Do I need the actual caliper depresser kit, or can I do it with a C-clamp and the old pads?

You need the brake caliper compressor wind back tool. It does not compress like the old piston, it rotates is back in place. I rented mine from auto zone. But I see them on sale at Amazon now for like around $20-$25

Technically you don’t need to as it should slide back in easily.but if you do, remember to pump the brakes a few times before driving to pick up the slack.

Nice video. Thank you! Ive been looking into doing this for a while, since buying a 2022 outback wilderness. Owned numerous other vehicle types in the past and the process is a breeze. Unfortunately the newer high tech cars have a number of sensors. From reading other sites, it appears the outback needs to be put into the brake serive mode through the ecu with a obd scanner. Did you have any problems with brake error codes on your dash after your service?

Did you check the rotors for wear? Did you have them resurfaced? I have been replacing disc brake pads for several decades and, except for a Dodge Ram I owned, all rotors had to be replaced because they are made to go below minimum thickness when the pads are replaced. They could not be resurfaced.

@@andrewchua4875 Thanks for the video, however, I now have real trouble. I'm definitely not here to talk junk, just to share my experience. I followed the instructions exactly as you have them. I didn't connect to a scan tool, nor did I figure out the service mode. I can confirm that the parking brake was off when I started the work. After I finished the work, I started the car and tried to get it to move and the rear brakes were completely locked up. Ultimately, I damaged a bunch of stuff in the front end trying to get the car to move. I've been around cars and this kind of work my whole life. It's not my first brake job. But it's a different game with these newer cars. I'm glad it was easy for you. Not for me. The computerization of the brakes did me in. For those looking to do this job, it's not the mechanical stuff that's hard, just make sure you have the computer parts sorted out so you don't end up with a mess like I have. Thanks.

All I had to do was make sure the electronic parking brake was off. I believe that if it is engaged, you will not be able to turn to compress the pistons. I mentioned if you have resistance while turning them, stop as you are fighting with the actuators and may cause damage.

You can remove the parking brake component with two allen key bolts. Once it is removed the caliper piston turns MUCH EASIER. No need for the brake service mode.

@@andrewchua4875 It's the electric parking brake (EPB). You need to put it into service mode so it retracts. If you don't do this, as you did, you may not be able to compress your piston and or break your caliper. The cheap way to retract your EPB is to pull the cover off the EPB and turn the bolt to retract the brake. Another way is to use some alligator clips connected to a 12v battery and touch the 2 pins on the connector to retract the parking brake.
