Hello all,
When I had my oil changed at the dealership (can't beat the $15 cost) I was told the rear brakes need to be replaced via the multipoint inspection lookover. I was quoted $450 for rear brake rotors and brake pads. Obviously that is waaaay overpriced for my wallet so I'm considering replacing these myself. A friend of mine who lives up the road and works on Honda's, said it's not hard. In general it's a matter of jacking it up, removing the wheel, removing 2-3 screens on the caliper and taking a rubber mallet to gently tap the caliper or rotor off. Being I'm fairly technical minded even if there is more to it than that, I wouldn't mind buying the parts at autozone and doing this myself. Does anyone here know exactly what brand Subaru uses for rotors/brake pads? Also what is a good place for looking at instructions for doing this? It doesn't appear too hard and I would like to enjoy learning this.
