In this detailed DIY / HOW TO video I’m gonna show you how to replace your Subaru Forester front brakes step by step. Including calipers, discs/rotors, pads and even the bleeding process at the end ! So this is a complete guide ! It should be the same for others Subarus like the outback, legacy, impreza, wrx and more.
It might seems like a difficult process but it’s not ! It’s actually a simple job, an EASY DIY you can do by yourself ! BUT if you are not confident enough, leave your car to a professional. I mean, brakes a pretty important on a vehicle.

ADDITIONAL INFOS FOR BRAKE REPLACEMENTS :
-Brake replacement have do be done by pair, you have to do both sides !
-The bleeding have to be done from the farthest caliper to the master cylinder to the nearest
-Brake fluid is called DOT. DOT3, DOT4, Super DOT4 and DOT5.1 fluids are miscible although this is not recommended. DOT 5 fluid is NOT mixable
-Brake fluid is higly corrosive and toxic, it's gonna go through your skin and directly to your kidneys. PLEASE WEAR GLOVES.
-For DOT4, fluid replacement once every 2 years is acceptable. For DOT 3, fluid replacement every year is recommended. For people who drive aggressively on winding roads, fluid replacement every six months to a year is recommended.
-Brake fluid bleeding / flush can be done by yourself with a bleeding kit (link in the description)
-Brake fluid bleeding will prevent your calipers of being stuck
-A brake caliper can be rebuild ! You don't have to change it everytime it get stuck.
-Allow 480-800km (300-500 miles) for pads and rotors / discs to bed in. During this time, drive vehicle cautiously as brake effect may be lower.
