I did my brakes and rotors recently had to use a 20lb sludge hammer to remove, I used enough anti seize to keep it from happening. My front end has new ones but when I press my brakes I can hear a clamping noice any idea. My rotors get replaced every other year here in Pennsylvania

Jim you saved me a lot of money , even my wife is finally impressed with me 😁

One of the best videos I've seen here. Clear instructions, list of tools, socket sizes, ..., the works. Great site.

Thanks Jim - keeping it simple, step by step. Like the way you show the parts that are a bit problematical, like getting clips to locate properly, rather than missing that part of the video and pretending it was all easy!

Jim, one of the best how-to videos I have ever seen! Made my brake job on the honda so much smoother and less frustrating. Very professional- thank you!

You need to keep doing videos. Many people can replace parts but not too many are good teachers. You are a good teacher. Keep up the good work and thanks for all your help

Jim, I couldn’t have done it without you, seriously! I couldn’t get the rotor off on one side. One side was a challenge, the other side was not possible. I just beat the heck out of the second side and it finally came off, both sides done. New pads, rotors and calipers. For this job I had to use a bolt extractor and an impact tool, I was very skeptical but both worked great.

@jimthecarguy I cannot thank you enough for the trick about using a drift to loosen up the two screws on the rotors! I have used your videos to change the brakes out on our Highlander and now our CRV, and I don’t even want to tell you what I did on my wife’s 1998 Honda Civic when I tried to change her rotors out. It has been a while, but I think I actually went to a confession to apologize for some of the words I used. Please keep on keeping on with your videos and sharing of knowledge. Sincerely, the universe.

Greetings from CA Jim! Perfect timing as my aunts CRV needs the brake pads changed. Thank you for the detailed video!

...by the way Jim I missed hearing the street sounds of traffic and people walking by in your shop videos, lol you’re the Real Deal Jim! Thank you again Tony

I just want to thank you Jim, after watching your video a couple of times I replaced the rear brake rotors and pads on my wife’s 2012 CRV. Come to fine out the person that did it last time bent the tabs over on the pads that fit into the caliper piston. Thanks Jim again, from Northwestern Vermont

I like your warning speech about the burning smell. I give the same speech every time I do a rotor replacement. New York

JIm , Thanks for a great video. I just purchased a 2006 CR V and want to do the brakes myself. I've never done a brake job before but your step by step video really teaches how to do it right. I also have subscribed to your channel Thanks again!

Dude this video saved my ass! Those little screws that hold the rotor to the hub I could not bust them loose even with an impact driver, I done like you showed in the video and whacked on them a few times with a 3/8 extensions and a hammer and they came right loose, THANK YOU!

Well done video!!! First time ever someone didn't cut the corners on the small stuff....

Hi Jim, really good tutorial, easy to follow and precise information. Wonder if you have a video to replace the brake shoes, also how to adjust them.

Thanks Jim for this new brake job. Virginia

Very nice video. Excellent explanation. Thanks

Thanks Jimbo... I can now do my 2011 CRV.. Texas here.

Really good job on the video. Thanks!

Great job! Thanks for the chance to get your gift. Richard from Ft.Worth, Texas!

Rotors are like my 08 Kia Rondo. Thanks btw for that video. The rears are a pain in the butt.

Good video Jim. I always replace the rubber boots and slide pins on the caliber. Many pad kits comes with the boots and the pins are only $10 extra. This is especially important if the slide pin has a rubber ring at the bottom of the pin, those normally get swallon over time and make the slide get stuck.

Thank you for doing this. Very thorough. I undid the two 12mm screws and the caliper is loose but i can't pull it off. Could it have something to do with the piston?

Very good video. Just did mine for the first time. One question: shouldn’t I be using copper anti-seize on all of the metal-to-metal instead of silicone paste, just using the past for the guide pins?

Thanks great explanation.

As always a great video in great detail. Thank you for sharing your video. I truly hope you are having a Blessed Summer. I would like to inter in the camera contest also. MARYLAND. USA.

Great instruction, thanks. One thing that could have been helpful, but not mentioned: there are two THREADED holes in the rotors. Had I seen them, I would have screwed two bolts into them, and tightened them against the end of the axle, to push the rotors off. Not knowing that, I had to pound all around the drum. then tap one the edge of the rotor, while turning it, to overcome the rust and get it off.

like your videos, ron from new jersey

Great video. I would also check the brake fluid level after doing this😉

@twig3288

The fluid level should be checked before and after, if it's very full it could spill over when the caliper piston is pressed back.

Thx Jim, excellent video. Do I need to torque the bolts to a certain pressure?

Nice detail! New York.

Very good video! How many lbs of torque did you apply to the caliper bolts?

Another good video Jim. Chris from California. By the way, where’s your JACK STAND? that scissor jack had me nervous 😬

Good tutorial. New York.

EXCELLENT .THANK YOU.

Thanks Jim, this is great, can you tell me why calipers might continuously fail? I've had to replace one caliper on my car about 3 times now, every time because it's leaking brake fluid. My mechanic has checked everything and is clueless as to why it keeps failing. All the other calipers have failed too, but the car is old, so I kind of expected that. (it's a 2002). But once replaced, it should last forever, no? After 40k miles, it fails again. Any thoughts of where I should look? Thank you! I think the caliper seizes up and it's producing friction, but I'm not sure if that's what's going on. I can't think of any other reason though, and why it would freeze up in the first place. Fairly new calipers.

Great Job As Always Jim Hope To Win The Camera Thanks From New York

Thank you!
