You do not need a scan tool. It just makes it easier than winding them in manually. Oem service manual will tell you both procedures.
Remember when you could work on your car without the use of electronics.
You definitely do not need a scan tool to retract the E parking brake. You also don’t need to use battery power and jumper wires that many videos show. All you have to do is use a pinned caliper tool to turn the piston back until it stops. Then you push the piston back into the caliper like any normal brake job. Mr. Subaru has a lot of great info. This video was not one of them.
I replaced the rear brakes without the scan tool. Everything seems to function correctly. What issues will I run into if I don't use the scan tool? All I did was rotate the piston in till they bottom out, then pushed piston in the rest of the way to allow propper pad placement. Buttoned everything back up and everything is functioning properly. E-brake and all. Please let me know what issues may come about by skipping the scan tool. I am assuming all it does is rotate the screw portion back so you don't need the rotating break tool. thank you
I have a 2019 basic Impreza with a hand brake. No need for this electronic bs that doesn't work if you don't have power.
Update! I was able to do this with my $39 Autel AP200. Thanks for the video.
I know you’re “by the book” but you can get away with simply removing the EPB from the caliper, then retracing the piston without a scan tool. I’ve even heard of people cycling the motor by jumping a battery to it to get it to retract. But removing on Subarus is pretty easy. Definitely not what youre supposed to do, but its 2 bolts and an o-ring holding it on, just clean and grease when you put it back on after retracing the piston. No scantool needed.
Soon we'll need a scan tool to replace studs.
From an experienced mechanic working on German cars up to 2022 I would tell you something easy and simple remove the parking brake motor two bolts alen head or start head remove the caliper rotate the spin on head in the back of caliper clock wise until it stops do not push hard by force when it stops push the caliper piston with your own hand inside you don't need any tools it's safer takes more time but you won't damage the parking brake motors that cost over $300 each
Can tell these people have never done rear brakes on a 19 forester. The caliper will not compress far enough just by turning it for it to fit over the rotor with new pads. I literally just did this 20 minutes ago and found out.
Again, an excellent video.. so well done, clear, concise and I am a DIY on cars, a Marine Diesel professional. These are so informative and you never assume anything. Thanks .. keep them coming
Great video - yet again. I'm glad I bought a base 2020 WRX manual that still has the mechanical parking brake!
Just wanted to say thanks for all your super informative videos! You do a great job!!
I love your videos, and as the owner of a used 2011 Outback, I appreciate all of your work done on your brother's 2011. That said, please take the following with a grain of salt: as a professional aircraft mechanic since I was 20 years old and a heavy automotive DIYer, now at the age of 69, I wince when I see your hands being used as a hammer. Years of doing the exact same thing as shown at
I built a harness with a switch and cigarette lighter plug which retracted the brake piston for me on a 2019 Outback and had no problems. You had to be aware of the polarity to insure the caliper completely retracted. The terminals had to be directly attached to the caliper harness pins, so you do NOT damage the circuitry. Made it easy for me. Appreciate the install demonstration of the lug studs.
That was something new. Thanks for the video on electronic breaks. This gave me some good insight and or information. 👍
Never even thought of this when I bought it, but boy am I glad my ‘21 is a 6mt with the old fashioned parking brake.
Thanks for the video Robert nicely done 👍✅. Take care of yourself and family ❤️ and be Blessed ❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks for showing this property install if rear pads on a modern car
I did my breaks(front and rear) on my 19 sport without a scan tool with no issue. Just did it the normal way of pushing and screwing in the parking breaks and used a c clamp on my calipers. Easy Peasy. Im sure the scan tool does make it a tad easier tho.
