Raise your hand if you’re here because you replaced your rear hub and had to disassemble the parking brake to wail on the hub with a sledge hammer and now don’t remember how it goes back. Raise your second hand if you earned yourself a new backing plate too with a bad hammer swing.
If anyone is having trouble removing a stuck rotor, there are two threaded holes near the center of the rotor. They are a common bolt found around some of the mounting hardware for the brake lines on the upper control arm. Just thread them in and it will free the rotor without the need to thrash it with a mallet.
Thanks for this video man! Helped me a ton on my 2013 XV Crosstrek. One thing though, maybe show the spring to the camera when you pick one up so the viewer can be confident they have the right one. You're amazing!
It all depends how you reinstall that spring or the wheel is if you don't install it the way it came off then you'll have to go opposite direction of what shows in video
Thank you 🙏! I watched a number of videos on the rear brakes on subaru forester, most never touched on the parking brake, the only few had it were on different models so they were not much of help. The parking brake in your video is the exact the same as my forester. This is a big help!

10:52 clockwise? That's not helpful. You're looking at the "clock" on edge. Clockwise is an arbitrary direction from this position.

Buy the little bag of new springs, pins, and fiddly bits. Doesn't cost much, saves you a big headache. I'm sure TRQ sells them.

Would this be the same for a 2015 Forester? Thanks!
At minute 8:14 the metal plate. Where can I find this?
