As you might have guessed this is part 2 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 Thank you for the great comment.
ReplyDelete@Spiegel420 This is probably my favorite comment of all time, seriously good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteGreat video, thanks again!
ReplyDeletedude!!! won't go into detail, but thanks to you and this video I got a date with a super cute girl! she came to my place and made tacos for dinner. poor girls 91 prelude rear brakes we soooo worn out they'd get red hot while driving down the road not to mention the grinding noises drove her insane. Thanks E.T.B.A.M.F.C.G!
ReplyDelete@therockkkkher Indeed, thanks.
ReplyDelete@EricTheCarGuy "fluid stays like a straw" , dang brotha you got it covered both ways then, wow, thats impressive !!! rock on !!!
ReplyDelete@therockkkkher The reason I crimp the hose is to help prevent air from getting into the system, think when you take a drinking straw from your drink with your finger over the end and pick it up out of the glass, the drink stays in the straw and the liquid doesn't come out, the same will work for air here. It also helps prevent any fluid from being forced back in the opposite direction.
ReplyDelete@therockkkkher I dont have a preferred location to crimp the hose, I just look for a place that is easy to get to.
ReplyDeleteand also chief, i understand if you move the caliper piston back in, with your drain setup, no air will enter the system, but you took , 7:38, the bleeder valve completely off ! . Wouldnt that allow air into the sytem even if its just the bottom end of the line/hose ???
ReplyDeletehey eric my man, why do you pinch / close the brake line/hose so many inches from the caliper ??? is there some reason you pinch/close it there or is there no precise place to pinch/close it as long as its pinched/closed/stopped ???
ReplyDelete@wodie08 Your welcome
ReplyDeletethank you thank you thank you
ReplyDelete@MeDNKD Well thanks for the great comment and best of luck with the job. Let me know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteExcellent... )parts 1, 2 & 3,as well as your front brake job video. I will be attempting to replace all four brakes and rotors on my 1998 honda accord this week.. I now feel confident thanks to your superb video... made simple for simpletons like myself. Thanks so much.
ReplyDelete@aristas30002000 Sometimes when you reinstall the springs sometimes the rubber on the upper strut mount gets out of place. You can see a "witness" mark where the spring used to sit in it's rubber mount, you need to try and get it back there if you can after installing the new strut. See if this is the case, if not, let me know.
ReplyDeletehi eric whats up man i have a question for you hope you can help me i just changed the front struts on a 1994 honda civic and now im all done but it sound like the spring is rubbing on somthing it even looks like the spring went back on kinda bowed out a little what causes that and how can i fix it please help me please
ReplyDelete@kai21787 Cool, I'll have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteharbor freight makes this cool tool that helps move the piston back in. I think it was like 3.99. Looks like a big cube that accepts a 3/8th's ratchet end.
ReplyDelete@biddymagee Thank you very much for that, glad you liked it.
ReplyDelete@MrHvm1985 Thanks for that comment. I learn stuff all the time too like yesterday when I said "this brake job is going to be easy", after an hour I learned otherwise.
ReplyDelete@Spiegel420 Thank you! I think I'm going to do a video on tools at some point.
ReplyDelete@CravinMorehead420 It works very well, better than the one I bought. :)
ReplyDelete@KNTRIDER Glad I could help, thanks for the comment.
ReplyDelete@gjmvi Special elven magic.
