Real nice video. Short no drawn-out stuff yet some fun dialogue at the same time

Great video, the tool sizes save time and I appreciate that.

thank you for this quick tutorial, cant wait to fix my rotor after 5/6 year of purchase

I would have used some anti-seize lubricant on the retainer clips (which you didn't replace I guess) where they meet the pads. Would have also cleaned where the rotor sits and added some lube there too. With that much rust, you're probably going to have some issues with everything sitting well.

Very easy voice & video

Helpful!

Great video, is there any procedure with regard to adjusting the handbrake when replacing the rear rotors?

Thanks

If you take the bracket off first it's a lot easier because of that brake pad pin that holds it to the caliper I also drill out that screw on the rotor if it doesn't come right out that could be a real headache

Great video. The pad and rotor kids include grease. I didn’t notice you use any? Do the pads need grease on the ends or just the sliders bolts.

Did you lubricate the slider pins before re-install? Thanks....

No need to lubricate them if they move easy

@@k9casablankino845 Wrong , the slide pins should be cleaned and lubricated ( I use 3M high temp silicone grease ) at every brake pad replacement. Many also have a rubber component that often comes with new brake pads and should be replaced as well. Ask any mechanic or anyone who does their own work and cares about their vehicle.

Nice and to the point. Thanks! Q: Did you replace the pad retaining hardware/clips? Couldnt tell.

No I typically don't if they're not damaged, the original ones are thicker and provide less squeal. But do whatever you feel most comfortable with

How did you compress the piston? Straight down or "turn and down"?

It just goes down

Maybe I wouldn't hate working on cars if I didn't live on the east coast

I spent maybe an hour an half just inserting brake pad with three prongs on the caliper.

Great job but why didn’t you clean the piston and rotors?

Rotors were replaced. I ran a wire wheel in the piston I don’t think I showed it though. It’s boring to watch

My rotor completely stuck. A simple love tap did nothing... about to get domestic violence charges with the amount of beating I've been trying with ZERO luck. Any ideas?

WD40 in the center where it sits on the hub and smack the outside area of it hard if you're replacing them because the face will be ruined

Excellent video. I really like the stubby impact tool. Could you give us some details on this tool, if you don’t mind?

Do you torque the caliper bolts to a certain foot pound or just tighten by them as much as possible? Thanks!

Just tighten them as tight as you can and I guarantee you that they will break. Just joking. Anyone not using a torque wrench is a fool.

this video is not for a 2016 hr-v awd ex-l .the caliper does not press back like in the video, it has a plastic motor unit on the caliper. this has to removed to depress caliper back and first adjust caliper on the back side where the plastic unit was

Of course not, this is for a CR-V. The awd models will have some changes as well.

If the rust is that bad. Chances are the interior of the calipers is just as bad. Just replace the calipers. $120 and you take away all of that headache. Get some good rustoleum spray paint to paint the calipers and brackets. Where did this guy get his powder coated rotors?

missing a lot of steps

So that rubber is a cover to an access hole to adjust the brake shoes as they sometimes may need to be adjusted when replacing rotors. Just make sure to take it off the old rotor and put it on the new one.

I have a question. We have a 2016 CRV SE AWD and I'm about to do a brake job on the rear (later on, the front). In watching lots of these types of videos, in some where the model year is older, like 2011 to 2013 or so, the rear rotors seem to be vented. When I bought the new rotor, it was not vented. When I questioned the store about that, he said that for the 2016 he doesn't even show a vented rotor option. So then I found your video and I think you said that this was a 2015. I noticed that the rear rotors are NOT vented either! Do you know why Honda would decide to go NON vented when earlier models had vented rotors? Heat buildup is the actual problem I'm trying to resolve, so I find it so odd that these rotors are not vented. UNLESS this has to do with the rotors having a built-in drum for the emergency brake shoes. ???? Any chance you know? Thanks in advance.
