2013-2017 Subaru XV Crosstrek Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement

It's time for rear brakes on my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV.
For several weeks I've been hearing a screeching from the rear passenger side brakes.
I almost scheduled an appointment at a local brake shop, but I HATE sitting around at a repair shop waiting for my vehicle to get repaired. I knew I could save a fortune doing this project myself, so that's what I decided to do.
I've done disc brake replacement several times, many years ago, so this was an easy project.

Tools required are mentioned at the beginning of this video.
I didn't mention a C-Clamp, which is one method of compressing the piston back into the caliper.
A large flat blade screwdriver is also needed.
Another method of compressing the piston is with this tool: https://amzn.to/3GOockc
