It comments like these that made me start working on my car 🤣.

Love how this channel never has stuck bolts or bolts that spin and wont loosen. Or any other actual real life occurrences when working on vehicles….

After fixing my screeching serpintine belt that turned out to be loose and replacing my failing caliper, I've gained tons of confidence on working on my '05 Civic Coupe. You guys' videos are a god send! I find the Haynes manual to be a little confusing at times due to some of the steps jumping over the place. I just suck when there's too much info given at one time too and if it's not straight to the point. You guys get right to it. Thank you!

Just got done doing this to my 2005 Civic LX. Here's an additional tip: #2:08 those 12mm bolts might be spinning freely and not coming lose. Use pliers to grip the other side of the bolt and it should break free. Also I only had to remove the bottom bolt and it can pivot on the top bolt.

Great video and definitely helped a ton with my first time working on my '03 Acura 1.7 EL's front brakes and rotors. The use of silicone lubricant during the service (i.e. slides, slider pins & brake pad - caliper contact areas) was well described and certainly improves the quality of the job. As mentioned previously the brake fluid reservoir should be open before squeezing in the caliper cylinders and watched to make sure it doesn't overflow. Pumping the brakes does help to bring down the fluid level a bit but more might need to be taken out to get down to the "max level" by the job's end.

@connor040606

Not point in doing this, unless you topped off your fluid when your pads were low and worn which is never a good idea.

When compressing the calipers, make sure you have the room in your break fluid reservoir or you will have a mess dripping all over the fire wall.

It looked like the new pads sat into the clips pretty easily. I needed to use the C clamp and a hammer to get mine to finally sit square, which seems a bit excessive, and my test drive I could hear friction as soon as the wheels start turning (in fact it goes quiet only when I apply the brakes). Is it possible to shave down the brake pad tabs to get them to fit in the calliper clips less tightly? Or should I just return them?

Superb thanks sir

Awesome, looks easy. Now, I just need to borrow your tools. And your lift...

Which ratchet drive works best for this job?

What are chances of you documenting a full brake and rotor job on a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (Limited)?

The Honda dealer claimed the pads were 2 mm and "unsafe to drive". Turns out they're 4 mm, good for a lot more miles. Thieves.

Can never trust them. I feel bad for people who bring there cars there. Obviously you can’t find everything without proper tools but if you can greatly reduce taking to their dealer then they winning by saving money. Stealerships charge way too much for the work.

Aye is it bad that the 17 mm bolts on the caliper bracket are super super tight to the point where I can’t take them off?

Also for the break pads what type of grease did you use on back?

The slides that the 12mm bolts go into. I had an issue with them spinning when I was trying to tighten the bolts. The sort of oval head on them looks like it should key into an edge on the bracket to keep it from spinning but neither of them had anything like that. I tried holding them with vise grips which only helped a little. Am I not understanding something here? I seem to remember other cars simply having a long bolt.

Quick question. I just ordered my rotors for my 2001 Honda Civic ex coupe and I thought the rotors didn’t have tho screws in them so my question is am I going to run into those screws stripping and not coming off?

Did u find out ?

I found my brake rotor was difficult to remove. Pro tip: At 4:05 where he says you can use some m8 bolts to make removal easier-- to do this you can actually use the same two 12mm bolts (see 2:08) that were holding the caliper in place. I suggest using a tap first to remove built up dirt/rust and to make threading them easier. (You'll need an M8 x 1.0 tap) (Before I figured this out I tried tapping the rotor out with a hammer. Don't bother, because this didn't work for me at all.)
