Is it the same method for non ABS type preludes?
How do u raplace front disc rotors
Yes that may be a bad thing. Is there any leaked fluid around the piston?
should you be tightening those nuts to the spec with a torque wrench?
why don’t you use c-clamp to compress the pistons?
@fastcars001 yes you do have to twist them, I don’t know off the top of my
head. I assume something would give and fail if you managed to be
successful in forcing it straight back.
Dude pretty good job and the only thing I got to say is actualy a little
advise, that tool you have to compress the piton did look a little
difficult and I never seen that tool before and when I did mine on a Honda
civic I used the Flat Tip Screw Driver and it was a lot easier than that
tool and you DO NOT have to push while turning. Try that next time you have
to change the breaks and tell me how that worked out. Great video for those
who wouldn’t know how to do it.
Thank you for doing this video. I was wondering where can I find that
compression tool? I have a 92 civic that has the compressors. Im going to
be changing my brakes for the first time and want to do it right. thanks
again.
C-clamps not gonna work… you gotta push and turn.. C-clamps good for
fronts..
@paul30paul because you have to turn the piston while you compress it,
there is actually a special tool that does just that, but as you can see I
do not have that tool lol
whats the bleeding brake order for this car cause i accidentally messed up
and now i need to bleed my brakes and i don’t know the order in which to
bleed them
thank you bro ,you save me hehe
Pretty sure the c-clamp method used for the pistons only applies to the
front brakes. I could be wrong.
fluid leaked from the piston i noticed a comment below mentioning that
might be a bad thing does it count if I truned the ignition on and pumped
it with now pads only leaving the calliper hanging? and also I found that
you could bend a pair of needle nose pliers if you don’t have the spiral
piston cube thing
spanner rash at 1:50
a tad of silicon paste around the piston boot helps wonders and so does
cracking the bleeder open before turning the piston back in, so your not
fighting against fluid pressure..
Clamp the line, and crack open the bleeder. Then put route the fluid coming
out from the bleeder into something disposable. Made life A LOT easier when
I was compressing my preludes caliper piston.
My pistons went back pretty much by just turning them without any real
force, that might be a bad thing lol!!
I don’t think that makes to much of a difference. Thanks for commenting.
damn tha’ts why i could not replace them usualy you just have to push them
back .
@zavala1904 Not to my knowledge, I’ve never even heard of disabling your
abs system lol. Buutttttt that’s not to say that what you heard isn’t trued
because there’s always weird and crazy new things out there. But with my
knowledge of how the ABS system works I don’t see why you’d have to disable
it. And if you did have to disable it (if that’s even possible with
whatever car you may have) then you would have to have a factory scan tool,
or a very nice enhanced scan tool (like auto ingenuity).
YouTube salvation! Thanks for posting as I could not figure out why the
rear calipers would not compress straight in. I’ve changed the rear before
but did not remember rotating the piston. Mine actually turn with just a
broad chisel. I compress my fronts before disassembly, makes it easier!
when changing abs brakes do u have to disable the abs? i heard that u have
to.
do you have to twist in the calipers? what happens if you just push them
straight in like normal pistons?
