Dorman part number 484-186 can be obtained through Oreilly and Autozone. Quote:
Brake systems in comparison to clutch systems transfer very little hydraulic fluid between the master and slave (brake calipers). With brakes the primary function is a transfer of force, not motion. OEM nylon-braided lines strike a good balance between cost and effectiveness but still contribute quite a bit to sponginess in the brake pedal. Also, one brake master feeds 4 calipers with a hose at each one so the elastic effect is multiplied. The clutch system operates at a fraction of the pressure felt by the brakes and the primary function is not force but rather, the transfer of motion. Also, there is only one short hose between only two cylinders. Nylon-braided hose is just fine. If you want to prove it to yourself, grab ahold one of the wheel hoses while a friend stomps on the brake. You can feel the hose expand. Do the same with the clutch line. Nothing. If you want to add the steel braided line for the bling factor, fine. Just don't expect to feel any difference in your left foot. It ain't there.

Also, be sure to dab a little grease on both ends of the plunger (pin?) on the new slave. I still need to add that step to the process.

For the bleed nipple. Think of it like a water spigot. Take it apart to inspect it before you install it. You can see it's pretty delicate. No need to crank down on it. Here's where I specify the grease. I bought a tube of Valvoline Max Life #2 Red Grease for this application.

Just got back from Autozone and the only red#2 they had was in the below picture, will this work?
Also, Napa and Autozone both had a 14 day wait for the washers listed in the part number, but autozone did have this variety pack, which 2 are the correct ones? and Why are they copper instead of silver colored like the OEM picture on Subaru's page? |

I have the same size tube. It's going to last forever. -___- Now that you have that tube of grease, it's important to understand that different greases can be wildly incompatible. I have personally seen machines destroyed because of it. The thickening agent in grease is not the lubricant, rather it holds an oil in suspension. When incompatible greases are mixed, the suspension hardens and the oil separates leaving behind a worthless crusty mess. Just food for thought in case you're tempted to stick that tube in a gun and use it for everything.

Just wanted to post a followup and let anyone wondering whether they should do it to go for it. It was not difficult, took less than an hour of actual work time, and the pedal feels much better now. I may still swap to the MTEC spring, but I'm going to give it a few 100 miles first to make sure it's needed. Doing this swap is also a really good excuse to clean out the engine bay if you are like me and have never done so. Made it a part of my car wash routine from now on.
Also, Huge thanks to UltraMaroon for all the help he provided, the man knows his shit. |

I grabbed the exact same stuff @Eldari got from Autozone, works great. Much better feel without the helper spring. I have an Mtec one in the mail, so I'll pop it in when it gets here and report back.
