Subaru 26696AG051 Brake Pad Kit Rear

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it on jackstands. Remove the wheels and, if working on the rear brakes, release the parking brake lever. Remove two-thirds of the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir and position a drain pan underneath. Before starting, clean the entire brake assembly with brake system cleaner. To replace front brake pads on non-Brembo models, work sequentially and use illustrations as a guide, ensuring to work on one brake assembly at a time for reference. The process for rear brake pads mirrors that of the front, with slight size differences. For Brembo calipers, access the pads through the caliper opening, identifying and removing the pad pins and lock-pins. Note the pin removal directions for installation. Remove the inboard brake pad and cautiously depress the caliper pistons, monitoring the master cylinder reservoir fluid levels. Before inserting new pads, apply a minimal amount of silicone-based grease on the pad's side edges and between the plate and shims. After installing both inboard and outboard pads, fix the pad pins and lock them with small lock-pins. While pads are removed, inspect the caliper and brake disc for any issues. Before reinstalling the caliper components, cleanse and inspect them for any damages. Once all components are replaced, install the pads on the opposite wheel, fix the wheels back, and lower the vehicle. Ensure the brake fluid reservoir is full, then pump the brakes to seat the pads against the discs. Before driving, test the brakes, and initially avoid heavy brake applications to allow the pads to seat properly.
