Prepping an emergency kit for a Subaru. Which means I bought a tie rod tool to press the old studs out (instead of a hammer) and one of those fancy bearing washers for the install. I need to pick up some bolts in case the rotor struggles to come off. I've gathered they're M8 1.25's. Is this correct? It's a 2017 Forester.
And one last question: when I take the caliper off, will the pads/piston push in and make it impossible to get the caliper back on? Or will they stay where they were when I took it off? What tool do I need if this is a concern?
Last thing I want is a flat tire and the usual seized, thus broken, stud on a Subaru during a road trip this summer with no way to even attempt fixing it.
Thanks!
