For those curios of the appropriate metric sizes here they are: Caliper bolts: 12mm Caliper bracket bolts: 14mm Rotor removal bolts: 8X1.25 bolt use 8mm to remove etc. You're welcome and hope it helps.

For me it was 10mm bolts not 8mm to remove rotors I went to the shop just for the 8s and then after that didn’t work I used a 10mm bolt off my old Honda seat brackets and it worked I got a 08 base idk if this is a 04-06 thing with the 8mm

Thank you so much for the help! I was messing around with this thing for an hour and a half, almost gave up, and decided to KZread it. The other side took me 20 minutes. Thanks again

@@joeyflowers2056 prolly too late, j seeing this. for future reference tho, i do remember freaking out because the brakes didn’t engage when backing out of my buddies driveway after the job. had to stomp them fully and them decompress about four times before it kicked in. this is prolly a noobie mistake, ain’t done brakes before or since lol. hope this helps.

This is an excellent video, both informative and educational. Thank you for this. The anti-seize is true, so add the below comments commensurate with the video. I like the fact that Acura has the two Philips mounting screws that secure the rotors, then has the two threaded holes to use metric bolts to screw-in to pry-out the rotors. Not sure if American cars have this feature, but my neighbor has a GMC truck doing the same brake job. He can't get the rotors out after three (3) days on it. A real "pain-in-the-ass" for him. But lucky for me, these Japanese cars are well-engineered, well-designed, and made to last an easy 300,000 miles. Acura is simply the best for the DIYer, backyard mechanic, engineer, and tinkerer.

You must live in an area with no rust. LOL. Those two nasty little screws (JIS b1012 crosshead screws that take a #3 JIS crosspoint screwdriver......and not a true philips) are the reason so many impact screwdrivers are sold. AND they serve no purpose after manufacturing the car. Sometimes you can get them out, sometimes it's easier and faster to drill them out. They're a PITA and not something I would point to as a good design. This wonderfully rust free car sure don't exist around my neck of the woods, and the resulting fight to get the screws out would have made for a much more realistic video. And obtw, if you have the 6MT version then none of this video applies since they come with Brembo calipers in the front.

Do you have to bleed the brakes? Have a Acura TL 2014

I wish you had one for the rear - seems they're practically the same with one exception (possibly?) that the brake piston gets turned to go back into the cylinder rather than pushed in as you did with channel-locks - would that be pretty much the only difference? Or can the rear brake pistons also get pushed in with channel-locks?

Thanks! I'm gonna try it out tomorrow.

Nice vid. It's gonna help a lot of people. Since you're doing a specific vehicle 1) you ought to say the size of the bolts used to force off the rotor. from doing my Ridgeline, those bolts are critical (8x1.25 metric) and 2) you wimped out on the slide bolts: how do you know if they need grease or not. what do you do if the DO need grease? seems like you guys didn't use brake grease anywhere come to think of it....

What is the appropriate metric size bolt to remove the rotor?

Great video. At a minimum, if I don't do it myself, it tells me the shop should not charge more than about an hour for both fronts.

The bracket for the caliper is rubbing on the rotor? It shouldn't, I'd take it apart and see what the problem is. Thanks for watching!

No torque specs for caliper pin bolts n caliper bracket bolts, no anti-seize on the hub or underhat of the rotor, no brake grease on metal clips that goes on bracket, no anti-seize on shims of the pads, no silicone grease on the caliper pins, terrible video. If you follow this video, don't be surprised if you experience squeaks or uneven brake pad wear where you will end up replacing your pads quicker. Oh and also, I advise people to have breaker bar for first timers. If bolts r hard to take off, breaker bar will help loosen them. If you apply proper lubricants, your brakes will last longer and also, easier to work with next time you do a brake job. If you wanna go extra mile, I suggest bleeding brakes too and if you do, then you dont have to blred them ever again as long as you use turkey base and drain and replace brake fluid from your reservoir every 2 years. Make sure none of brake fluid drip anywhere on metal or paint bcz they're corrosive and can rust the metal or damage the paint.

notoriousone It's useful in terms of seeing how the brake system for 04-08 TL gets disassembled and reassembled with new pads and rotors since every car brand n model, even year, are set up differently. I just wish this video contained lubricants on right places while mentioning torque specs. Torque specs are important because you dont wanna overtighten any bolts, whether it's caliper bracket, pins, etc. Lubricants are important because it prevents uneven wear, squeaks, rusts while making your brake job easier to work with next time u do it again.
