Legacy brake calipers

[RJ Walsh]

My 1997 Legacy 2.5GT sedan (Canada) needs complete brake job: calipers,
rotors and pads.

Question: If UAP NAPA parts search shows 15 inch wheels and car sticker
shows 205/55/16 as are installed then will their brake parts fit my car?

They say theirs parts list also shows 1 piston and 2 piston calipers.
Mine has 2 piston in the front and 1 piston in the back.

Does anyone have any recommendations or web links for bleeding procedure
once the new parts are in?

And, more out of curiosity than importance, do all manual transmission
cars with rear wheel disc brakes have a small version of a drum brake
inside the rear rotors for the parking brake? Or is this particular to
Subaru?

On the upside, removal of the 2 main caliper bolts was not too bad with
some persuasion (boxwrench clamped to the bolt and a 1 pound ball pein
hammer)and the rest was easy except for the annoying drum pad adjuster
inside the rear caliper.

Re. small drum brakes, How Stuff Works has some info on this in their disk
brakes section:

As a note, my 2000 Legacy and the1982 Mercedes I had before that have the
drum-in-disk system.

My BMW 7-er uses this setup as well for parking brake.

UAP provided the parts to test the fit on "return if they don't" basis.
They fit.

Thanks for your responses
