Absolutely great video. A neighbor asked me to change his rear brakes + rotors on a 2018 Honda CRV. Your video was the key to a successful installation. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
I’m not normally one to comment on RUclips videos, but I just wanted to thank you, Rob, for this video and the one that teaches the front brakes as well. You saved me a couple hundred dollars and taught me a thing or two in the process as well.
Thanks! Always nice to get feedback. I’m glad it helped!
Cheers!
Rob
Awesome video! Been doing brakes for years and learned new tricks servicing Honda CR-V brakes.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Excellent video! The caliper compress stumped me till I saw your handling of electric parking brake. Some of the comments are amazing, a lot of spoon fed babies out there.
Thank you Rob. I appreciate your vocal clarity and video edits. Great job.
You're Welcome!
Great Video, Thank you, you made my break replacement job a breeze and saved me a big Mechanic bill.
Thank you, you saved me a lot of money and your video is helpful and easy to follow. Was my 1st time changing a brake with e-parking brake.
AMAZING FULLY. DETAILED VIDEO AND IT WORKS NO ABS LIGHT ON MY DASH. THANK U SO MUCH.
Great video, I listen to RUclips while I do things, like walk the dog & such, I have a 2021 CRV, I had no idea about the parking brake, I’ll have to remember that!!
Thank you very much! I have this job coming up on my wife's '17 CR-V, you made it look easy. I appreciate your time posting this for RUclips land to reference!
Good Luck with your repair! Remember to calibrate the EPS following the instructions at the end of the video.
Thank you. I was about to follow another video that said to jump the motor to spin it clockwise electrically. This method makes so much more sense. Great info about the calibration as well.
Yeah, how can you know what polarity it is and how much voltage/current to apply? I saw those video's too.
Thanks for your comment!
Good Luck on your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
@@robsgaragewoodworkin Agreed. Like your method way more. Don't want to risk frying the electric motor or cause a problem with the ECU.
Excellent video! Thank you. Worked perfectly on my 2018 CR-V.
Rob,
I did this job today and i am very thankful for this video. Everything worked out well.
Just small error, i broke the tiny clip lever on the electric brake switch. But that is life!
Thank you again for just amazing videos!!
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
I watched a few CRV rear brake videos and this is by far the best.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it!
Cheers!
Rob
One of then best videos out there I always come back and watch it to make sure that I’m doing the job right 👍👍👍
Awesome! Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Good video, well explained, I have a 2020 Crv, which most likely I'll be doing the brakes soon.
Thank you very much for sharing, great video. I changed my rear brakes and rotors on my Honda crv 2017 with your outstanding tutorial. It was so hard to remove the two button bolts on the caliper. I had to use an extension bar and spray it with WD40.
Breaker bar for the win!
Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Thank you so much for this video. While I have a ‘18 Ody I too have the eBrake. Your step by step on that part is exactly what I needed. Keep it up!
Should be very similar. Good Luck with your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
Thanks again, this the reason I am not trying to replace my rear brake, I dont want to open the brake motor. This is very helpul. I can now replace my rear brake without running back to the dealer!
Rob you are the man !!! One of the best informative Intel on the Honda hrv !!
Good video, Sir. I really appreciated everything you did.. Calibrating rear brakes, what in the world. Dealer hook up😢😢😢. Thank you very much. Sir... Wade Out...
Really detailed video, thank you so much!
Great video. Electronic parking brake info was vital. Thanks
Very informative!! Thank you for putting this together!!
Very informative brake info.I will use this to clean up my brakes when I changeover my summer tires. Just a couple of items that I would draw to your attention; 1)It is my understanding that lubricating any fastener and then using a torque wrench will affect the values; over tightening the bolt. 2) when you tightened the wheel nut with the impact gun,I think the nuts where overtightened past the required torque and when you used the torque wrench, as the bolts where already tightened, you experienced the click. I think using the impact to only snug the rim and them finish the tightening using the torque wrench. I don’t lube my studs because they will be removed in 5-6 months when I change to the other tires.
Great video, Rob. For someone like me who has never changed brakes before, these were good instructions and information. Btw, thumbs up on the garage set up!
Thanks! Good luck with your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
Thanks a lot Rob , you did save a lot of money, I learned a lot from your videos, god bless you 😊
thank you for posting just bought a 2017 hrv very helpful to know this new break
It will be a very similar set up. Good Luck with your repair!

