How To Replace 2012 Subaru Forester Rear Caliper

The 2012 Forester had a rear caliper develop a seized piston. So in this video we show how to replace the caliper with a new one.
Apparently I never actually showed my diy self-bleeder bottle in previous videos, but like I said, they are simple to make with a little research.

Thanks for this video. It’s nice to be able to refresh my memory and gather all the correct size wrenches and tools for prep. Makes the process efficient and less stress! Appreciate the lack of music, good quality camera work, and no cussing 👍

Very informative and just what I needed to work up the courage to replace the rear left caliper on my 2012 Forester. I had the same issue with a rusted/seized piston. Thanks!!

Hey great video! Did you remove all the brake fluid before removing the line on the old caliper?

[@TwoFourSevenDIY]

No. Not nessessary.

Thanks for the video!! Anyone else not see any copper washers when they unscrewed the banjo bolt?

Your welcome? Are you asking when I unbolted it? They were there. Or are you asking in a general sense? Question unclear.
