Description
Swapping Out Your Brake Pads — With RDA
> Brake pads are the unsung heroes of your car's safety. They squeeze against the rotors to slow you down, turning all that forward motion into heat. But over time, they wear down, and your braking can suffer. Especially tough if you're tackling those winding roads in your Subaru or giving your Toyota 86 a thrashing.
Tell-tale Signs You've Got Brake Pad Trouble
• Brakes squealing like a piglet when you hit the pedal?
• Taking longer to stop than you'd like?
• Feeling a judder through the pedal?
• Pedal feels soft and spongy?
• Pads look thinner than a cafe lunch?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate. Worn brake pads are a surefire WOF failure. Insufficient pad thickness or uneven wear will have the WOF inspector shaking his head. Time for new ones!
DIY or Workshop?
Skill Level: 6/10 (A Bit Tricky)
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, axle stands, wheel brace, G-clamp or caliper piston tool, spanners, brake cleaner, torque wrench, safety glasses.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, a quick word from yours truly. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – axle stands are your best mate here. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of brake dust – that stuff's nasty. A bit of Caliper Grease on the right spots will keep things smooth. And don't forget Safety Glasses and Nitrile Gloves – protect those eyes and hands!
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX reckons replacing brake pads at the first sign of trouble is a no-brainer for safety.

Fitment Notes
These pads are a match for a bunch of Subarus, including the Forester (2012-2999), Legacy (2009-2014), Outback (2009-2999), BRZ (2012-2999), and Tribeca (2006-2999), plus the Toyota 86 and GT 86 (2012-2999). Double-check your exact year and model – even within the same range, things can vary.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
