Video tutorial demonstrating the precise method of how to replace the rear brake pads and rotors on a 1st generation (2015-2020) Acura TLX equipped with an electronic parking brake. There are additional steps involved that are related to the proper removal and servicing of the electronic brake system. No special electronic tools are needed but a T30 and T45 Torx bit along with some nickel based anti-seize compound. Additionally, this video also covers bleeding of the brake system to ensure best braking performance. Please follow all steps in the exact order of how it is presented in the video to ensure you're able to successfully complete this repair job.

Much appreciated and thanks for the quick response.
That is a well done job
When retracting the piston, does the master cylinder cap need to be removed?
Do rotors need to be replaced @30K?

it really depends. Rotors for many cars can go up to 60K quite easily if you're gentle on the brakes but if you've got any sort of excessive pitting, chatter, vibration or other weird anomalies when braking that its probably best to put new ones on since the cost of new rotors isn't really all that much.
Did you retracted actuator back all the way back with t45 ? You didn’t mention ?
Is it AWD ?? Why change rear pads and rotors ?

This particular TLX was AWD. Rear pads changes out usually go hand in hand these days with rotor replacements due to corrosion, run out, wear etc. Modern rotors are not really worth machining anymore b/c of time and remaining thickness on rotors. They're not like cars from the 60's and 70's where brake rotors and drums were thick and meant to be remachined and reused.
Aren't you supposed to spin back the caliper piston in the opposite direction with t45 to its original position before reassemble of actuator?

Definitely not! The idea of screwing in the back of the caliper is to retract the internal parking brake adjuster to allow the piston to retract back into the caliper body. If you screw the retracted parking brake assembly back then you're effectively applying the parking brake to the pads. The system is smart enough to auto tension the force needed to apply the parking brakes so no additional "thinking" is needed on our part.

@@neilmiller6405 he isn't wrong in how he does it but it isn't required. All he's doing is just making the parking motor travel less but its a motor that has also recalibration for parking brake (based on pressure/current draw) so its a step that isn't required - I'm a former Honda tech and they never did this at the dealership.
It’s a 13 btw
You know what are you doing?
