Best brake video!
Thank you!!! Will help lot of people
I’m a express tech at a dealership and even though all I do is change oil and do the basic stuff but I’ll learning a lot from your videos
Yeah bro be a good mechanic I use to work for honda dealer I quit because they wanted to make me a dummie mechanic I remember how they made me lie to customer I felt guilty but this give me an idea to do a video about it. Stay tuned u will see it
@@RBTheMechanic crazy thing I work for a honda dealership and I’m in my first month and it’s crazy I just want to learn to fix my own car and be a good mechanic but I know I will not be there for long . 4 years max and after on my own like your self and one thing I hate is being a lube tech and being in a competition to see how many cars you can push out a month to earn a bonus at the end
@@81quiroz I worked for Passaic honda dealer in jersey they called me lub tec. I hated it but left after 6 months and it’s better to learn in private shops because u get diff diff types of cars. Keep watching and it will take time to get that experience but u will get there
@@RBTheMechanic thank you is there anyway that I can clean or replace my fuel injectors from for more performance on the 9GEN accord
@@81quiroz good question but I wouldn’t put any of those chemicals in fuel tank because they burn the holes on the injectors that causes to leak fuel more and low MPG just try using super fuel couple of tanks that can clean the system they have chemicals
Thank you for the detailed explanation!!!! I drove my son back down to his mothers in Florida, and thanks to my swift swerving out of what would have been a pile up on the highway, however my rear passenger caliper seized up on me. I did not have the time nor the funds to stop jack it up, so I pumped it a couple times and to no avail it continued to keep seizing not locking the wheel completely up, but did destroy the pads on that side and rotor. So, a good friend of mine works for Oreilly and got me a set of pads for both rear even though the left is fine, a ne caliper ( I imagine it locked out due to standing on the brake quickly to avoid collision) but since I get a really good deal through him went ahead and got a rotor and caliper as well. I may get another rotor since I get a core return and have done the whole front end already. Anyways, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE DETAILS in this video. Fronts were simple so as long as I hit it all with a little Blaster all should go smoothly!
Thank you so much for this video it really helped me out a lot I thought I was going to have to replace my caliper until I saw that you have to spin it to decompress it
Yup good job figuring this out!! Always here to help with anything with cars!!
Thanks man this really helped me . I changed my wife back brakes and couldn’t get the cylinder back compressed with the C-clamp . Watch your video followed the steps we’re on the road again lol 😂 thanks again !!
Nice good job!!!
Do you have to spin the front brake pistons too@@RBTheMechanic ?
@@Car1Sagan no front are only compress in
Thank you RB... Gonna make changing the brake pads on my 2005 a lot easier.
No problem 👍
I was stuck on that, the dust boot kept going with the piston, now i know what to do! Thank you
Yeah lotta mechanic just force it but small like trick make it so easy!!
@@RBTheMechanic the dust boot still goes with the piston, do i add more WD-40?
@@maiddelalic4014 not too much u have to add some on the lip where it meets
WD40 is also available in a silicone spray, and you should be using this to lube all rubber parts.
Glad you mensioned the brake tool this will make my job a whole lot easier thnx bro
Yup
I use a nylon brush even a cheap brand of tooth brush will work a metal wire brush can tear the boot or any other rubber. Also use a silicone lubricant spray don’t use WD-40 it’s a petroleum-based product, which will eat rubber. You can simply use a spray bottle with soap and water in it to clean the rubber boot while it’s wet use your nylon brush or tooth brush to get the brake dust and road grime off the boot. Dry the boot spray it with silicone lube so it doesn’t stick to the caliper and twist up. Use the appropriate specialty tool to turn the screw piston in all the way so it will clear the pad when you put the caliper back on the vehicle. Don’t cheap out and use a pair of pliers a screwdriver, or a prybar. Put the caliber back on and put your bolts in and tighten them to torque specs spray down the caliber and rotor one last time with brake cleaner so you don’t contaminate the pads and you’re done.
worked like a charm I’ve never seen a piston that needs twisting
Nice well these Hondas always been like that on accords also fords use that
RB great video. Thanks so much for the tip of filing down the pad ears when they resist going into the hardware easily. My question is how do you keep those metal washers from falling out of the bolt hole when putting the caliper back on the mount bracket over the pads? My last install was very frustrating as those metallic washers continued to fall out, when I would put the bolt in. What function do those washers serve? Much success in your business and the videos.
