Is it the same for the front pads and rotors?
Thank you for this video. We had to drill thru the 10mm bolts which connect to the spoiler. Both were so rusty they broke. Sending tomorrow the spoiler to a guy who can 3D print parts for me. Its very hard to find parts for my Eclipse since there's been only 56 registered in 2007. (In my country.) Dont know how many of the Eclipse's are here today in 2024 but i havent seen other Eclipses here. But yeah, thanks man, this video is a lifesaver for me.
Brad - No big car updates also Brad - bought a new car 😂
Ozone machines are cool but dangerous. Literally it’s 03 machine instead of 02 - the extra oxygen particle will bond to remove the smell - or with anything around it including your lungs. Don’t use it indoors and give at least 48 hours to fully air out, but yeah they work great.
Yeah that’s the general vibe that I get, kinda wild you can even buy them. -Andrew
Hello there I am analyzing your [ Auto Off Topic ] UA-cam channel. you are making great videos but not getting that viewer according to your videos. As an SEO expert, I understand your videos are not SEO properly. basically due to not doing SEO your video does not reach a worldwide audience. Due to this, the video does not get views, subscribers, and comments. I suggest you SEO your videos properly, your channel will improve greatly. why are you not solving these problems? Your channel is not progressing due to these issues. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and Regards, Mahmud
Thanks a ton for this video. I've watched probably 2-3 of these for the crosstrek and yours is the only one to mention the size of the bolts to remove the rotor (M8x1)! Cheers.
Has good guts
You’ll get it registered with the vintage plate if you go to the Boston office. Definitely better to try once it is titled with a regular plate and transfer. The complexity is registering up front with it.
Ok I’ll give that a try, -Andrew
"Promo SM"
M8 BOLTS!
I have the same car 2005 .If i see correct the old suspension was KYB why don't go with the same ?
When you say make sure the parking brake is off, do you mean to make sure the car is not in park? Or just make sure the emergency brake isn’t engaged (mine is manual). When I did the front brakes, my car was turned off and in park. But I can’t put the car in neutral and turn the car off to make sure the car parking brake is off. Is this what you mean? Or am I overthinking it? Just keep the car off and in park like every other job? Just don’t engage the e-brake?
I can´t rotate the brake rotor to get the adjustement hole in the right position.
Maybe the ebrake is pulled, or the car is in gear or park. If you only have one of the rear wheels up and one on the ground it might not spin.
I don´t have ebrake and I tried taking it uot of gear. But maybe I need to get both rear wheels of the ground.@@AutoOffTopic
😕 'Promo SM'
Very good! 😊
Could you please help me with advice from pads for subaru crosstrek 2019 very hard to install pads so tight
Are torque specs for mounting bracket caliper bolts same for front side?
I have a 2002 g20, it's very similar
Just saved me $120!
Easiest brake pad job I have ever done on any car. You can swing the calipers up by removing the bottom caliper bolt only and makes the job so easy.
Promo'SM ❤️
I feel like people need to address how to raise the rear of the car without worrying that the car will roll forward for newbies. That part has always been omitted in every tutorial by anyone
Thank you for this!
Where is the fuel filter on a Mitsubishi Galant 1999 located?
That's not survival, it's cold weather camping. Go out there with nothing else but what you're wearing, and then we'll talk about how we're gonna try to survive. People who get lost in the woods or their vehicles break down are the only ones that impress me by actually having to keep it together to survive. Anyone can go out and buy the best propane stove, tents and knives from Walmart and call it survival. Sorry Cupcake, but if you want to learn to survive, have someone with you who can bring all that stuff when you can't get a fire going to keep you warm and saves your life. But do go out with said person and give it a go. You will see that it's not that easy to survive in the harsh environment that you've suddenly found yourself in. Good luck, take care, and stay safe.
Whats the size of the 2 bolts to take off the rotors? Thank you.
Thank you!
