Great video from watching it I learned how to turn the calipers in rather then compressing them like I do on some of the other vehicles that I’ve changed brakes on 👍🏼
Great video. FYI on my 2012 Civic I had to remove the emergency brake cable in order to remove the caliper. Pretty easy, one clip and it all falls apart. My new pads didn't have that pin that aligns with the caliper piston?
You can also use a pair of open needlenose pliers to turn the piston back in. I have ALWAYS done my own brakes and have NEVER had to put cloths around the brake reservoir to catch an overflow of brake fluid . . . . . EVER ! If you have never added fluid to the resrvoir, there is no reason that it would overflow. Note that in this video . . . .it did not occur.
Most people don't know the cars' complete history. Lube shops will also top it off or overfill it if they do a flush or repair. Work on enough cars, and you'll see more than one overflow.
Pretty good video, but I know all the stuff you’re showing. I’m looking for the f..g matching little plates and to know how to install them, up or down, the f... edges which way up ?
Hey guys, any troubeshooting tips? I am doing mine for the first time this week. What are common issues that may occur from the standard replacement shown in the video>??? Thanks
Check to make sure the rotors aren't scraped, make sure the pads have worn about the same. If the rotors are scraped replace them if the pads aren't worn the same you may have a caliper that is sticking. Sticking calipers could be caused by a bad brake line bad caliper or just an unlubricated caliper slide. It's impossible to tell you everything that could go wrong without being there and seeing the car though.
Is it safe if I don’t replace the old clips in case the new brake pads package doesn’t have the same exact clips? I’ll be buying the new pads from Autozone, duralast brand, I believe.
If it dosent come with new clips I usually spray the old ones with brake clean. The cleaner those clips are the easier your pads will slide, making them last longer.
Hey bro thank you I had now changed my rear brakes 3 times now because of your help I appreciate the details of the item details that was named as well thank you :) so much
3:25 OK guys. What is the name of the tool used to screw the caliper piston back in flush? Without that tool, I am dead in the water. There's nothing in my toolbox that will budge that stupid thing! This is why I despise working on cars.
Finally a video that shows how to change the rear pads

Mines will not turn
Just saved us 200 dollars, thanks bud
Ima give you the thumbs up only cause you warned manual drivers to chalk up the wheels or else the car would roll away
Best video demonstration on RUclips. Thank you.
Thank you so much brother for your informative video. I saw other’s videos showing only the replacement. ❤
Man I would like to say thank you!!!! I had to break a C-Clamp to find out the hard way!
I did that my first time.
@@GrimRepair you saved me, and you don't even know it. Keep up the Great work
So no need of the C clamp?
@@mikeb8948 no sir, sometimes you have to turn them with a big screw driver. If they have a big X indented it most likely doesn't need a C Clamp
@@RickSanchez-ww7vwmine will not turn
Great instructions. I’m about to go try it on my 2015 Civic.
Excellent video. Your descriptions and explanations were clear and instructive. Thanks Man
You made this vid look very easy… thanks!!
Thanks dude!

Thanks. I don't think they would add that pin for fun, it probably should be there. I would get a different brand of pad.
Great vid, but I would recommend you rough up the rotor with some sand paper to prevent rotor glazing.
Excellent video. Thanks for the info with pushing the piston back in and lining up the cross with the back of the pads.
You're welcome, thank you.

Bro please help with the product number of the rear brake pads for Honda Civic 1.8 2012 Comfort (sedan) I keep on buying the wrong ones
Are you going to the parts store?
Awesome! video and thanks for the high 5 to the face lol.
106 like excellent video the best on you tube Thanks
How does the piston turn to push the pads out? Is the brake pedal causing the piston to rotate out or is it the emergency brake?
The piston doesn't turn when the pads are installed. There is usually a one way ratcheting mechanism underneath attached to the e brake.
@@GrimRepair Thank you for explaining.
What if you cant get the caliper to twist? Helping a co worker out and need help
The caliper might be bad, they should twist pretty easy.
@@GrimRepair i end replacing both

How did it go? Were you able to change your brake pads without any problem?
Is it safe if I don’t replace the old clips in case the new brake pads package doesn’t have the same exact clips? I’ll be buying the new pads from Autozone, duralast brand, I believe.
If it dosent come with new clips I usually spray the old ones with brake clean. The cleaner those clips are the easier your pads will slide, making them last longer.
i tried this on my dodge caravan but lets just say it didnt go this smoothly
How come? What year is your caravan?
@@GrimRepair its a 2003 and we couldn't get the caliper off and when we finally did the pads wouldn't com out of the caliper
great video it helped me
Awesome, thanks ! You have any questions let me know.

no break slide grease?
At 4:19 ?
is it bad or harmful if I removed the part that holds on the brake pads?
I am not sure what you mean. The anti rattle clips? Or the caliper mounting bracket?
What model is this?? My 2015 Civic SE has rear drum brakes not disc brakes.
It's been a while I don't remember.
Is it the same way you’d fix it too, I have the same model as you!
shouldn't you also turn the rotors to clean up the surface?
If you're doing it by the book yes. On my own fleet if it's not pulsating or visibly damaged I leave it be.
No grease on the pad contacts? Also what are the torque specs for the 2014 Civic?
That’s probably in your owners manual
Says 2012 on here but 2012 doesnt have pads..they have shoes..and a drum not rotors...at least mine did...
Different sub models will have different options.

It is called a caliper wind back tool here is a link. amzn.to/31TkH8y
@@GrimRepair Thank you so much Grim!!
Creysler 300

Yo i dont have rear brake pads. No caliper or nothing. Wtf. It looks way different. Its also 2012 honda civic
It's probably a drum Brake set up. It would have shoes not pads.
@@GrimRepair Odd, I have a 2012 Honda Civic and it has disk brakes in the rear.
