Excellent. I like how you teach like a friend, telling us little details
like WHY something is important, as well as other implications about other
aspects. Your style is really top notch.
I’ve been told to open bleeder valve, what’s that, where is it? And what
will happen if I don’t?
Thank you, good Sir!
nice tutorial …thanks !
Great vid. Super helpful.
thanks, man!
very helpful vid you have there. i’m just wondering if it’s required to
have both front wheels jacked-up/lifted at the same time? i’ve heard that
jacking-up/lifting each wheel one at a time would damage the shocks
Thank you million times! My front brakes are basically done and they
started to make this super annoying metal on metal sound and because I’m
waiting for a big brake kit and i need to use the car occasionally I just
took the inside brake pad and banded the “squealer” metal piece as well as
cleaned the pads and rotors, I know that this will not help the brakes but
its good workaround if just need to do few extra km and drive to the
service, the pads still have 1-2mm and I just need to wait two weeks for
all the big brake parts and then drive the car to the service, I hope it
will last since it was squealing only on the front right side, left one is
still ok and rear brakes are pretty much fine.
Fortunately i have multiple cars so i don’t have to drive this one all the
time cos i can really feel on the brake pedal that not much is going on
when i press it, but at-least i got rid of that super annoying and
embarrassing squealing sound,
I have a 2006 Civic I plan to change all pads and breaks and all your
videos are a huge help. Thank you so much.
Wao. You did a good job thank you and I ask god to guid you to the right
path
that skeeler thing, is that on every car? and is there some thing simmerlar
on a drumbrakes?
This one looks very similar to my 1990 civic!
@pikuorguk Being a mechanic is my day job. I shot this in the shop I work
at. We specialize in Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and other European cars. Love
it!
@ViciousCannibal I am glad you like it, they do drive well, and I have had
no mechanical problems at all. But I have never driven a car that seems to
have so many blind spots, and, after 5 years of driving it, I still don’t
know where my car’s extremities are. Parking is pure guess work. The car
has plenty of room inside but the boot and door openings are shaped such
you can’t get any large objects in. The car is slung so low that I am
continually scraping the undercarriage.
I’m having the damnest time getting the rear caliper off. :-/
I followed your instruction and replaced my car’s front brake pads, but
during the replacement I had difficulties to put back caliber after placing
new brake pads. So, I realized I need to push piston all the way back by
releasing brake fluid. While I was doing that I lost little bit of brake
fluid. Everything when well, but I suspect there is air left in the piston,
because brake works well when brake reaches to lowest position
They help eliminate squeaks and go between the pad and the caliper.
Thanks for the very clear description.
Is that what you did with the flat screw driver?
@ViciousCannibal So do I! :-)… Crap aren’t they? :-(… I should have
bought a Ute…
so i hear torque for tighten tires is 80lbs and not 90lbs as in this video.

I used to work with an old boy who used to work in another old boys old
country garage. He said the would break the wear sensors off and put the
old pads back on. I ask why did they do that, he said to save the customers
money. I told him that was F’d up false economy because the next time they
herd a noise it going to be destructive noise, and they may have cost the
costumer 100’s not the 25 that a set a pads cost at that time. Sometimes
lazy ignorance comes with age, not wisdom.
@FintaruS The squealers are on disc brake pads only.
Ha! I drive an ’07 Civic. Your videos are just getting better and better.
You’re a wizard. Keep ’em coming!
Very easy to do. Thanks
Does anyone jnow if this applies the same in civic si’s?
Thanx, cant wait for the video where for the rotor changing.
I may attempt my first brake job on my si. The dealer wants 300 hundred to
change my pads and on forums im hearing pads are about 40 bucks. I work on
trains as a electrician so im pretty sure i can complete this task. Looked
simple with right tools
