Jim, I really like your videos. I go to them often before I start an auto repair project. You give a lot of details and what to watch out for, and usually give very good camera angles and lighting so that we can see what is going on. You're the best. I just completed a very successful disks and rotors replacement (front and read) on my 2008 CRV thanks to your great guidance. Thank you! Peter

Excellent details and thanks for mentioning those socket/wrench sizes, that's a bonus !

Your neighbor is a lucky person. After the thousands of brakes jobs you've done over the years he can be certain this job was done correctly.

Nice, nice video. A real pro here. Listen...and listen well guys. This guy has prob. done 1000 break jobs. Like that hanger; perfect, or just cut a Clothing Hanger...making the "S" form....free.

Nice work. Thank you

I'm glad that I watched this again, because for some reason, I thought that the axle nut had to be removed in order to replace the rotors. However, today, I did the rear brakes and rotors. While the car was up, I took off a front wheel just to see and it sure looked like the axle nut didn't need to be removed. This vid confirmed that as well as reminded me. LOL So perhaps I need to do the front brakes as well before the cold sets in.

Good explanation, sir. Thank you.

Amazing work!

Best brake video by far. Thanks !!!

I drive a 2015 Honda CRV. Next year I will be needing brake pads . I will replace them after watching your video. Great job!! Thank-you!!

Great video, Jim. Really appreciate it. Not quite the same as dad explaining it to me, but he's gone now... so you are a wonderful fill-in mechanic/ teacher. Thanks.

Great vid! I used a proper Philips head bit - not screwdriver - and banged with a hammer several times and some Kroil - 8 screws on all wheel came off easily after that with a screwdriver. Similar to what you did. I reused mounts after wire brush. Bosch mount we’re not identical to OEM and had little dog-ears that scraped. Should have those rotor removal bolts ready for use. Banging on the rotor not necessary. All rotors typically have the threaded holes. Great vid!

Thanks for sharing ur knowledge, much appreciated!👌🏻

Thanks Jim, great review as its been awhile since I've done a brake job. I noticed my wife's 2016 crv has some spring clips to retain the pads, have not seen that style before. should end any annoying rattle.

Very detailed. Thanks so much!

Jim thank you for the video. I accidentally loosened a brake line bolt and quickly tightened it. However some fluid did leak out. Should I now have the brake lines bled for air? I also noticed a small amount of fluid from the master cylinder when done. I assume this is from compressing the Pistons for the new pads? Thanks Jeff

Great video. Thank you sir.

Good video. I have a 2009 Honda CR-V, which pin goes on top & bottom, both in the front & back (smooth & 3 sided)? I’ve watched a bunch of videos and I’m confused.......Jim

thank you

I like watching your jobs Jim. Do you know of any common maintenance issues with the 2006 Ford 500 that I should watch for? Thanks, John

The most important thing to do is change your oil regularly. Thanks for watching. Im happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.

Well done. But did you remove fluid from the reservoir before pushing the caliper pistons back? If not, and the reservoir is fairly full, you will push the brake fluid back into the reservoir and it will overflow.

Do you have video on how to change lug nut

Thanks 💪🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

you should use jack stand for safety. Good video

Hi Jim is it necessary to bleed before installing pads and rotors?

I tightened the guide pins but for some reason there's still some play when I move around the caliper itself. I tried tightening it down more and I snapped the guide pin bolt in the the guide pin and had to replace it. Is it normal for the caliper to have some play once it's installed?

Jim, thank you for the video, it's a nice clean job, if I was a Honda dealer I'll make you my manager. That grease you using, is that a white grease?

Which is caliper torque bolt?

Great vid jim! Is it any different doing the back rotors and pads? Haven’t seen anyone do those.

do you always have to change the front brake too, because I just find only 1 passenger rear brake pad and rotor bad...the small shop mechanic told me to change both rear rotor and pad...but dealer told me to change all 4 front and rear...

My new rotor drags a bit, any advice?

Jim, I noticed that you're using a scissor jack as a jack stand. Is it recommended to do so?

If you use lubricant on bolt threads, you have to decrease the torque setting or else you'll be overtightening the bolts.

Couldn't the problem of shuddering have been solved by turning the rotors?

2016 CR-V has pad spreaders. For rust bolts, PB Blaster works wonders. If you can pull the caliper off without trying to push the piston back first, I'd recommend not pushing the piston back first. You can then clean off the exposed piston (which can be layered in crud or rust). Put a thin film of brake fluid on the exposed part of the piston and then push them back into the caliper - the layer of oil makes pushing back the piston easier. Also, if you don't clean it, you're just pushing the crud back behind the seal. Finally, check your brake fluid reservoir level before pushing back the piston. If it's been topped off pushing back the pistons could overflow it.

Leave the small screws out

Brake fluid should be changed and brakes need to be bled, though.

Sure beat the hell out of it,lol. Next time use a threaded bolt in the face of the rotor to separate it . Way to aggressive here.

can you make this freaking dog shut up !! That would drive me crazy !

If you are a mechanic and you have a garage how come you didn't do the job by lubricating the sliding pins taking them out cleaning them and lubricating them that's a very important part I wouldn't take my car to your garage.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Did you see at 15:59 where I took the pins out cleaned and siliconed them and then reinstalled?
