Thanks for the video, it was very helpful One note to improve the video. The bolt used to push the rotor off is actually 8Mx1.25 not 8Mx1.0 thread pitch

Great explanation. Thanks

Excellent! Would you happen to know the spec on the rear rotor thickness? I have a turning machine available.

A+ .... Thanks for the video, super helpful to see what little tricks we need for each vehicle! Keep it up!

You’re actually supposed to use the bolts that hold on either the caliper bracket or the caliper to remove the rotor. It just makes it a lot easier and you already have them with you so might as well use them.

No. This is only a great way to strip them.

If the parking brake is on during the service should it be off so it doesn't interfere with taking the rotor off

To remove the rotor from the car he says to use two M8 x1.o bolts that is wrong they are M8x1.25.

Nice video. I was planning on using a torque wrench to tighten the caliper bracket and caliper pin bolts. Do you know what the torque values are for those? Thanks

+Glenn Marcucio We do not have the torque specs for the caliper brackets. Thanks for watching!

Parking brake... Meaning e brake? Or take it out of park?

The only thing I would add is to open your Brake master filler cap and make sure it doesn't overflow when you're pushing the brake cylinders back in . especially if someone added brake fluid as the brakes wore . Thanks for the video.

Does the filler cap need to be completely removed or just loosened prior to pushing the caliper cylinders in?

I just completed this job, pumping the brakes and adjusting the parking brake after each wheel. Everything seems to be working just fine, but should I have waited until both sides were done to pump/pull the parking brake? Just want to make sure I didn't accidentally set myself up for a problem later. Thanks!

No. You just wasted time.

Great video. Thank you. and typical of most I've done with hat rotor with concentric mini-drum parking brake. Rear pads were not in need of replacement though. 2-3 mm remaining would be time.

+Sandy Shoremann Thank you!

The factory pads had an additional stainless steel plate. You did not reuse that plate. Is it not necessary?

Are the front and rear pads the same? Thank you in advance.

@toknowlj

nope shouldn't be - often the fronts are larger on most cars

Is it M8-1.0 thread pitch ? or M8-1.25 thread pitch ?

@samiyousef

The correct bolt to use M8-1.25

Is this applicable to the 2018 crosstrek?

Yes it’s the exact same way

Why didn't you replace the rubber boot that the caliper rides on? It had a slit/rip/cut in it

They tell you the wrong bolt, it’s an 8m 1.25 thread, any hardware store

dealership wanted me to change the front rotors just because "he felt it in the steering wheel" turns out it was my rear rotors that were bad, they were just so bad that the whole car + steering wheel was shaking, saved me $200.

To push back the pistons. Do I still need to open the brake fluid led in the hood.

@chingaderajones864

No, but you should pump the brakes after each individual corner you do to avoid overflowing the reservoir.

Can the abs system be messed up by pushing back the piston which causes fluid to go backwards into your abs gizmo instead of coming out the bleed valve if you had used that instead. ??

14 years of doing this and I've never had that issue, just take it easy pushing it back

Can somebody please tell me WHY they went to all the trouble of building a secondary drum for the parking brake inside the hubs of the rotors, instead of simply using the caliper?

@bigdaddymak1439

Because when GM came out with the parking brake in the caliper in the 90s it was a disaster so everybody went to this design! Now manufacturers are going back to the parking brake in the caliper but it controlled by an electric motor instead of a cable!

How do you mechanically "" simply use the caliper" ? It is a hydraulic system and It doesn't have any self-servo locking action that a drum style P-brake would - the self applying action helps hold the brakes regardless how hard the driver pulled the P-brake on. I never see most folks using the P-brake - but I don't live in San Fran. :) I ALWAYS use them regardless of incline and it keeps the cables and mechanical bits free moving. and there is no real "wear".Some trivia: do you recall Ford Trucks using a drive shaft mounted P brake? Cheers! - Sandy.

Can you do both rear brakes before needing to pump the brakes back?

Well that was a waste of a trip to the department store.... it’s not an 8x1.0 bolt. It’s probably a 6mm but I’ll have to go back more to find out Update: It’s a 8.0 x 1.25 mm

Thanks. I also read on NASIOC form it is indeed 1.25 thread pitch, not 1.0 thread pitch (so M8-1.25, not M8-1.0). Had already bought the 1.25 bolt and this video made me doubt, but you sir put me back on the right track. Pffiouu

I didn't really understand what you did with the parking brakes. It was too fast.

So much poking and prodding to ge that off