Which washers the one that’s between the bracket to hub
@@RBTheMechanic Yes, those two thin washers that fall out so easily when you try to put the bolts back in.
@@josequintana6526 use tiny bit grease on them and they will stay sticky to hub
After twisting it in, will it just come back out on its own or is there a way to retwist it back?
Yes once’s ur done doing all the brakes everything is back on and wheels u pump the brake peddle 4-5 times it will retract back
Myth: WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product's formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.
It just to get it smooth for moment
It also contains solvents (petroleum distillates) that are not good for rubber (or paint).
@@slipshaft no
@@N_pop_2020 No? Are you agreeing or disagreeing? Its not bad for rubber if you wipe it off right away, but if you leave it then over time the rubber will soften, expand, and then degrade.
Your video was well done!!! I think you should add a link to the comments for the tool that you used to back off the piston...I found it at Harbor Freight for $44.99
Nice good job
Why do we have to turn the piston and not just pressed it in with a c-clamp and one of the pads? thank you
Because this piston will not compress its twist and compress due to the mechanism is connected with parking brake it’s like 2 brakes applied through one caliper
Thanks. Silicone spray is the one that shoud you use instead of wd40.
Ok thanks will do from here on
Better yet ...... Brake Fluid
Video helped a lot. Thank you!!!
Welcome
U can use a 3/8” extension to screw it in. Put it in the square.
Yup thanks
👍Great job i like your 📹video
I had to go rent the piston retract tool .. I didn’t re install the paper clip like spring , on the pads .. didn’t see the purpose of it .. hopefully it , doesn’t effect the braking system
Ok it shouldn’t be big deal but it dose help the brakes move back out when ur letting go the brakes and prevent brake friction when not In use which is good for brakes and rotors from heating up but not a big deal it’s always missing when I get the cars that already had brakes changed previously
Work smarter not harder..you only remove lower caliper screw to flip caliper upwards.. never use wire brush on seals.. brake cleaner is all you need..
Thank you! Well Done Sir!!!
Excelente video .Gracias
my 2016 toyota corolla ones are a pain in the butt. The rubber boot keeps getting twisted? Any tips? I tried WD40. I am using the toolkit rented from autozone to spin it
Well u might have to put some grease and help the rubber boot out manually
@@RBTheMechanic Okay for sure, Ill try that out thank you
Can I just compress the piston to inside without twisting? I have a brake pad spreader tool. Thanks.
Nope u have to twist it
Thank you so much for letting me konw.@@RBTheMechanic
What about a Honda Accord 2007 EX 4 Cylinders? It is the same process? Or every honda is the same on rear brakes piston?
Yeah they all same for rear brake caliper up to 2017
What size is the caliper piston sir?
No information of Alize of piston
If only I knew this when I changed my brakes I just slapped the calipers back on and ordered new ones the next day because I thought they were bad
Oh Damnn yeah they twist and push in
Does the VW JETTA 2021 need to be twisted or turned to retract on the caliper?
The rears on those are electrical caliper watch this video u will understand derstand ruclips.net/video/PwcROE8b9vE/видео.html
Thank you my friend 👍🏼
Great job man.
Great details thank you
Yup no problem!!!
Awesome, thank you
You're welcome!
Great video! Thanks
Beautiful job!
Do you have to turn the piston? Can't you just push it back in?
Nope it need to be turned and push same time
@@RBTheMechanic My 2012 Civic (Europe) has Hill Assist, No adjustments to that Hill assist system?
@@Tintoycar what?
