Jimmy Kohles what year Odyssey? If you had to do all over again, anything you would do differently to make it perfect? never done it before but definitely due. Steering wheel shakes when pressing brakes.

GR8GUY54 2010. So, it took about 3 hours for the first one, bc I was being super careful to follow all the steps correctly. I would make sure you have all the right tools before you start. I had to run to the store twice to get stuff I thought I had in the toolbox, but didn't. Once that first one was done the other three were done in an hour. I would prob be more careful when compressing the calipers, too. I noticed that the brake fluid that got pushed back into the reservoir was pretty murky, so I prob need a fluid replacement/flush.

Jimmy Kohles thanks! I have all the tools here except the one to push the piston back.

When applying the lube to the retaining clips, it wasn't necessary to put it on the back area as much as it is on the contact groove surface where the pads actually ride in when installed. That's where the pads need to slide around during operation, and if it binds up, it'll cause problems with excessive drag and wear. Using a Q-tip to apply instead of the big brush will make it easier to get it in the needed area without getting it all over the place. It's good to pull the slide pins out from the rubber boot and get fresh lube in there, as that's also critical for smooth movement of the caliper. When retracting the caliper pistons, it's best to open the bleed screw on the caliper and run a tube from it to a receptacle. That gets rid of the part of the fluid that's degraded the most, instead of pushing it back up into the lines. That allows you to add fresh brake fluid to the system through the master cylinder, if you don't intend to flush and change the fluid. It would actually be best to change the fluid at this time though, since fresh fluid goes a long way in keeping things working well, and everything is all set up to do that. Another note- when pumping up the brakes to take up the gap from the pads to rotor, use very small strokes on the brake pedal- don't push it all the way to the floor. If your master cylinder is in less than perfect shape, it may have developed deposits on the cylinder that the piston normally doesn't travel beyond, and if it's forced past it, it could degrade the seals, necessitating an unexpected master cylinder replacement.

Excellent tips for everyone. The person making the video I believe actually forgot to lubricate the caliper pins.😅

One tip on jack stand use; if you cut up your old tires with a reciprocating saw, you can make indestructible jacking pads to cushion the jacking points from the hard metal of the jack stands. I have stacks of them and they work great for all sorts of things, from shimming things with non slip grip, to motorcycle side stand pads in soft ground like asphalt or dirt, to floor jack saddle cushioning. Placing it on top of the jack stand spreads out the contact point from that narrow lift point on the side of the car, which is set up for the emergency jack with the groove in it.

2012 Odyssey... It all started with watching this front pad video (still applicable). Since then it's rolled to the transmission fluid change, an oil change, servicing my wife's 2016 Fit, and giving me the confidence to work on my old 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Thank you for your confidence inspiring well explained postings! You are awesome!

by far one of the best instructional videos I have seen. doing my front brakes, and axles, this weekend. thank you.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanation of the whole process. I changed my front and rear brake pads and rotors on my 2006 Honda odyssey. I bought your recommended spare parts and they arrived with no issues whats soever. This was 4 months ago by the way. I did have issues removing that one screw they use for the manufacturing process but after that I was a pro...I have told all my buddies that I clearly knew what I was doing. You empowered me and I am empowering others. We just finished changing My brother in-law's wheel hub assembly on his Chevy Avalanche. I never thought I was a car-fixing-dude. You are saving hard working people big $$$$! Thanks and keep up the good work!

This is an OUTSTANDING and PROFESSIONAL instructional video!!! Thank you. I truly appreciated the straight forward, by-the-numbers method of teaching which covered everything I needed to get the job done right, the first time, with no unnecessary commentary. Great camera positions and lighting. The $10 impact screwdriver from Harbor Freight was probably the best money ever spent. The front rotor screws (only 1 on each side of my 2012 Odyssey) were on Superman tight from the factory. I tested it on a piece of wood to be sure it was oriented the proper way (to loosen the screw) before using it. Thanks again so much & keep up the quality videos! Cheers!

Perfect timing. I have a 2010 Honda Odyssey and i need to change out the front rotors and pads. Thank you for the tutorial. SUBSCRIBED !!

I might add that if you are having trouble removing the rotors (as I did) there are two small threaded holes in the rotor. Place a bolt in each hole and gradually tighten each one and the rotor should pop off. Love these Hondas. Thanks for a great video with no air compressors or radio in the background!

Both your front and rear videos are the best you tube videos I have seen! Thank you so much!

