This process of disassembly and tools needed should be same among all 2017-2023 Imprezas (sedan or wagon no matter) and 2018-2023 Crosstreks. May apply to other Subaru models as well. What I didn't mention in the video if you are doing pad replacement: pads may or may not come with what's called the pad abutments - the metal things I couldn't recall the name of in the vid ha, that clip into your caliper brackets and that the pads then go into. Also should get some brake grease if not included. Brake grease should be applied lightly both where the pad backings contact the abutments, and good idea to add a little to the areas of the caliper where the brake pads contact them - this will help keep those random squeals at bay. Even with a VIN, aftermarket parts stores may not know your Impreza's front rotor size and will tell you about two size options. If you have Base/Premium/Limited: 277mm rotor If you have Sport: 294mm rotor Rear rotor size should be same across all models of Impreza & Crosstrek these years. Note: Though same platform, I can only guess about front rotor size(s) on 2018-2023 Crosstreks. If someone can comment on those I would appreciate it!