@@RBTheMechanic I can't damage the hill assist function while replacing the brake pads? (when i am on a hill and let go of the clutch, the rear drakes are active for 2 seconds eletronically)
@@Tintoycar this video is not electrical parking brake
Silicone might be a better choice on the rubber boot
Ok thanks
Ey es cierto k se tiene k abrir el aire de frenos cuando ases esto
Helped a lot, gracias!
a good trick is tapping the old brake pad end into the slot and turning it with a crescent wrench
Ok
@@RBTheMechanic if you dont have the special tool or a pry bar that fits.
Thanks. Was about to buy a darn C clamp lol.
Ohh that wount work on these rear caliper hood for front
Wish I saw this before ripping my rubber boot 😢
Oh darn!! Anways u know for next time u always learn!
Are they the same on the front too, do i need the caliper tool for front
Front no front caliper you simply compress them in
Thanks just did it
Good job!! 👍
Size for tool ?
What tool ur asking for
@@RBTheMechanic Flat piston tool ???
Didn't tou day no special tools?
Nope I got videos on all
Excellent video. Thank you very much
I hate this car when trying to press that sick piston really i become crazy and sick after removing the tires to replace the brake pads I thought its like normal calipers piston!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah u can turn it with pry bar and give it force inward as u turn here’s a video without tools special tools ruclips.net/video/IumyjGHUVhQ/видео.htmlsi=1EQcpt7Fwiznomct
👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
Ya might bail out master cyl. before ya start not 2 get fluid all over d floor.
Great instructions, i still hate Honda for putting a difficult rear caliper, Toyota's and other cars have a regular caliper which is a peice of cake to work on, Hondas caliper like this one also tends to jam and cause uneven wear on the pads and rotors, Hondas also have those annoying screws holding rotors most of the time you have to drill them out, F*k Honda engineers i put a curse on them.
Yeah I understand what ur saying only beauty of it is no rear ebrake shoes
@@RBTheMechanic thats true but i rather have that than those caliper, no one use the parking brakes anyway, most of the time they last the life of the car.
U sound like a toxic boss 😆
Awesome! I was totally stuck and worried I would have to buy a new caliper until I watched you. Thank you, and keep up the great content!
Nice job bro!!! I’m glad u found my video I got ton of videos on Hondas!!!
I thought the same thing. I thought it seized or something. Every other caliper i have ever dealt with you can compress the piston with out spinning it.
I was about to head to the parts store thanks bro
I swear that Hondas were designed by mechanics. They are a dream to work on.
Lol love ‘em I love the new electrical parking caliper heheh no scan tool required dealer must hate me
I didn't know you could twist it. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
Very good presentation. My son has a 2015 Honda Accord, we used C-Clamp, couldn't compress the piston. I thought the caliper was bad, and plan to replace it. This video shown us how to compress the piston without special tool, and we follow it, works out like a charm. All techniques introduced here is very useful (including how to use DW40 to do lubrication). Thank you for providing us this information. Very appreciate your kindness.
Nice job!!! I’m glad u found my video I have ton of videos on Honda’s !!!
So just a C Clamp wont work@@RBTheMechanic ?
@@Car1Sagan nope not on the back ones u less u spin it with player and compress with clamp at the same time
I got a s2000 the rear has the cross on the piston and I couldn’t get it to budge with. Man that was a pain in the butt. Then I watched a video and used the 3/8 ratchet close wise and no prob
WD 40 is petroleum based and as such will break down and destroy any rubber. Use a silicone based lube, after cleaning instead.
For that brief instance the small amount of WD-40 used won't destroy the rubber boot. If you soaked it in the WD-40 for a long time you might have a problem.
@@richardcarlson3627 what’s the best silicon spray out there?
@@MrSamPhoenixhigh temp silicone paste does the job well
Lube should come with new brake pads and rotors. Also, what about brake cleaner?
Isn't WD-40 say on the can its made from fish oil? NOT PETROLEUM!!?!?
At least on mine you don't even need to press (no more than you would on any other screw), just use a large screw driver and screw it back in very slowly. If the seal binds go back. I like the WD40 trick . I'll try that next time
What type of rotors and new brake pads do you recommend there’s a lot on Amazon to choose from. Don’t mind spending a little more since I’m doing the work myself. Thank you in advance.