Pretty good insight thank you for sharing your video I learned something new very helpful specially I’m replacing my daughter rear brake 2018 Honda CR-V I enjoy watching your video thanks
Awesome! Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Great information, thank you for helping me do my 1st brake job. I had to do a LOT of praying inserting the new pads as the spring clips kept flying off. Finally got it done though.
Yeah I had the euro rotor pads with the crappy push on spring clips. Never buying those again!
This video is awesome. I just did a tire rotation and oil change on my wife's CRV and I was looking at the rear parking brake and wondering how it retracted for service.
Appreciate the video im not worried about doing them in the future!
Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Nice video. Well done! Thank you.
Great info Rob! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼
You're welcome!
works perfectly! thanks! Great usefull video
Accurate, thorough, complete, and clean. Awesome. Wanna show a valve adjustment?
Gracias me ayudo bastante para mi CR-V 2017 Touring
Thanks for sharing this video Rob.
You're welcome!
Ur Guidance was very understanding thank u
Muy buen trabajo y bien explicado amigo. Graciassss!!!
Thanks for this great video. It made the job so easy and fun. I couldn't have done this job without it. I was fortunate that the dealer mentioned I should watch a video on the rear brakes before attempting the job. One note: There is no video clip regarding the reassembly of the emergency brake motor. Not a big deal but I was a little unsure if rotating the shaft as I reassembled the motor was an issue- didn't seem to be. Thanks again!
Yes, somehow that part of the video got deleted. I did computer maintenance after and formatted my hard drive and I couldn't even modify the video. I usually refer people to my civic video for reference. Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Thanks for your educational video
Excellent video for this purpose. Thank you
You are welcome!
Hello fellow Canadian hello from Calgary Alberta the wife and I are buying a Honda CRV touring this month, good video thanks .
Hello Calgary! Awesome! You're gonna love it!
Rob: Appreciate this video as I need to replace rear pads on a 2018 CRV in the near future and never had to deal with an EPB.
Thanks!
Great sequel!
Great video You are the man Sir 👍👍
Very informative video. Thx for sharing. Keep up the good work.

Rob
Awesome video!!! You just got another subscriber.
Thanks for subbing
Thank you. By far the most comprehensive instructions. Followed it and the job went super easy. The biggest challenge was ironically trying to disconnect the power harness for the motor. It’s a bit tricky indeed but once you find the right spot no issues. Keep up with a great vids.
Awesome! Time for a beer!
Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
I didn't disconnect the wire harness since I wasn't trying to operate the motor, so that doesn't need to be done.
@@robsgaragewoodworkin
9:15 Was there a reason for using an extension like that instead of attaching the Torx bit directly? For a better view with camera angle?
@@wingerrrrrrrrr The hex bit was too large and hit the side of the assembly so I used a hex screwdriver bit in the 1/4 inch socket with the extension to clear the plastic side. Yeah it looks crazy. I think I did describe the reasoning but maybe it got edited out.
@@wingerrrrrrrrr yeah you don’t have to but I removed it to make it easier to work on and show in the video.
Thanks so much lot help from you great details and awesome repair keep it up
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment!

Nice job there Rob! I wouldn't have done anything different except hand tighten the lug nuts (no air gun) before using the torque wrench. ;-) -Glen
Rob, followed your way to replace the rear pads for my 2017 Honda CR-V. It works great. Thank you so much for showing us the whole process. There is a minor slip of the tongue (I guess) you made at 10:38 in the video. The T45 bit (and the electronic thing) should be turned counterclockwise rather than clockwise. I've tried to turn it clockwise initially, but the piston can not be retracted no matter how hard I've struggled with my piston reactor tool. Turned the T45 counter-clockwise again, after that, the piston got reacted smoothly.
He's on the passenger side, service info says turn clockwise.
Hi, from Thunder Bay,Ontario, I came here for brakes, thanks for the great video, but I subscribed because I see woodworking on your name,,,I’m hooked,lol
Hello Thunder Bay! Good Luck with your repair!

