youre obviously a chick

The detail, so often overlooked by other youtubers, makes it a winner! I'm just about to do a service on my Civic, as I noticed the pads are not gripping evenly on both sides of the rotors, there is probably gunk stuck there for free motion. The pins most assuredly need to be cleaned and re-siliconed as well.

I have a 9th gen si cp. lookin into TEIN co’s idk. But definitely need to replace old ones

The tool you’ve used on the front brake piston, can I also use it on the rear brake piston?

Hey so I had your video playing the entire time while performing the replacement of all four brake pads and rotors and it all went smooth and well thanks to your detailed video!! Thanks boss 🤙🏼.. now my only concern is the E-brake will now engage at about 12-13 clicks and rises up way too high.. how could I adjust that? Been trying to find a detailed video but havent had any luck, thanks!

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it. Do you have a 9th gen honda civic si? If you have an electronic emergency brake, bring the vehicle to a stop with the brake pedal and shift to neutral. Turn off the ignition, and push the parking-brake switch down within 2 seconds. The automatic activation will be suspended, and will be restored when the vehicle is restarted.

Will CRC disc break quiet be the same as brake lubricant?

Dude...I'm having problems. Passenger side rear brakes. Replaced rotors & brake pads AND caliper. The old caliper was seizing and sticking causing smoke! I've ripped everything apart 3x and when I drive it still scrapes on that one side!!! The rotor wobbled a little then I sanded hub down more, and that seem to fix it. Like...what the hell! Any ideas or suggestions?

Also what is the best way to break the brakes in?

In other videos, they install the pad with the brake wear indicator so that the indicator is on the bottom. In my civic, the wear indicator was on top, which is the way you installed the new pad. Does it make any difference ?

@Stimwalt

You want the moving surface of the rotor to be coming toward the wear indicators (leading side). This will be the top for those cars where the caliper is mounted on the front side of the wheel, and the bottom if it is on the back. On some cars the caliper location is different on the front wheels compared to the back wheels.

Great video. The front pads I got didn't come with the brake pads spreaders. Are they necessary? Will it squeal without them?

@Stimwalt

They are necessary. Your pads will stick to the rotor and wear quickly. The spreaders keep them off the rotors.

Just replaced my front brakes on my 2012 Honda Civic Si, everything went smoothly, up until driving I notice squealing from the brakes. Upon further inspection the brake hardware pieces are rubbing against the front side rotor (top pieces of hardware) on both sides. Any tips?

With brand new pads, they can grab a little before they are bedded into the rotor, but after you wear them down a bit from normal driving that should go away on it's own. You could also lay the pads into the rotor more quickly by doing a controlled brake bedding sequence, you can just google it. I recommend that you open it up and look carefully. Are the pads on straight? Do the guide pins move freely on the Caliper? Can you push the Caliper pistons back easily? Remember only the brake pads themselves should be making contact with the rotor with a new set of pads, there should be no metal on metal contact occuring, as the wear indictators on these new pads should be irrelevant to this problem.

Did you not have to bleed the brakes after installing new pads and rotors? Going to be installing new pads and rotors in the coming weeks on my civic si 9th gen.

Yes, if you are doing Rotors and Pads, flush your brake fluid at the same time too. You can watch my video on that as well. Typically, Brake Pads will last you 3-6 years, depending upon how you drive your vehicle. I also flush my brake fluid once every 3 years regardless of Pads/Rotor condition.

Hey man. I have a question how do I make sure the pistons align properly with nodules? I place the piston right in the middle, but I’m not sure if they’re actually aligned

@Stimwalt

Жыл бұрын

Just make sure they are aligned vertically and horrizontally before you add your pads. They will align on their own if you do this right. If they aren't aligned, you will be able to tell immediately when you test your brakes as you'll get both an unusual sound and feel when braking.

This was super helpful! However, I’m having a noise issue with the passenger side. I’ve taken everything apart 3x! It comes and goes, but it’s like something is sticking and grinding on the rotor. I checked the clips to see if they were rubbing and that wasn’t it. I slightly un tightened the caliper bolts and that seemed to help…but it still comes back! Any ideas???

Make sure your rotors screws are in the concave or depressed holes. If not, the rotor can be jutting out a little bit and grind on the pads.
