Wanted to take a second to thank you for posting this video. I just finished changing all four Rotors and Pads with little to no problems. Feel like a million bucks that my success saved my family a couple hundred dollars. It's a great feeling and I had the confidence to do this because of the quality of your video and explanations. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Thank you Jim. You are the person to mention those washers on the back of the brackets on the rear. I've watched about 20 videos and i thought I was ready. Not hardly. After I had started I had to stop, put everything back together again and take the car to a local shop to put a torch to the 2 screws on all 4 wheels. Also I have to redo the rears because I have to alighn the caliper cross notch and put those washers back. Excellent tutorial, thank you.

It's always a pleasure to watch an experienced mechanic do a job. The only thing I am more careful about is with the grease. Always avoid or clean grease from any braking surfaces, pad faces and rotors. Also the calipers get very hot, excess grease on the clips could drip or wick on to the braking surfaces later. Apparently most mechanics don't worry about this. Jim changed gloves to avoid some of that.

I just did my front set of brake pads, they’re really good quality they’re the most expensive ceramic that advanced had, I replaced the hardware as well as the spreader clips, everything is nice and tight and where it should be but when I’m now driving down the road I’m hearing a grind or scrape that increases with my speed, not when my foot is on the brake. I’m hearing it specifically on the driver front, I’m going to take it all apart tomorrow and make sure hardware is seated and everything but I am stumped

It likely is you didnt clean/remove rust under the hardware so the brake pads are having a tough time backing off the rotor.

Excellent video, thanks. I know this is an old vid, but I could use some help. Naturally, after easily replacing my 2 fronts and left rear, my right rear had to give me problems. The rotor turns fine, it's not seized, but I can't fully retract the caliper piston. It moves fine but then gets snagged with about 1/4 inch left to retract. I've tried everything that I could think of to get it to fully retract, with no luck. I tried spraying some PB Blaster on the piston cylinder, but that didn't work either. This is SO aggravating because I only need a little more retraction to fit the caliper over the new pads, but it just won't budge any further. Any ideas??? Would opening the bleeder make any difference? How about the E-Brake, does that have any impact on retracting the piston? I'm out of ideas, and I don't want to just buy a new caliper if I don't need one.

@josequintana6526 10 ай бұрын

Jim, fantastic video. What happens if you can't get those thin washers to stay in place when you put the bolt back through? Is there some adhesive I could use to keep those from falling out? Also, are wire spreaders necessary on all installs? Pads I bought did not come with wire spreaders. Lastly, I changed out the rubber boots on the slider pins and when I put silicone grease on the pin, most of the silicone came out toward the front of the boot when I put the pin back in.. Seemed like I should have removed the slide pin and boot, and then put the silicone behind the rubber boot on the slider pin in order to grease it properly. Any thoughts?Thanks for all your fantastic videos.

QUESTION: I’ve done brakes for years. When moving the piston to put in new brake pads , do you open up the brake fluid cap to alleviate the pressure? Or does that allow air into the system? Maybe it doesn’t matter if the cap stays closed during the entire process.

No, the pistons on the rear calipers needs to be turned in. Some of the auto part stores sell a small cube shaped tool for less than $10 with the tips that fit inside the piston grooves. The cube will then fit on the end of a 3/8 drive extension so you can turn the piston in.

I just changed my brakes on my 2012 accord. It did not come with new clips or Springs so I went back and bought the hardware kit. Unfortunately nothing fit properly so I reused the old factory installed springs and clips. Everything looked pretty clean and slid around pretty good so I did not re-grease anything. Are used Napa ultra premium rotors and Akebono ProAct pads. Do you think this is OK? I just ran out of time and couldn't secure brand new clips in Springs.

Didn't know you could have the indicator facing in and still have the break pads on the wrong side. Totally lost track of what goes where. Even lost track of which clip goes where. Total nightmare. Next break installation will be much easier. Although, the clips seem to fit perfectly, and the indicators are both on the inside so I'm not sure how they're still making noise. Also put grease on outside of pads and on clips. Just gonna try to figure out what goes where based off this video (I have a 2010 Honda accord) then if it keeps making the noise just gonna have to see if new rotors make a difference. Although it wasn't making the noise before the break pad change. So much trouble.
