Great video. Everyone who does this job has the perfect tool to wind back the brake disc so the calliper fits over the new pads. It's the metal edge of one of the used brake pads you just took off. The metal backing of the pad is just thick enough to go into the + on the front of that disc and you can turn it by hand or with a vice grip holding the old brake pad. It's so perfect I'm sure somebody at Honda design must have done this on purpose but nobody put it in the repair guide.

I have the little cheap square tool and it always does the job. Never thought about the brake pad working just as well though. Brilliant.

Awesome sause! I was wondering how I can twist this without a tool!!

Thank you. Video was right on the money for my 2011 Honda Accord. Also, I used the edge of a 1" Wood Chisel to turn (Clockwise) the Piston back in.

ragsamar that’s clever, I use a pair of needle nose pliers “opened slightly”

In addition to the great information he provided, always clean factory coatings from new and still usable used rotors...they may flash rust lightly on the surface but that is normal and is removed by the pads. Brake rotors rust all the time...it is normal. Also be sure to add the brake grease to the back of the pad that sits between the caliper piston and the rotor...it will prevent brake squeal and help transfer heat back into the caliper.

Dude, your video saved me! I've changed brake pads 3 times in my life, so I thought I knew what I was doing. I was trying to use a damn c-clamp to push that piston back, then i bought a heavy duty spreader, the piston won't budge..I was getting so frustrated, like wtf is wrong..do I need to bleed out the brake line or something. Then I saw your video and I'm like oooooooh got to twist the effing thing...

Thanks. Very good video explaining all the stuff I need to know in a good way. I will change my back breaks next week now :)

My buddy. Told me the same thing about low break fluid. I had no idea. I had to change my front brakes and rotors as well. Thanks. Next are the back ones too.

Great video , has all the looks and info needed to do this job right

Thank you so Much Matt Now this is what i call a tutorial!

Thank you... headed out this morning to change mine.

Great and very helpful video!!! Thanks!!!

I just did brakes on a 2011 Honda Accord Crossover, the rear calipers were the push in type not screw in. Just a fyi in case you're working on one. Thanks for the video.

Im guessing if you see the big "X" then it must turn, vs push back in. Always something, or a special tool that they want you to buy, to do simple maintenance

Thanks. I hadn't seen the turning caliper before today. Had to improvise.

Yeah , good job. Well explained. Thanks

good job

Great video. The only thing I'll add is that the brakes should be bleed, even though the system wasn't open. Brake fluid isn't made to last forever. Most brake fluid is recommended to be changed every 50,000-100,000 miles. Worth bleeding the brakes to get new fluid in the entire system. I only use Honda specific fluids, except oil. Their coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid and power steering are all superior in Honda's because the fluids are engineered specifically for Honda parts.

Great video but I'm having trouble putting the caliber back on but the pistons are not sliding back and forth like when you took the one part to the table

I manufactured a tool to turn the caliber in. I took a three quarter inch piece of pipe and ground for nachos in it to make a look like a tee And used a pair of players to turn the caliber back in. It was a simple solution before buying tools

Use a hammer impact tool Thor’s screws come right out. And clean the rust off the ears of you cal bracket and caliper. With a wire brush

3/8 extension fits

What lube you using mine don’t look that dark.

Channel locks if you don’t have the kit

I accidentally took the spring off the back of my brake line. Anyone know a good way to get out back on?

Great tutorial. Great video work too, most people have blurry or missed items. We'll done.

You did not mention the torque requirement for bolts?

The clips wont seat correctly unless you clean the caliper bracket, the rust kind of expands

Use stainless and it wont be rusting like that

You forgot to put the screws back in the rotor.

@@regalakitas9498 Exactly. Do people think a screw that small and soft actually is important? Its just for the assembly line work so the rotors stay snug, and dont fall off during production
