Very informative tutorial video❤

[@gRosh08]

Cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@JdmgjnFjahgks]

All I wanted was the jackpoints, dang

[@rube814]

Is this method the same for a 2022 limited model?

[@michaeldestories3412]

How about showing how to back off the E-brake pads in this video?

[@wildmanofthewynooch7028]

What about the Outback 2020 and forward?

[@JAD3194]

Why not flip the c clamp around so you can put it in the middle and compress both pistons at once?

[@rodgergraham357]

Is this as out backs

[@bkc9708]

Just a question. Other videos say the caliper mount torque value is 81.1 ftlb but your video suggests 48-59 ftlbs.

[@djyxu]

aren't the lug nuts 19mm instead of 14mm?

[@sidezskateshop1556]

Soap and water?? Why not brake clean?

[@stringztoo]

First off the caliper bolts are not 13 mm they are 19 mm..... and you also fail to mention that to access the upper caliper bolt you need to have a socket wrench that bends because it is too tight to get a normal socket wrench in there.

[@GabChiasse]

Nothing about the parking brake when replacing the rear rotor🤨

[@SeanSR]

This video is horrible. The 2018 subaru crosstrek is 2 - 14mm bolts to remove caliper and 2 - 19 mm bolts to remove bracket. He says 2 - 13mm bolts for caliper and 2 - 21mm bolts for bracket. WTH....

[@wiley0714]

So what you're saying is that you're saving $300 by doing your own brakes but you can't spend 50 bucks on a socket set.
Oh, you're just a sad little man hiding behind a keyboard

[@Marktec]

I know this dude didn't just use a c-clamp on the front of a brand new brake pad.

[@Alley_Watch]

"Place a used brake pad over the face of the piston to protect the surface from marring."

[@Alley_Watch]

...do you tho?
