  • Great video, saved 150 dollars and got it done by myself. Its been a good learning exercise..to top it all up my caliper just had one bolt to be undone while the other was acting like a hinge joint(it didnt have a bolt). Good old subaru Liberty design ae. At the end of the day only spent 55 dollars to get it all done. Thanks Tom

  • should have showed in the vid to put grease on the bracket where the pads slide,grease the sliders and said make sure the pads move freely in the bracket

  • @haggard159 Cool story. Make a video?

  • @joshuaizzle if you can see in 1:33 they fast fowarded it.. you can see the other one installed

  • Do you Americans not have anti-rattle pins?

  • This is an extremely poor example of doing a brake reline! If all you care about is cost, then go ahead and follow this garbage. If you care about doing it properly, being able to spot potential problems, and want your new pads to last more than a month, get a $25 repair manual from an auto parts store and read it first. There is so much more to doing a proper brake reline than this video shows.

  • Is there anything that needs to be lubes while you are replacing them?

  • hell of a lot easier than my Hayes manual

  • @joshuaizzle he installed 2 they just dont show him doing it. pause at 1:34 and youll see both of them in.

  • @VacancyJB

    @Paedobaptism

    You are both wrong. The end of the video shows both brake pads are BLACK. It's called a fastcut. You simply repeat replacing the brake pad on the other side. Use your eyeballs.

  • And the dealership wanted to charge me $259 just to do this on the front brakes alone... LOL!!!!!!!

  • @omfgmerry get a pipe or some long cylinder thing to put around the socket wrench so you get a lot of torque
