Nice good job!!

Just did my 2018 EX. Good video. I used the little square caliper tool & simple compression tool. This video is worth the watch simply because of that pesky screw trick, worked great. However I was sent the wrong rotors so I had to lightly sand the dings I put in the rotor off & put it back together as is with the old pads. Didn't want to risk ruining my new pads on a less than perfect rotor. They're shipping the correct ones on Monday. Should've matched 'em up before I started, live & learn. Thanks for the tricks.

You dont have to remove the actuator. You just turn the piston until it stops and then compress like a regular caliper.

I wish I saw this comment 2 days ago. My second piston wouldn't rotate in and I tried everything over several hours trying to twist it back in enough to fit over the pads; since the driver's side had no issue retracting. Put the tools away 4 times before I found a video using the c-clamp to get it 2 millimeters back. Was cake after that

Amazon hand held caliper compress

RE: rusted rotor lip… Before you try to slide off the calliper from the rotor, spray some penetrating oil between the pads touching the rotor, should slide off much much easier without needing to pry. That’s what I did anyway :P Thnx for your helpful video :)

Yes u can leave it like that once ur all completed put the first press the brake peddle several times then put the parking brake on few times on off on off it will find it’s way back to its calibrated spot