Great instructional video!!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for your comment!

27:13 One point about using the click type torque wrenches, it needs to be torqued in one smooth motion so that the nut or bolt is moving right before it clicks. If you tighten it near but below the final torque, those multiple clicks are not actually doing anything because static friction is holding it stationary, and the torque may still be below the target.
Always make sure the bolt is loose enough to move as you do the torque operation, and is moving right up until the first click.
If you want to recheck the torque, you need to loosen it up first and repeat, rather than just clicking it again, which will only have any effect of it's significantly under torqued.
Thanks Rob. Big help!!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for your comment!

Thanks Roomie!
Worked perfectly
Awesome! Thanks for your comment!

Very thorough instructions. Thanks for that. I'm about to change the front pads on my 2017 CRV and I was wondering about the rear ones. They probably don't need changing yet but I have the car in my shop for summer tire change over so I may as well since the genuine Honda parts are in my hands.
Easy savings and fun to do! Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
@@robsgaragewoodworkin Done now. The rear pads still have way too much life left to fool with at 30,000 miles.
Thanks for sharing sir
Thank you...Well done.
Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for the excellent vid! I suspect that my wife's 2018 will need brakes all around soon and this vid has taken the fear out messing around with the rear brakes. Fronts are very straightforward, but I was afraid that the electronic parking brake would make the rears a real chore. Not so! Question: Is there a brake seating process after installation like that I had to do on our old Toyota Highlander?
Thank you for sharing
You're Welcome!
Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Really, tank you so much.
You're welcome!
Hey guy nice video, worked perfect !!! Thank you. But,,,,,,,next time please show how you bolt the motor back on 😁 yes, it's obvious enough but some days I'm pretty slow.
You just have to line up the sprockets. After you turn fully clockwise with the star socket, you may have to turn it back a little bit so the motor lines up with it. I had this problem the last time I did the rear brakes on my 2018 Cr-V (this last Saturday). If the two parts of the motor do not align, just twist maybe the star part about an 8th or so back until it lines up.
Thank you
Tks for the video...
You're welcome
I appreciate this video. I’ve been looking for this before I had to deal with my new CR-V brakes. I even tried asking my dealership maintenance department. They where no help at all. Thank you.
You're welcome! They don't want you to know how because they want to charge $650 for rear brakes here in Canada. Actual parts cost is between $200-$250. Good Luck with your repair!
Electronic parking brake ridiculous. I’ve never used a parking brake in my life 50+ yrs of driving except with a manual transmission Porsche. What a waste of hardware. And now they are electronic…. Great video captured all the fine points!
Yeah same here (except the Porsche part). Electronic is actually a better set up for the disc brakes. I'm going to buy a scan tool to make it easier in the future. Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Great video Ron! One question... do you have a link to the Honda Tech instructions for manual service of Electronic Parking Brake?
Great tutorial Rob. Thank you!
Good evening very informative video is it the same for the Honda hrv with the electronic parking brake
I haven't done one but it's likely to be very similar.
The automatic parking brake needs to be removed (and adjusted) before compressing the caliper? As an amateur I have never had to do this before on other calipers? Does the caliper compression tool need turned in or just pressed? These items were not specified and I’d like to know so that I can order the correct tools. Thanks! :))
Thank you!!!! 👍
You're welcome! Good Luck on your repair!
Just did the front pads, I’m not touching the rear breaks right now, might just do it at the dealer. I hate electronics lol
Can you share the Honda Tech Instructions you used? Nice work explaining the process.
I found it on a Honda forum. They have all sorts of information. I didn't save it, just printed it and used it but I followed the steps exactly, including the torque specs.
Good Luck with your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
