Model: Subaru Crosstrek GP, MK 1 - Years 2012-2017
Part: Brake pads

To replace the front brake pads on a Subaru Crosstrek, lift the vehicle so you can remove the bolts securing the corresponding front wheel. Once the wheel is completely removed, you can unscrew the bolts securing the brake caliper, allowing it to be detached from the brake rotor. This way, the pads inside can be removed and replaced with new replacement parts. After the replacement, reposition the caliper, securing it with the bolts, and reinstall the corresponding wheel.
