Eric have you ever changed the Subframe bushings on an acura cl 3.0 1997.
Cant seem to solve the banging going over bumps in the road. Changed shocks
and lower control arms(bushings). I was reading that over time the subframe
bushings loose their resilancy. My car is 17 years old which has been in
the north east for all its time.
I use a 4″ grinder to remove that outer rotor lip. the disc assy will come
right off :)
talk too much shit !!!
@SuperMoney8 Not in this amount of space sorry, perhaps one day I will make
a video however if one shows up. Good luck.
I hear the church bells lol. It’s giving the time you recorded. Btw you
live in Nyc I believe? I would like to ask a few questions about your
website and future plans.
@silvercivic2287 I’m not sure if it would work that way but thanks for the
suggestion.
@rjal1973 I answered my own question. 1. Grabbed a pad, floor mat, or
anything to protect my knees. 2. Got on my knees and looked under the
truck. 3. Saw that they were single caliper pistons. Problem solved.
@mallydangerous Yes you could but these days it’s just easier to replace it
with something that comes with a parts warranty. If it were my car I might
consider rebuilding one but for a customer I would just replace it unless
there was a problem finding parts.
@1elAguila Gracias amigo.
@EricTheCarGuy Still broken or not. Think about all the young minds you are
warping by even giving the idea of using tools other then for there
intended use! :p
Nice DIY… I hate those rotor screws… I always gotta drill them out..I
just leave em out.
I never thought to tell him, but I agree. Him and Scotty Kilmer are the
best on YouTube, Eric is very indepth an honest about how much work goes
into it, so he’s better.
@bigblockmustang Thanks Les, good to see you.
Hey Eric, I just finished rear and front disc brakes as well as rotors
because they needed to be done. I had a throbbing brake pedal before
changing them and i just assumed one or more of my rotors was warped as
they are old. After doing the brakes I still have a throbbing in the pedal
which becomes a shaking at highway speeds. I have done my share of personal
car work but I am at a loss for this one. If you have any ideas as to what
this could be I would certainly appreciate your input.
Well, whatever you do, you don’t need to open up the bleeder screw. I went
to Honda and tech told me they never pinch line, open screw, then push/turn
in piston. Being a newbie, I overtightened the bleeder screw now cone worn
down a bit and I need to bring it to shop on Monday to fix! Maybe even a
new caliper. This sucks.
hey man, have you ever done brakes on a 1992 Thunderbird sc..
specifications say that it is 4 wheel sic brakes. im looking to do this
myself, instead of paying 150 for parts and labor.
Eric, I wasn’t very pleased with opening the bleeder valve. Maybe I
shouldn’t have done it. I now have a leak from the thread around the
bleeder screw even though I’ve tightened it back tight. How can I fix this?
I clamped off the brake line for now.
hi eric whats up man i have a question for you hope you can help me i just
changed the front struts on a 1994 honda civic and now im all done but it
sound like the spring is rubbing on somthing it even looks like the spring
went back on kinda bowed out a little what causes that and how can i fix it
please help me please
the cable itself is not a concern at this moment, i disconnected the cable
from the caliper lever, i know how to setup the cable adjustments.. this is
not the problem. The lever from the caliper for the parking brake does not
return since i changed the rear pads. Did i miss some adjustment after
replacing pads that should have been done? Manual does not say such thing.
There is a small torx screw right underneath the pivot point (that holds
the lever with a nut). Any suggestions?
Great video. It helped to change my Honda Accord brakes and rotor. I had to
drills out the rotor screws, they were rusted. Next I used two 8 x 1.25 mm
screws in the rotor to remove the rotor. It too was rusted. I picked up the
screws at HD.
@EricTheCarGuy what about if you have to move a vehicle over a few inches
This is why it costs me so much to get my brakes changed, im paying you
guys to record videos eh lol jk :p
Eric, I’ve got a problem I hope you can help me with. My bushings for the
sliders were torn so I went and picked up a new set at Autozone. I was able
to pull the old ones out and I now cannot get the new ones to go in. I’ve
tried squeezing, screwdriver, grease, even freezing them. Do you have any
suggestions. I have an 04 Accord if that helps. Thanks!!! 🙂
@lesliesmanjeff Captain Planet would be proud.
@PVoyager The problem is probably the Autozone bushings as nothing works as
good as OE, they may never fit. You might consider picking up a set from
Honda. BTW never use grease on slide pins or the bushings, silicone only.
Silicone was there to begin with and mixing it with grease may cause the
pin to seize up, in addition grease is petroleum based and will cause the
bushings to degrade, silicone won’t. Good luck.
hey eric. do you prefer to wear gloves or not?
@musicmancole I could not have asked for a better comment, thanks.
For brakes, plastilube can’t be beat. Heat resistant and lasts forever.
@vVeazel Your welcome.
@vVeazel I don’t recommend using locktite on the caliper bolts. I lubricate
the threads of the caliper fastener with a small amount of anti-sieze but
that really isn’t necessary.
@peatear01 Relax, just use the hammer and chisel method to twist them out.
I’d try that first before I got the drill out.
Is it ok to use Copper paste instead of Silicone?
Great video series eric. What year Accord was you working on? We have a 96
EX with 82k miles & I thought they didn’t start putting rear disk on em
till after 2000. I could be mistaken lol.
When putting the caliper spring back in, do you need to make sure it goes
back in the way it came out, or is there no difference between the left and
right side?
hey buddy, why does the bottom slide pin have a rubber piece on it ?, 7:42,
is that on just this veh., or all hondas, is it like that on all makes of
vehicles ??? and 8:23, is that a torque wrench your using to take off the
caliper assembly ???
@13FravelJ I wouldn’t and not for the obvious reason, the reason I wouldn’t
do it is because it’s too far away from the wheels and you probably wont’
be able to lift high enough to get the wheels off the ground as a result.
Shot ya a Thumbs Up! Les
@LayneC10 Yes, I have heard of that as well as a “vacula” used to bleed
brakes. They are very good tools and work well. Pressure bleeding is a
perfectly acceptable way to bleed brakes and if used properly will not
damage any components. In fact it can be said that they are safer to use
because you don’t need to bottom out the master cylinder to bleed the
brakes as this can damage the seals in a master cylinder if the bore is
corroded enough.