I replaced my brakes using a scan tool to put them into maintenance mode. The hardest part was removing the set screw.
Thank you for the detailed steps. My 2019 CR-V used a 12 mm socket and a 17 mm socket for the bracket.
What brand of scan tool did you get?
@@robsgaragewoodworkin I bought the LAUNCH OBD2 Scanner CRP129X Car Code Reader Scan Tool for ABS SRS.
I think someone gave me an amazon gift card and so it didn’t cost me too much. I have an Audi and a Volvo as well as my daughters CRV.
It comes with free software updates which was the most important feature.
I was going to get an app for my phone but you have to pay an annual subscription for each vehicle.
I hope that helps.
Hey Rob. Really appreciate your time to put the great videos together. Going to definitely subscribe to your channel. Question: When you removed the screws to remove the EPB, you mention that the screws came with loctite from the factory. I watched your Honda Civic Rear Brake Video because this CRV video doesn't show you putting it back on. My question is... because those screws had loctite on it originally, did you reapply loctite back on when you reinstalled? Does it matter? Thank you.
They did have locktite on them but I didn't add anymore. It was the Blue Loctite if you want to put it on yours.
The civic didn't have loctite on it. I was surprised at the difference. Weird...
No problem with reusing the stainless steel brake hardware as long as you clean it up.
Given your in Canada, I was surprised you didn’t remove the hardware and clean the contact points on the calliper bracket. In regions where road salt is used it’s a good idea to do this and apply some brake grease or similar to prevent rust jacking under the stainless steel brake hardware, which could lead to your pads not moving freely.
I somehow missed/deleted some footage during editing. Going to try to find it and add it in. I cleaned all the contact points and either cleaned the sliders or added new ones if they came with them. The sliders are lubed and the pins as well. Thanks for your comment!
Cheers!
Rob
Great video. Just wondering what the clearance is for replacing the studs and if it's enough space with what you've removed at 19:11 in your video.
You probably have to remove the disc brake cover for enough access. You may have to rotate the hub for clearance for each stud to be removed. I haven’t done it on this car but there is usually one spot that gives you enough clearance to remove the studs.
Rob Great video, I was wondering if you would know if the EPB on a 2018 HR-V would be the same procedure? Also when doing rear brakes and calibrating the EPB do I need to do it after replacing each side or can I do the complete brake job and do it at the end and calibrate both sides at the same time?
HRV should be similar but I haven’t done one. Do both sides completely then calibrate them.
Are there torque specs for the two 5mm Allen bolts?
Excellent video Rob! Thank you very much. Can I ask where did you get your Honda instructions from?
There are Honda Forums - I found it on one of those. Good Luck with your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
Great video. Thank you for the info. What made you decide to replace your rotors?
You should always replace your rotors or at least have them turned down. Your brake performance is much better especially when you factor in finicky ABS on icy roads.
This is a great video BUT when, exactly, did you put the electronic parking brake motor back on the caliper? That's not shown here. And did you put new locktite on the bolts that hold that parking brake motor in place when you reassembled?
I lost some footage of that part but you put it back in the way it came out. I put it back in after I wound it back. II didn’t use any more loctite on the bolts but if you want you can.
Good luck with your repair!
Cheers!
Rob
Thanks for your video! What is the mechanical reasoning behind retracting the Electronic Parking Brake with a T45 socket at the 10:31 mark? If it wasn't engaged before or during service, why then does it need to be fully retracted?
The car cycles the parking brake periodically and it may or may not be fully retracted so you may or may not get your new thicker rotor and thicker break pads on. If you force them in you could break the EPD. That's why you back them up. Or set them into maintenance mode if you have an expensive new code reader.
this is a great video.
I am wondering if you have a certain brand of pads and rotors you use?
Not really. I buy premium parts. If I’m in a rush I buy from local parts shops. If I’m planing in a weeks time I like to get parts from Rock Auto. There are some new online places here in Canada but they suck bad!
