developed some sort of metal rubbing on my subie rear wheel at slow speeds, not while braking. something is got stuck somewhere or another. Came back to watch this as a reference. Man I really think this is Eric O's best video ever. I really wish, I could just go into a shop and say I Want to the Eric O standard of brake change and they would know exactly what I want. A local shop I saw was putting on brake pads (on another car) didnt even change the brake hardware, I died inside knowing, I gotta find another shop I Guess I gotta stop pissing and moaning and get my own quality floor jack, and do this myself.

Replaced brakes 16, 000 miles ago with the Wearever Gold brake pads and Platinum rotors. Starting to get brake squeal after driving for about 5 minutes, hopefully the squeal is just from a lack of brake lubricant on metal to metal parts. The squeal is also intermittent, so I am going to pull the wheels tomorrow and check the pads. If needed to replace, is the Platinum option worth the extra money compared to the Gold? I would have thought i should have gotten more than 16k out of the Gold pads if they are bad.

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for to change out the pads and rotors on my 2014 WRX as my first brake job ever. The thorough explanation and justification of your instructions and methods are spot on and incredibly helpful especially with respect to New York winters/cars (my pads went in smoothly after a little filling. I'm in Rochester, but if I were further south, I would definitely be giving you my business! Thanks again!

i am not able to push the cylinder piston fully back until the gap in the cylinder can fit my new brake pads and rotors. i used c-clamps.
the cylinder looks corroded under the rubber hose. whats the fastest and easiest way to fix it? just replacing the piston by new ones (including the rubber hose) and derust the caliper or to get a new (or refurbished) caliper? (or any other hint, without replacing a part?

Great Video I've done lots of Brake jobs and this well done especially showing the lube on calipers and pins most jobs I've done the prior people have not did this part and it makes the job a pain in the rear. I also loosen the bleeder valve when pushing the pistons back in so it gets rid of the old fluid so its not pushed back into the lines, Doesn't really matter though if you do a full bleed. Great Job!

Great videos. I'm working my way through from the beginning.
I'm a fan and big user of brake clean also. But I'm a cheap skate.
Have you tried a non-aerosol sprayer like Sure Shot or Titan Tools Spray Shot and bulk brake cleaner?
I don't know the break-even point, but I don't run out in the middle of a job like I use to.
Thanks for the many great videos. Mike

What brake clean do you use? Do you buy it in bulk? I also love to use a lot of brake clean but find I end up spending a lot on it. Is there any secret cheap brake clean I'm missing. I love brake clean (and its smell)

Great videos thanks for sharing your expertise. Recently picked up a 2003 Subaru Outback and replaced all the fluids and all pads and rotors. By the way, what kind of lift do you have the car on and where can I get one?

Thanks for this video! Doing my first complete brake job on my 2010 impreza soon. Do you think a C-clamp and an old brake pad or piece of wood would work just as good to depress the piston? Thanks!

My EBC Red pads came with what looked like a small pouch of copper based anti-seize as the grease. I put it on the plastic adhesive shim, and on the rails/pins as instructed, seems to work fine.
