I've watched multiple videos on "Replacing Brakes and Rotors" 05' RL. This is the first video someone removed the brake line bracket. 👍🏾
One of the best car tutorials, prolly the best tutorial ive seen
You make the best videos for the acura Rl, hard to find DIY videos for this car. My navigation screen is all messed up and needs to be replaced, perhaps in the future you could make a video how to remove the old unit and install a new one. Thank you!

Your video is amazing the way you explain the steps. Your video IS the best by far.. Very sharp/ organized instruction- im doing my sons RL and your video gives me much "bravery" on doing this vehicle.. lol. Thank you. Much appreciated.A+
As always an excellent vid. I have heard good things about that brand of pads (a bit surprised new hardware wasn't included). Those 4 piston Brembo calipers are a little more complicated than your run of the mill calipers but taking your time following these steps doable. Nobody is going to be as conscientious fixing tour car as you the owner.
Very nice work.

if you look at my brake fluid change video for an Acura 1.7EL you'll see how brake fluid is flushed/bled.

There is a tool called ratcheting caliper piston tool that spreads the calipers. No need for screwdrivers. You could provide an amazon affiliate link in the description.

100% that would be ideal and I will link the matching caliper piston tool. The reason why I did it with screwdrivers is because that helps others not have to buy a tool they may only use a few times in their car's lifetime. The screwdriver method is admittedly cheap and dirty but it does work :). Thanks for stopping by.
Don't need any brake grease?
hi where can i get the bracket that fits this caliper? i got an caliper came from kb1 legend. plan to do big brake set up aswell. Thanks
