Thanks I saw a thread on it somewhere still makes me nervous messing with the breaks, when I order my new callipers I'll see if my brother can help me out he's in the Toronto Subaru club he's got some good mechanic buddies to

It's very easy to do! Hardest part is breaking the bolts free because they can be on there pretty tight. That's why I recommend the breaker bar.
