Thanks for the video. Honda dealership wanted to charge me $114.50 to replace all 3 of my brake lights. I laughed in the service advisor face and respectfully declined. Drove to the local autozone and spend $25 on 2 pairs of bulbs and 20 minutes of my time later..working brake lights.

Hi great video 👍🏼. I have a 2008 Honda Civic 1.8l and I’m having issues with the calibers sticking. I installed new calibers, slider pins, rotors, brake pads and both front brake line hoses. I’m still getting sticky calibers causing the rotors to get hot while driving. I did a complete brake flush to make sure there’s no air in the lines and filled the brake fluid reservoir to the correct full level but can not seem to find the problem. There’s no leaks around the master cylinder, no ABS or break lights on and the brake lines look good. Brake fluid runs through the front and back brake lines properly. I’m stuck on this one. If you or anyone have any ideas on what my issue is can you please let me know. There’s no ABS or any warning lights, no codes. Thank you.

@science2781 3 жыл бұрын

You have to turn the plastic screw a couple of turns counterclockwise. If you don't do that, the screw spreads the arms of the lower piece and it won't fit back in the hole. To put the retaining screw back in, the idea is to loosen the screw so that the lower arms can come in to a narrow diameter, then theses arms will fit in the hole. Then when you tighten the screw it expands those arms back out so that the retaining piece won't pop back out of the hole. It is a common connector in Honda's, Toyota's and Lexus. If you try to hammer it back into the hole (...she said) it will ruin the connector. You can buy new ones at the dealership. They are about $1 each, but hey, we learned our lesson.