This was the best video I found before I replaced the front pads on our 2010 Odyssey Touring. I did the "tapping" of a wrench on the 19mm nut to both loosen and to tighten the 14mm bolts using a large rubber mallet and a long wrench which seemed pretty tight, but a few days later we heard a rattle under the front end which turned out to be caused by the lack of a lower bolt in the right front caliper. I removed and wire brushed the remaining bolts and reinstalled them with lock-tite 242 on the threads and torqued to 50 foot pounds equivalent to the 71.5 joules for a 10mm grade 10.9 bolt. (I assumed the 10 embossed on the heads was the grade and not the diameter.) I would recommend the use of lock-tite and using a torque wrench to reinstall these bolts rather than the unspecified tapping on the 19mm nut. Oh yes, the missing bolt? My wife had said she heard "something fall off the car" as she was turning on the road to our house two days ago and I had checked to make sure all my wrenches were accounted for, but after discovering the missing bolt we went back where she had heard the noise and actually found the bolt in the grass along the road - "even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then".

Phil Warner is 50 foot lbs the correct torque spec for the caliper bolts? I could have swore in the video he said 102 foot lbs. Sounds excessive to me though. Thanks

@philwarner6604

I based the 50 foot pounds on the torque spec for a grade 10 bolt of that size. I've since read that the Honda torque spec for the slider bolts is 37 foot pounds. I think the 102 is for the caliper bracket bolts and not the ones you take off to remove the calipers to put new pads in them. Whenever I have to do it again, I'll try to remember to use loc-tite and torque to 40 foot pounds.

Just did my fronts. Thanks for the video assist!

Update, My Odyssey is a 2013 so it did have the spring pad seperators as mentioned in one of the past comments. I gave a suggestion on how to install these springs in that post. Also, for anyone who doesn't have any 19mm wrenches or sockets, you can use 3/4" in its place and that will work fine. If you recall the metric to SAE conversions, its 5/16"=8mm, 1/2"=13mm, 3/4"=19mm, 7/8"=22mm, and 1"=25mm.

informative video, thank you for your sharing!

Good tutorial. I'd just add that when mounting the rotor back on the hub, it is CRITICAL that the mating surface is clean of all rust or built up material and check for lateral runout. If not done, the rotors will develop uneven thickness after just a few thousand miles and you will get brake pedal pulsation or really bad judder.

Nicely done video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

great job! I have to replace my brakes

Thanks for the great video

I like your videos. I've done the rears and will be doing the fronts soon. Couple comments that might help others 1) you use "brake grease" several places and then just text that you should clean the sliding pins. I used SILGLYDE everywhere as both my brake grease as well as my pin grease. Silglyde is better for the rubber boots of the pins and also works as a brake grease for the pads and shims. Then you can just buy one product. 2) For those having trouble with the rotor screws, I had luck with my 18V impact driver. Make sure you use a #3 Philips bit and not a #2. #2 is a "normal" screwdriver but is too small and will strip these screws. #3 is the correct size for these. Mine are 5 years old and came off with that, and I didn't need to spend money on a hand impact tool. I suggest reinstalling them because why not....helps hold the rotor fast while you are messing around with the brake caliper etc.

Actually use a Vessel 125943 908 P3x150 JIS Impact screwdriver, or equivalent brand with a #3 JIS driving head. Rotor screws are not Phillips. They are Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), which have a more pronounced angle with shorter flanges than Phillips. That's why so many folks strip these screws using a #3 Phillips screwdriver. Amazon has the Vessel for $12.41 with free shipping. A blow torch and BP Blaster may also be needed on 1st time removals.

Very nice although do not have all the tools to finish the job but at least know what is being changed and the process although gave the details on pricing and brands. AWESOMELY explained

Superb video. I’ve done brakes on my odyssey before and this is an excellent reference.

Awesome instruction bro! Thank you

Very good point about the 2 screws to the rotors as the lug nuts to the hub would hold the rotors in place.

Nice video . And as someone else mentioned , you always need to pump the brake pedal a few times to reset the new brake pads . And here is a Tip I learned years ago . Whenever you remove a Wheel from a vehicle , place the wheel UNDER the Vehicle , as a backup jack stand . This can keep the vehicle from going all the way down If it falls or crushes down where the jackstands are , ( Ive had it happen in the rust belt ). " Its cheaper to replace a Rim Than to replace a Limb ".

How are the brakes holding up? Did they rust up? Thanks love your videos

Curious to anyone else who has an odyssey with these brakes. How much of an improvement are they over the stock brakes?

