Good reply - thanks. One other unrelated to grease thing but important piece in changing pads. In the older models the piston was usually driven back into the housing with C clamp or some sort of threaded tool. That is not the case with this model. The piston must be threaded back in. There are special tools available, some simple others more complex. A simple effective one is a small cube with various configurations on each face. Definitely get one before doing the job. There is a video showing the use of flat nose pliers - don't do it. One slip and you puncture the rubber boot the repair job just got way more complex and expensive.

Recently completed a 2015 rear brake pad change. 2015 ltd with eyesight. The manual does not show grease points for the rear brakes. The Subaru parts kit does does not include grease. The instructions in the pad kit do not mention grease. Inspection of the old original parts show no residual grease on the ears , brake rear face or in the ear slots on the caliper. No grease on the caliper bolt/swivel pins. Just for fun I guess the front pads are greased, manual shows where, pad kit includes 2 types of grease and instructions where to apply. Any insight?
