I changed the oil and brake pads a couple days ago on my 95 wagon. My first time doing Subaru brakes--dude, what a cinch!

Yeah, the hardest part for me was getting the rim off the hub, it had rusted in place. Everything else was a snap. Welcome to subie maintenence

you obviously haven't tried to attack your rotors.. when trying to get the 'shoe' part off.. and your bolts are so rust welded on there that you shear them, and have to drill & tap them out.. grr!

but yeah.. i love working on my subi, it's so easy!

I did full front brakes on the car, replaced the rotors, and the pads. Everyting else came apart good. I replaced all the struts and all those bolts seemed in good enough shape. a couple needed some heat, but came out fine.