Lengthy comment here. First off, let me thank Dial2fast. If not for your excellent video I would not have attempted the job and likely saved $400, at least. The cranks that follow are more about my particular experience than about your instructions and I absolutely endorse this video. That being said, there is a disconnect between what you see (no headaches) and my world. Your first problem arises when you have to choose brakes and rotors. There are many brands and price points and unless you are a mechanic, you will not have much luck discerning one from another. Keep in mind that if your car is old, like mine is, it may not make sense for you to pay up for 60,000 mile brakes. Second, this type of DIY job has a price limit. I think everyone’s is different but if I couldn’t get the job done for less than half the mechanic’s price it’s not worth it to me. That means, including new tool purchases, I had to keep my cost below, roughly, $250, brakes and rotors cost me $126 alone. Tools I didn’t have and products (lube, etc.) ran me the other $125. If you don’t have ALL the tools shown in the video then I HIGHLY recommend taking the additional step in first seeing if you can remove all of the bolts, ON BOTH SIDES, and only then proceeding the make the repair. It will do you no good to repair one side and then realize that you can’t remove the bolts on the other without another tool. You shouldn’t drive with mismatched brakes! Let me state that the biggest mistake I made was wanting to spend as little as possible and so I didn’t spend money on a rolling floor jack and jack stands. Instead, I attempted to use the jack that came with the van and every time the front tires left the ground the car’s weight would shift and often the van would fall off of the jack. It fell onto supports I had erected on the sides under the reinforced area shown in the video but the only way to then get the car off of those supports was more hit-and-miss jacking of the front end which caused the problem to begin with. Much, much wasted time, dents, danger, frustration and ultimately I ended up jacking one tire at a time. The real problem is that if your jack is about to fail there is NO safe, additional reinforced place for you to set the car down while you reposition the jack. You need to get it correct the first time! The next problem I noticed during the second time I removed the lug nuts. I noticed that one of the lug posts was colored red. This alerted me that the first time around I missed what I’m guessing is a tire alignment. I imagine that that red post was to align to one particular hole in the rim but there was no matching red on the rim so if I’m correct and this colored post was for balancing, then I messed up. Mark your lug post to a particular hole just in case. You should expect to have to drill out those flat-heat screws - I had to drill 3 out of 4. A cobalt ¼ inch bit will do the job if you keep the tip oiled and run at a fairly high speed. I drilled out all 4 holes just to keep things balanced. BTW, the screws are only about ½ inch long so don’t drill any further. The “pins” are the sliding posts under the rubber sheath on the caliper. The 19mm nut on the pin that he recommends loosening to make the 14mm bolt easier to remove would not budge, not a fraction. Indeed it dented my wrench. If you attempt this, you will need a 19mm open-ended wrench (it laughed at my adjustable wrench); however, I was finally able to loosed that 14mm bolt (third attempt, which means 3 days - each day buying a stronger tool: open-ended wrench and socket, pneumatic jack, and breaker bar) with my ½ inch socket wrench and a six-foot steel pipe that slid over the wrench to extend the leverage! The same solution will solve the 19mm bracket bolts. (No lie, these bolts do not want to come off!) (BTW, pinning the wheel hard left or right will greatly improve your access to those bolts and the tire WILL have room to be removed because if you are elevating one tire at a time you need to turn the wheel BEFORE you jack the car!) Lastly, I suspect that if you have to drill those screws out (they ridiculed my Harbor Freight hammer drive and proved to outlast the tool itself) the heat generated may weld the rotor to the housing. I could not get the second rotor off no-way-no-how. I finally (after pounding the rotor with a 5 pound mallet and worrying about damaging my alignment and wondering if I would now have to live with the dented, rusty rotor took out a four-foot, one-inch thick crow bar I own and was able to pry the two apart. Not easy and much trepidation did that situation cause. So I think that covers it all. Thanks again to Dial2fast because my new brakes are working fine. My alignment, well...

Thanks! Perfect timing. Doing my brakes soon! Do the slotted rotors make that clicking sound? I may just go with Centric Cyro Treated or would you recommend Centric Premium instead?

@dial2fast

9 жыл бұрын

Centric have some good reviews. I am not a believer on those Cryo treated rotors. I have tried cryo rotors from another vendor before and paid lots of money for them. Well they warped just like the regular rotors. These Brakemotive ones are the only ones I had luck with. I believe the slotted and cross drilled cools the rotor much better and therefore not warp as easily.

I have an impact driver, but I usually just take the end piece off and slip it onto my impact wrench, stick the bit in, and zip those screws out.

14:24 whoa that lower rubber boot is all scrunched up! I would have straightened it out prior to torquing the bolt in the slide pin.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it. One problem I noticed is that you forgot to put the springs that are mounted on top of the pads. This is a bit of a tricky step since the springs are designed to pull pads away from the rotor and can be difficult to put the top piece with Pistons back into place.

I just finished installing these rotors and pads on my 2013 Odyssey. It did have the springs. I found the easiest way to install them is to install the piston bracket one bolt at a time. When you have the top bolt in, lift the bottom of the bracket up and install the bottom spring. The top of the bracket will hold the pads together and not let them spread out. Then do the same for the top spring by installing the bottom bracket bolt, removing the top bracket bolt and lifting up on the bracket to install the top spring. The bottom of the bracket will then hold the pads together. When both springs are in, tighten both bolts and your springs are in.

Shouldn't there be retaining clips for the front pads?

Grease both slide pins👍 Great video👍
