be exactly the same.
New subscriber here. what brake i can use for upgrading my 2006 forester SG9? any suggestions?
Wondering the same, have you figured it out?
Do you know if a 2000 legacy rear disc could fit a 97 Impreza .
I'm not 100% sure but I would be surprised if it didn't. Try looking on NASIOC forums
Was it worth it though? I mean in traffic real world driving can you say if it worth all the effort from a mechanical standpoint? I mean I know it looks way better looking into wheel...but unsure if it's really a worthwhile improvement over the drum.
Safer plus maintenance is 400% easier
Disc brakes are way better mate. Drum brakes are trash.
@@bakihanma7247 if we're talking about the front brakes I'd say you're absolutely right. But in this particular car in the rear just saying they're better doesn't make it so. My original question is was it worth it. Meaning is it actually worth the stopping power improvement. Or is this a case of what everyone does so that means it's automatically better. I totally agree on the maintenance side. The replacement disc setup is a tiny caliper using the same pressure the drum has. I bet if we measure surface area of the shoes the drums would come out on top. I'm not saying upgrading the pads and rotor sizes above stock wouldn't be an improvement I mean the two systems stock rotors and stock drums. Is it better?
@@bp9749 Tbh on my expierence switching to pads feels like I have faster timing on pedal-wheel nd brake power. Either that or the drums I had were just crapy rusty asf lol since I needed new ones I just said fuck it and switched
@@bp9749 I'm talking about the rear mate. well I went with GD style 04 impreza outback sport. Stops on the dime 👌
Does this work for an 03 too?
Yes it does.
Good evening, I am the owner of Forester Subaru. She did not work. I want to consult you
