Gonna do the disks and pads on all 4 wheels. One is warped and easier and quicker to just replace everything. all 4 rotors are rusted anyways

Grab a set of M8 x1.25 bolts if you don’t have already. Most of the rotors on Subarus have provisions to use them as jacking screws on the hub to free stuck rotors.

Also, I’m curious what you are choosing for pads and rotors.

I have a vast collection of spare bolts in my garage so I should be ok.  I forgot what make I bought, but the disks are coated so the should not turn in to rust as quick

The rear rotors always give me a bit of trouble usually because I forget to loosen up the e brake cable using the adjuster behind the hub. So heads up there if you aren’t aware of it already
