Don’t you need to put your car in “service mode” before changing pads/rotors?
My pads came with new caliper bolt boots, should those be swapped also? The original look fine, no leaks, leave the old ones in?
What about putting a little anti seize under the caliper clips where the break pad sits on top of? Is that necessary?
Do you flush your braking fluid or just top it up?
I'm also in Canada, have a 2017 ex civic, and does not look like the bleeder valves have ever been touched. They are rusted, etc, Canadian environement. Probably look like yours. Would you bother to flush the system yourself? Have a mechanic do it, or just remove and top up the master cylinder?
Can you use the provided grease on the slider pins?
I have silicone grease would that be okay for the slider pins also?
Well done. Great diy.
Do I have to bleed after changing brakes
You don’t need to put service mode on ?
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU
Do the front brakes need calibration after the whole replacement? I didn’t see the steps on the video, only in the video for the rear. If so how does one calibrate them?
Just like to say that the pad carrier definitely does not move around to center itself. The other part is what your on about.
Great video! Appreciate you!
From my perspective, I'd use blue threadlocker on the caliper bolts.
Did you have to bleed the brakes, never saw you open a bleeder valve so I'm assuming NO?
Amazing video. Thank you Rob!
This video, along with your rear brake video saved me lots of money and time by doing myself. I checked out numerous videos and yours was the best, no comparison. I like how you have a tool list up front. I had mine all laid out. Your pace is perfect- so perfect that I only had to pause the video once and was otherwise able to keep up perfectly with you. Thanks a lot!!!
I am about to change my rotors and pads on my civic and was wondering if the front pistons needed to spin while being compressed? I have a piston compression kit so if it needs to spin I'll need to figure out what size adaptor I need to use. Thank you!
Do not put anti sieze behind the rotor. Pro tip
Great video! I appreciate you.
Great job Rob, thanks for taking the time to make this video.
This has been a very thorough and helpful video, Rob. My 2016 Civic is due for front brakes at (unbelievably!) 191k MILES. Lot of highway travel obviously since this is their first service. And considering the OEM pads/rotors served me this long, I opted to go with Honda parts. Picked them up online at a dealer in Ohio for significantly cheaper than my local dealer too. Thanks again and keep the great maintenance videos coming!
You do good.
Hey rob, I followed your steps and changed the brakes everything seems to be working good except when I turn on the car I’m getting all these sensors. Hill assist start problem, brake system problem, brake hold system problem, power steering problem, vehicle stability problem. Is there something I did wrong or touched?
Great video Rob. Very detailed. Thanks
Getting ready to change the pads and rotors on my car using your videos. Question for you: what’s the best way to make sure you don’t push in pistons too far in?
Great video, by the way.
My wife and I just got done changing out the front pads and rotors on my 2018 SI. Thank you so much for this guide, it was an awesome resource to follow along to.
Thank you so much for your video!!
By far the BEST video I've watched and very thorough and step by step.
I have a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan Touring.
The "STEALERSHIP" wanted to charge me couple of thousands for the pads and rotors and labor.
Would it be the same process also for the rear brakes?
How are the CarQuest Pads and Rotors working so far?
THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!!
I can't thank you enough! You are a saint for putting up such an informative guide. I was able to replace my front brakes and rotors no problem on my 2017 Civic. Going to be watching your rear brake guide next. Thank you again and may many blessings come your way. God bless you.
