outahere Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 ….The torque specs according to the Subaru dealer who was kind enough to fax me the service page for the rears are: Bracket to knuckle - 39.1 ft lbs Caliper bolts to bracket: Ventilated - 27.2 ft lb (Legacy GT) Solid rotors - 19.9 ft (Presumably the base 2.5i)... I see that in the 2008 and 2009 FSM the torque value for the bracket bolts has increased from 39.1 ft-lb to 48.7 ft-lb. I wonder if the bolt size was increased after the 2005 model year?

Brock Samson Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 OK, I'm stumped....what are these little guys that came with the rear hardware kit? And where do they go? They're not in the vacation pix or any other schematics I've been able to find, and there wasn't anything like this when I took the rears apart. http://imgur.com/a/JpXct I'm also getting what sounds like a little bit of brake drag while driving, and kinda thinking these little guys may have something to do with it.

Andrew1707 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Reviving this thread(hopefully). Changed both fronts And rears using this write up. Very helpful, Just got new to me Front calipers and brackets, I’ve rebuilt the caliper with new pistons and boots. Also have new slide pins but I forgot which side uses the “lock pin” and what side uses the straight pin, Tried em both ways And with/without the rubber grommet seal thing on the lock pin...just want to be sure before replacing rusted old calipers.

WahooNo2 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 the clips in the picture look like wear indicators for the pads closest to the caliper pistons. Most brakes have them on the pads already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
