How do you replace brake pads on 1992 Subaru legacy?

Answer 1

remove the wheel cover if it has one and then take and loosen the lug nuts 3/4 socket or 19mm, raise front of the car and support with jack stands. Finish removing the lug nuts and wheels. The caliper has only one lower bolt that is a 14mm, use a 1/2 inch drive and a breaker bar and loosen and remove bolt, the caliper should now pivot up from bottom and you can remove the pads. You will now want to open the hood and check the reservoir and and make sure that it does not over flow as you compress the piston in the caliper, a turkey baster works well to remove excess fluid. With a c-clamp(6inch) or a brake piston compressor you need to put the piston all the way back into the caliper. You can now pivot the caliper back over the new pads and reinstall the 14mm bolt. tighten the bolt to spec. and replace wheel etc. Pump the brake pedal a few times and check master cyl. level.
