Now THIS is the perfect "how to" video! No music, No talking, just straight to the wrenching with zero bullshit. Thank you very much, i was finished with both front pads/rotors in an hour and 10 minutes.
That's the beauty and perfection of his videos. He provides simple and concise content without saying a word. No BS music. No mumble. Just cut n dry and straight to the points. Love it!!
This is assuredly one of the best, if not the best, how-to video on youtube! Like others said, camera angle, text, no talk or stupid music, blaring introductions, etc. -- just pure what-you-need-to-do. Following this video, I was able to do my front brakes exactly as shown! The only thing I might add, is that there can be two screws holding the rotor to the hub. They can be a real bear to remove, in my case I had to drill them out. After that, some PB Blaster and some firm taps with a sledge hammer close to the lug nuts and around the edge popped the rotor off the hub easily. I really appreciate your supplying socket sizes, torque specs, and where to apply anti seize. Great vieo man, thank you so much!
So... Dumb question. I only want to change my rotors and not my pads. Pads are fine but rotors have warped. Would I be able to simply just remove the caliper bracket bolts, take the whole unit off, and then replace the rotor? It seems to me that you're changing both pads and rotors in this. Thanks!
I'll answer my own question. No. I eventually had to open up the caliper and compress the pistons so that I could get it back on. At this point it makes sense to check things to make sure it's all clean. Pads were still new and had lots of life left. I suspect whoever did the brakes last (I don't remember - this was before I started DIY'ing) didn't change the rotors. Great video as always.
Clear and informative video!👍 I have a 2005 odyssey and I haven’t replace the rotors yet. I heard that the rotors tend to stick and hard to remove due to rust I guess, yours came off easily. Is this true? I want to know before I change my rotors. Thanks
Depends were you live. If you live in the rust belt, it may be seized. Remove the rotor screw and spray some penetrating oil though the bolt holes. Pause at 2:30 in the video, see the holes at 2 and 8 o'clock? Insert bolts in those holes, that will force off the rotor.
Any advice on removing the original screws Honda installs that go through the rotor? I think the rotors in the video must have been replaced before since the screws arent there. I live in rust belt, on my Civic I had to use a drill bit to pierce them & didn't go well
Use an impact screwdriver with #3 head -not #2. Really struggled getting the fronts off without it. Had to drill all of them out. Used the impact screwdriver on the back and they popped right out with a few bangs.
Finally got my hands on the service manual. For 3rd gen, the pin with rubber bushing goes on the top for the front calipers and the bottom for the rear calipers.
Great video but you left out a very important and probably the most problematic part of this job. The two stupid Honda screws holding the rotor to the hub. Every single one on the front job had to be removed with either hand impact driver or be drilled out and none of them came out willingly. (edit: I just saw the other comment about the screws down below)

Absolute best repair video I've seen. Thanks so much for your attention to camera angle, specs, tools, and supplies.

Yessirrr no BS on this channel.
Another great video. You didn't say a word yet you said so much. Thank you.

bro thanks again.. im trying to repair my honda 2010 before i sell it, ur saving me a lot of money
Great video. I've never seen using anti seize instead of the blue caliper lube. Will try it.
Lube washes off in my experience.
I can only echo this is perfection. You are the best and I'll be looking at your vids for anything car maintenance!!!!
amazing, your work is perfect.
Excellant video. Doing the job this weekend. Thanks much for your info. 👍
Clear and to the point. Thanks for tourque specs)

Best to replace pads and rotors at the same time
This video only shows rotor replacement check out my pad replacement videos on my channel
Nice very good job thanks for letting me know how to fix it
Clear and informative video!👍

Ok, thanks!
Could you please upload how to replace fuel injector in 2013 Honda Odyssey thank for all your detailed videos
Great video. But is using anti-seize better than brake specific grease? Some say you shouldn't use anti-seize.
That's how the shop manual says to do it
Excellent work, thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video. If you don't mind, can you show how to replace neutral safety switch next time? It will be appreciated much.
Sure thing

I removed them when the car was fairly new. The air impact tool is best to use, if not, drilling it the way if it’s rusted in there.
Use an impact screwdriver with #3 head -not #2. Really struggled getting the fronts off without it. Had to drill all of them out. Used the impact screwdriver on the back and they popped right out with a few bangs.
would u replace brake fluid before or after doing rotors and pads? honda odyssey 2010
Doesn't really matter but I would after
Does the caliper pin with the rubber bushing go on the top (leading) or bottom (trailing) hole? Great video. Thank you.
Pin with the bushing goes in the bottom.
Finally got my hands on the service manual. For 3rd gen, the pin with rubber bushing goes on the top for the front calipers and the bottom for the rear calipers.

(edit: I just saw the other comment about the screws down below)
Yes you'll need an impact screw driver for those screws.