Awesome video. Just a note the m8 bolts were m8 1.25 pitch. Not 1. Thanks
what tool did you use to measure the actual torque amount needed on the bolts at 16:29. Thank you.
What are you sliding the clips to? Are those body clips or bolts?
Why does this type of car need to have the rotors replaced along with the break pads? Why was it designed to replace both at the same time, not just the brake pads?
@@andrewpascarella2741 Thank you for the response to clear up a dispute about changing the break pads and rotors 🙂
If you tie the top & bottom of the shock together before you jack up the truck the shock will stay compressed and be much easier to remove. Same goes for installation. Compress the shock, tie it off, install, release the tie and let the shock expand into the top mount
Can I ask where you got the torque limits?
Factory Service Manual
@@AutoOffTopic Where can you find one of these manuals?
@@nathanmrg2 typically in the glove box of the car or online
I can't wait for door seals and sunroof repair
Spot on! Thanks man!
Is this with eye sight?
It’s the same process with eye sight. Doesn’t make a difference. Just did the brakes and rotors on mine and same thing.
I just picked up an Alltrack with only 17k miles and two things I've noticed. First, after driving it for a while, the engine seems pretty hot although the temperature gauge is normal. Second,, I smell what seems like a faint smell of maybe anti-freeze. I have never owned a Volkswagen so not sure if this is normal. Any thoughts?
So I noticed the same thing, this is also my first VW. Occasionally I get a faint coolant smell outside the car, I think this is just from the expansion tank. Newer cars tend to run a bit hotter for emissions I believe, also you’ve got a turbo under there heating stuff up. As long as that temp gauge stays at the half way mark, you’re probably fine.
@@AutoOffTopic both your cars having a very slow leak at the waterpump, thermostat assembly if you are slowly losing coolant and smell it but don’t see any puddles. These waterpump assembly are 100% plastic and have been revised over 7 times so far. If you can see dried coolant around the assembly, then it’s leaking. Also running “hot” is just a normal thing for turbocharged German cars.
The exact video i was looking for. I have done the brakes on all of my own vehicles for years. But this is my wife's first brand new vehicle ever. So i wanted to be sure i knew what i was getting into before touching it.
I'll actually be doing the fronts soon this car is now at about 45k miles with a lot of stop and go highway/city driving. Glad it helped you.
Awesome video. I have never tried anything like this before, but I want to try to replace the rotors and brake pads on my son's 2018 Crosstrek. When I search for brake rotors, I am very confused. Some of the rotors come up with a diameter of 274 mm and some come up with a diameter of 293 mm for the same front rotor. What size rotors do I need for the front and rear? They appear to be of different size. Also, what brand do you prefer?
Front and rear rotors are typically different sizes. I don't know the sizes, I just purchased these parts online from Subaru. You can buy Subaru parts online in the U.S and pick them up at a local dealer.
How does this setup drive? I was thinking about getting them. My 1g is at full weight. Why did you get the 441+ instead of the 441 with standard spring?
I think they ride great. I mean coming from blown AGXs (they always blow) it's so much better. I've had other coilovers in the past with swift springs. They are well know brand. So I spent the extra $$ for them. I actually just installed a set on my GVR4 and I need to finish the video for those.
ohhh that looked a lot easier than I thought it would be. I may just go ahead and do this now.
3d printing is saving cars with NLA parts
Probably a good time to refresh the brake fluid
Thank you for the video!!! Big help!
Well done
Where can I contact blisterboi?
What year is this car? Mines in the back seat
Wow great video, thanks so much for making it.
Could you please link these? I have a 1990 and my auto hubs are failing. I looked on ebay but the only hubs I can find are for 91+
I honestly don't remember were I got these, but they are cheaper than the ASINs and that's why I installed them. I would actually recommend going with the ASINs.
www.ebay.com/itm/183012767465 These are the exact ones and the same place I ordered them from AVM 443s, yes it says 91+ but they work for 82+ . I put them on here and other folks in the Montero Community have used them too.
