DIY Honda CR-V Front Brake Repair 2017 -2021

Today I replaced the front brakes on my 2017 Honda CRV. Full instructional video replacing the pads and rotors including torque specs. Dealer wanted $600+tax and it only cost me $200 Canadian. Save your money!

GOOD VIDEO THANKS

Careful Consumer says:

My front brakes were changed and the garage put on "the standard brake pad and rotor" instead of Honda parts. As I drove out I noticed a scraping noise that increased with speed and then becomes more of a whirring noise almost like a locomotive. Brought it back and they said " we don't see anything wrong." Started exactly when they replaced the front brake pads and rotors. Had everything else checked out(alignment, tires, etc) and it's 100% related to the new brakes. So what's causing the new noise? Any guesses? What should be my next step? Thank you.

I have a question?​ If you remove the bolts and damage them, is it necessary to put them back?

Why is the squealer on top? The squealer/wear indicator should be on trailing end (bottom in your case) so that it does not get jammed into the brake system should the wear indicator come loose. Also trailing edge wear indicators elongates instead of being compressed on the leading edge when it is dragging on the rotor, which will cause the squeal to be louder and more noticeable.
