He’s eating through pads every 15 k because of the slots.
Im going to try this, if i do it right i would be saving $60 thanks to you
I don’t right off the top of my head
Thank you
a few quick notes: good video overall. however…. I noticed you have the
car held up by the jack itself, and no jack stands. most hydraulic jacks
are not very high quality, and will eventually develop leaks, hopefully not
while you are under your car. use jack stands, be safe. second…. you
should not touch the surface of brake pads with greasy mc’nasty hands. it
fouls the pads, and can lead to considerably decreased performance.
your voice sounds like Bill Clinton 🙂
hey bro, thanks for this tutorial! now i just pay for the pads and not the
labor! lol!
Thanks for the video, I can change my breaks now. Hope you continue making
more videos.
@EricTheCarGuy O ok. It’s part of PA’s state inspection? That’s pretty
strict; it’s not a part of our NC State inspection. Inspectors here don’t
even have to take the wheels off unless there is “audible indication” of
worn brake lining lol.
@HondaHowTo1 If you were to use those calipers during a PA state inspection
you would be in deep trouble as that is defiantly not the recommended tool
for the job. I still like your video however, but I also think you are
going to hear it from the viewers, they can be quite vicious when it comes
to such things.
Hi..I have followed the same process. Everything seems to be ok until now,
when I brake, the steering wheel shakes. It shakes hardly when I break
suddenly. Could this be the rotors? It looks pretty bad and I know I need
to replace them. Just making sure if that is the case and not anything
else. Thanks.
I just get the $21 pads with the warranty so i can take them in anytime and
get new ones for free,i put them on myself also.
You forgot to put a little grease on the caliper bolts.Otherwise,good job.
Thanks!
Good deal thanks dude. Subscribing
i used project mu brake pad
would this be same as integra?
im going to do this on my 4dr civic. but question do i put it in park? or
neutral with the ebrake on?
🙂 thanks
btw its 00 civic
excellanté
Hey Autozone has ceramics that are about 35 dollars and also have a
lifetime warranty, last alot longer and work really good.
@HondaHowTo1 Not just PA inspection but check just about anywhere about
checking rotor thickness and you wont find the use of a caliper such as the
one you used in the video recommended as it will not give you an accurate
reading. If you want to do a quick check most Honda rotors fall within
17mm, 19mm or 22m in size, you’d be better off just trying to put the open
end of a wrench of the applicable size onto the rotor to get a quick look
at it’s thickness, if the wrench won’t go on your good.
Thanks for the instructional video. I can’t believe how much money I have
wasted paying a garage hundreds of dollars to do a 10 minute job. My
neighbour thinks I’m some kind of hotshot after seeing me change my pads in
front of my house. How about making your next how to on an engine rebuild
or clutch replacement! Ha!
Thanks for the help. Did both wheels in less than 40min. First time to try
something like this. Just as easy as you said.
how did you remove the wheel? i took all four screws out but my wheels not
getting out
Can anyone tell me if the back brakes are… How do I car?
thats cool
No problem, thanks for commenting
Hey dude would this tutorial be the same for the 92-94 civic models
@Conradb89 My guess is that it would be very similar
cheers for the tips.
thanks for the video. I will definitely buy new front rotors and brake pads
on my honda civic 98. everytime i hit the brake around 70mph it starts
shaking. plus the left front brake pad squeaks against the rotor.
Thank You HondaHowto! I changed my brake pads on my Civic DX 97 and it only
has 1 screw, just like this video! wiggle and voila! change pads and put
back. Very Helpful video, i thank you very much sir.
Except for the part about forcing the fluid back to the master nice video.
I only mention this because I’ve seen issues especially on Hondas with this
killing master cylinders. Also, you really can’t use that kind of mic on a
brake rotor, you need one with points on it to get past the rust ridge on
the rotor. I like what you are doing though and I think you have a lot of
potential. Lastly be prepared for people to vilify you for not using a jack
stand.
Very helpful. Thanx!
THX for posting this vid, my 1st time doin brakes, i have a civic also and
i did it exactly the same way u did i was finished in no time it was alot
easier than i thought it would be, and whats cool is that next time its
gonna be absolutely free!!
thanks for the vid now i don’t have to pay for labor. 😛
@EricTheCarGuy So how do you avoid forcing the fluid back into the master
cylinder? Do you have to open the bleeder?
thank
Yes good tips. I made this video a very long time ago, my newer videos are
much better. And your right the grease on the rotors, and/or pads can
actually cause grabbing if I’m not mistaken, which is a scary surprise when
you drive after you’ve changed your brakes. And I do use jack stands now.
i feel as if you should have popped out the slide pins to grease them or at
least make sure they were lubricated enough so the caliper would slide
properly.
Thanks for the video it helped me out a lot
nice video thxxx
It’s important to note for anyone doing this for the first time, get in the
car and pump the brakes. This allows the caliper piston to get flush
against the new pads. You’ll feel the brakes give a lot more to the floor
when you push on the pedal the first time. Then take it for a slow drive
around the neighborhood bumping the brakes making certain everything works
as it should….safety first.

What can I use if I don’t have a C clamp?
do you need the rotor screws? im wondering because i’ve heard you don’t but
I don’t believe this. is this true?
@skaterboy520c I recommend just park and having a piece of wood against one
of the back tires to keep it from sliding just in case.
Thank you so much for this video. it helped heaps… i changed my breaks in
half an hour… excellent work. Thank you
