How To: Subaru Parking Brake Assembly - 99 Impreza/Forester
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2023
- In this video I walk through the steps to assemble the parking brake system on a 99 Impreza. This should also apply to other Subaru models of the same generation, or at least be very similar.
This episode was a bit of a side note in the middle of my braking system overhaul, which you can also watch here.

This is an amazing video. Immensely helpful. No stupid music. Thank you!
That's a good demo. One of the disappointing lessons from professionals is the way most pros completely ignore the parking brakes when doing a typical brake job. There's a separate fee code for parking brakes and if you didn't pay for it they won't touch them. Eventually the parking brake gets seized, which can create a big problem if the drum won't pull off. I find those lower star wheels get very rusty and corroded. Amateurs have more of a chance to do things properly because we aren't racing to get the car out the door. I like to put antiseize on those medial metal to metal contact points, and of course lube the rotating mechanism for the star wheel with high temp grease on the threads. More than once I've had to take it all off and find a cause for noise, often inside the parking brake where hardware rubs on the backing plate.
Awesome 👍🏼
Bruh thanks for sharing this cuz I’m about to do it and I’m not looking forward to it
I do wish there was a link or something more about the parts kit tho not hating tho
For some reason when I didn’t mine the bottom spring rubbed on the hub I had to put the bottom spring in the same location but behind everything so it wouldn’t rub against hub
What year and model is this for? Much different hardware and shapes than a 2015 Impreza.
