Very helpful.... Thank you I watched the video and did the front brakes first exactly like you said nice and easy.. couple months later now the backs are gone.. so I'll be doing them this weekend following your video, again thank you. 😁😎

From 99 to 01 Odyssey had drum brakes. It went to disc in 02

Thanks for the video... Installed powerstop kit today. Inner brake pad won't go in. I'll have to stop by the dealership and get an OEM brake clips. Spent a hour and a half with no luck trying to install inner pad.

I also had a hard time with the inner bracket. It took me at least 30 minutes to get it. But maybe OEM brackets could work? You might try reusing the brackets that were on the pads before you started the project. Just be sure to clean them up really good and apply a thin layer of anti-seize lubricant.

@@DIYJeff yeah, using the old factory clips made a difference. Easy to install the pads. It's a lot thinner and flexible compared to the powerstop brake clips. Thanks for the help!

@@dangeles00, that's great news you got them in!

ive never had to use old shims on any brake job.

Use an impact driver on those bolts to remove the rotor.

Never punch a broken off bolt. Drill it out smaller than the threads.

I’m sorry to point out but, if you do a google search you’ll see that you placed your jack stand in the wrong place. It goes in the longer part that hangs down not the slotted area. Thanks

Thank you sir, great video doing my wife’s 02 tomorrow!

Thanks for the feedback. It's a slow video, but I wish I had this follow along guide the first time I ever changed disc brakes and rotors. This one was made more for the first time beginner.

Great video... But the feeler or scratcher on the inside rear pad looks like it is on the inboard side of the pad. How does it make contact with the rotor if it's pointed away from the rotor?

Nice video but do not use copper anti seize over the guide pins, especially the ones that have rubber bushings on them. A synthetic rubber safe grease should be used. Also the guide pins with rubber bushings are always the lower ones in the caliper to dampen sound.

@Danial Khan, thanks for the tip. You are correct. After looking into after you posted your comment, the anti seize can congeal and cause them to seize. Honda recommends not using anything.

@Danial Knan, I've put a note in the video description about the anti-seize. Thanks again.

I see that you had the same thought about the slotted rotors that I did. I however regret having had that idea. I've learned that Hondas don't like aftermarket parts - at all! I ended up replacing pads and rotors with OEM parts. And man, what a difference that made for smooth brake operation. Total night and day. I promptly apologized to my Odyssey and told her never again! :)

I was thinking about it but thank you my e brake on my is very week and drum brakes job was rare to do that was the main reason why i went gor that.

Excellent video. One thing that might be helpful, just like you it was difficult for me to insert the inside brake pad on the front brakes. If you remove the caliper mounting hardware instead of trying to install the brake pad with it in place, you can insert the brake pad from the center and push it to the outside easily, then slide the mounting bracket with brake pads installed over top of the rotor then install the mounting bolts to hold it in place. This keeps you from having to try to jockey the brake pad around the blocking structure of the caliper mount. I love your pacing and editing, you say what's necessary and remove the tedious parts and don't ramble. Many guys will add in 10 min of wasted repetitive rambling, you don't. Keep it up!

I just did the front pads on my 04 Odyssey. Now the brakes are slipping, I guess because of the bedding process. I also used brake cleaner on my rotors, which I think might have something to do with the reduced braking power. How long did it take for you to bed in your brakes? And did you spray brake parts cleaner on your rotors?

This was helpful.

danr97123, it's a committment of time, but replacing brakes and rotors on your own car can save you hundreds of dollars. The parts to do all four slotted rotors and ceramic brakes was about $270 from rockauto.com. If I had this work done at a local shop I would pay $800-900. The great thing is that this procedure is almost identical for all makes and models of vehicles.

I bought my 2002 Odyssey 2 years ago and the guy put front and rear rotors and brakes on. Don't you do the rear every other brake change typically?? So may just have to do the front??

@DIYJeff

Heli4213 , great question. The reason I replaced all mine is because I had put more than 100,000 miles on it and didn’t know the history of it before that. So I wanted to start with a clean slate. If the rotors and break pads on the rear were replaced 2 years ago, under normal wear they should be good for several more. The rear brakes only apply 30% of the vehicles stopping power. In fact, you could probably just replace the pads in the front and not even touch the rotors unless you know they have warped.

Just got quoted from BIG O tires here in Reno....about $700.... for "Just the Rear' Brakes; Rotors pads, and labor. is that about what it would normally cost?

@DIYJeff

That’s pretty high.. the pads and rotors I installed on my Odyssey were high end and I paid less than $200 for the rear.

Smedley Butler, you are correct. I mis-stated it in the video. The shop manual calls for 79.6ftlb on the flange bolts, the same as the lug nuts. I have these torque specs listed in the video description.

@@DIYJeff Great video though I did the job yesterday and it came out great thanks!

The author doesn't recommend an Impact Driver, these are handheld & cost less than $25. He made this job a lot more difficult by stripping one of the screws that holds the rotor on, this is where you use the Impact Driver, super easy, they're cheap & will save you a lot of headache. Also, definitely DON"T recommend using a hammer without cushioning those surfaces with a towel. Not the best video imo but appreciate the author's effort.

What about bleeding the brakes?

@Donald89890

2 жыл бұрын

I watched a video: They said you should bleed your brakes, especially if you haven't replaced your fluid in a while. The fluid will break down, especially if you had air in the system which causes the fluid to heat up. Use a turkey baster and suck the old fluid out of the master cylinder and replace with new. Bleed the farthest caliper cylinder from the master cylinder 1st (most cases its: right rear, then left rear, then right front, then left front). You want clean fluid at all 4 wheels. Also inspect the lines for any sign of breaks or tears and replace promptly.

@Agape, yes, bleeding the brakes is always a good idea if it hasn’t been done in 50,000 miles, whether you’re replacing your brake pads or not. It just wasn’t the scope of the video.

@@DIYJeff You are referencing a "Service Manual". Matt referenced "Owner's Manual". I opened my Honda manual an it says to use the "jacking point tab", that's the point they formed specifically to be used for raising the vehicle and it fits the onboard jack they engineered to fit that tab. So, not calling anyone out but pointing folks to the Honda Bible which superseds any service manual. Plus, I've only ever used the tabs to raise this beast of metal - she's a big gal!
