As you might have guessed this is part 1 of 3, I will put links in the video and in this description to guide you to the other parts. There really is more to this video than just replacing the rear brakes. I had some trouble during this procedure and decided to keep it on video to help you in the event you ran into any of these problems. I've also added how I jack up a vehicle from the rear. In short this one is packed with a bunch of stuff that I hope you find helpful in addition to just replacing the rear pads and rotors.

@elbelcho Thanks for the great comment, I just worry if my show was on TV that I would have to change it too much and that it wouldn't be cool anymore. I probably wouldn't say no if someone asked me though.
ReplyDeleteGreat videos man, informative and entertaining, great combo. I hope you get your own tv show or something, you deserve it!
ReplyDelete@therockkkkher The caliper I think in this video is made by Asian which makes calipers for lots of Japanese manufacturers so you may find it on more than just Honda. The rubber on the pin is to help reduce noise and it is marked for it's location of the bolt head and the caliper so that you get it in the right place. I don't normally use a torque wrench on brake jobs and I defiantly don't use a torque wrench to remove fasteners, it was actually just a ratchet.
ReplyDeletehey buddy, why does the bottom slide pin have a rubber piece on it ?, 7:42, is that on just this veh., or all hondas, is it like that on all makes of vehicles ??? and 8:23, is that a torque wrench your using to take off the caliper assembly ???
ReplyDelete@kiasoul10 I'll work on that, thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteJeep liberty rear brakes CRD prefered!
ReplyDelete@thatdonk3y I did a series on drum brake shoe replacement as well if that's what you are asking.
ReplyDelete@shadow0466666594 On some calipers you need to remove the parking brake cable or it's attachments to remove the caliper. I'm not sure on your specific vehicle however what other components you would need to remove to get the caliper off.
ReplyDeleteDo you get any other type of brakes on cars? (apart from disc brakes)
ReplyDeleteDo we have to disconnect any parking brake system before opening the caliper? on my Daihatsu Applause I opened both the caliper bolts, but caliper won't come out :(
ReplyDeleteHow about bleeding clutch system....
ReplyDelete@BreadAndGatorade I would recommend from the beginning replacing the caliper. The reason is that rebuilding a caliper is really just replacing the seals, the problem comes in when the piston becomes corroded and needs to be replaced. A corroded piston will ruin new seals or not seal at all. By the time you get done with all that it would have been easier and cheaper to just replace the caliper.
ReplyDeleteI need to rebuild my rear caliper. What is the best way to remove the piston?
ReplyDeleteAlso, any general tips? I've replaced front calipers but never rebuilt. Is there anything I might find that would tell me I should replace the whole caliper and not just rebuild?
@musicmancole I could not have asked for a better comment, thanks.
ReplyDelete@ejreams Thanks for your kind words about my videos, it means a lot. To answer your question, OE will always be the best option but probably the most expensive. I don't have any issues with aftermarket rotors other than some that are packaged in a plain white box with no country of origin printed on it. However, even Honda wants you to machine brand new rotors on the car before use. I know, seems excessive, I've never done it but that's what they told me.
ReplyDeleteReally like your vids. Great explanations, decent lighting and camera work...but most of all ...kind of funny to watch. thanks man!

ReplyDeleteI was considering doing this myself but sort of leaned away, until I watched this video. You are freaking awesome, it helps so much to actually see it happening for one and two, I have a 6th generation honda accord (making it even more accurate).
ReplyDeleteI have one question, what aftermarket brand of rotors would you recommend for an accord like this one you did work on? or would you say stick to factory?
@DieselCrawler86 No worries friend, thanks for keeping me honest.
ReplyDelete@LayneC10 Yes, I have heard of that as well as a "vacula" used to bleed brakes. They are very good tools and work well. Pressure bleeding is a perfectly acceptable way to bleed brakes and if used properly will not damage any components. In fact it can be said that they are safer to use because you don't need to bottom out the master cylinder to bleed the brakes as this can damage the seals in a master cylinder if the bore is corroded enough.
ReplyDeleteOk cool thank you. Just looking at the wheels of our Accord you can't see the brakes at all cuz the rims look just like hub caps but they look like hub caps at first glance.
ReplyDelete@EricTheCarGuy Got yeah 100% just wanted to to be a pain and make you type some more :p
ReplyDeleteJust where I work if you get caught doing that kind of stuff its a loss of job on the stop. But for the home user its cool. Keep up the great video's
Eric, Have you ever heard of the Phoenix brake bleeder? That injects fluid through the bleeder. Wouldn't that mess up the M/C? What is your opinion on it? I'm considering buying one.
