    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.

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.

    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.

    • @wingerrrrrrrrr
      @wingerrrrrrrrr 2 года назад

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    • @robsgaragewoodworkin

      There are Honda Forums - I found it on one of those. Good Luck with your repair!
      Cheers!

    Great video. Thank you for the info. What made you decide to replace your rotors?

    • @robsgaragewoodworkin

      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?

    • @robsgaragewoodworkin
      @robsgaragewoodworkin  9 месяцев назад +1

      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!

    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?

    • @robsgaragewoodworkin
      @robsgaragewoodworkin  3 года назад +2

      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!
