2017 Subaru Outback Rear Brakes
20

Asked by GuruNNF4K Nov 04, 2019 at 07:55 PM about the 2017 Subaru Outback 2.5i Touring AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'm replacing my rear brake pads. I just can't get the piston to push back in. I
usually use a C clamp on other cars.  But on this on I'm afraid I'll break that
housing on the back side.  I used a wheel puller to hook onto the caliper and
tried to push the piston back in.  Used quite a bit of force.   Any ideas.  
Otherwise I'll take it all apart tomorrow.  I just didn't want to have to bleed the
brakes.