Morris
I wouldn’t buy online get something quality from part store they can guide u betting good quality I use electric coated rotors lot and power stop brakes not the best but decent and quiet
Since I don’t have the tool, and since I don’t have a crowbar with a wide enough edge, I ended up using a large flat file. The edge of the flat file fit into the groove and I was able to have enough leverage to rotate the piston clockwise and down. Thanks for the video.
Good job!!!
This tip saved me, I also don't have the tool
Thanks for this video. I was doing it wrong . Was a big help.❤
Glad this video helped u
Thank you, brother Just the reassurance I needed.
Welcome!!!
Wished I saw your video before I bought a new caliper. At least I learn something new. Thanks 🙏
Oh wow anyways yeah always good idea to learn and know for down the road
Vid Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you this video was “very useful”. Happy New Year 🎊 and I wish you a wealthy, healthy, and happy 2022.
I’m glad my video helped u!! And I wish and know it will help millions in next year. Happy New year!! Stay safe
I have watched different video,s how to screw in the calliper and you are the only one that lighned the slots in a strait line up and down .thanks
Yup if u don’t align it ur brakes will wear out uneven and might not be able to close the caliper propperly
Thanks man this helped. My dumbass kept twisting the piston, and fixing the twisted boot. Took me like 15 minutes just to push the piston back since I was constantly trying to fix the boot
It's because in the stupid manual it says turn clockwise to compress the piston. So you end up turning and turning the piston and nothing happens except for the boot gets distorted. Hayes!
Yeah follow my
Steps should be easy
Funny thing is I never had that tool, I only ever used the pry bar. Just a poor boy working with what I got
Well it smart to do ur own work and use ur invitation some time I don’t even wanna walk to the tool box just turn it with prybar
You are the man.I was struggling to use the pressing tool until I watched the video.i did it. Thank you 🙏
Glad u found the video
Bros a beauty with the breaks. Thanks a lot!
Thank you bro!! I love doing brake jobs never had a come back
Don't use the bar tore my finger up years ago trying that I wouldn't suggest it
Ok sorry
Why not just spray it down with brake cleaner? Just wondering why you didn't go that route?
That’s fine to I can take that rout next time
Way to spend 3 hours talking for a video that can literally take 20 seconds
Yes as long as I explain it and people get help from the video!! If it’s too long for you I’m sorry
Great video, I am just doing this for the first time on a honda civic SI, it has the same type of caliper as in your video. How do I know the piston is turned back in all the way. I am using one of those square blocks on my ratchet. The piston is still about 3/16" out of the caliper and its very hard to turn in anymore. The parking brake is off as far as I can tell. Thanks for the help.
It will compress and it will stop going on once it reaches end
Purchase a new caliper , they shouldn’t twist in extremely tight
Super helpful!! Had them both done in about 15 minutes
Nice good job!!
Did u use tools or just the crowbar?
@@austinamaechiibe1922i just used a really big Klein flathead screwdriver
@@Nirret alright, thanks!
Awesome... but WHY does Honda gotta be dumb and different with the back brakes!!
No this is actually good design it eliminated drum brakes the caliper working with ur foot brake also energy hand brake it apples both.
why not just use a c clamp and old brake shoe then needle knows pliers
Can’t u have to push and turn don’t need lot of force to push
Whats that tool called specifically to search it up
Honda rear caliper compress tool kit a.co/d/g9eFzAm
This certainly helped me. Nice one mate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Nice glad it was a help!!!
Great explanation. A question: What can I do when the rear wheel of my Honda Accord is stuck after changing the brake pads?
Thanks
Did u have any difficulty compressing caliper… and how easy was it to insert the brake pads to brake brakes?
Never knew to rotate the piston....
Yup these Hondas r all like that and Acura tod Tsx accords and some fords and mazdas
Had a siezed caliper cylinder on a 15 si...thanks man!
The kitt is 45 dlrs not expensive
Yes but if u don’t got it at the moment then this is the way
@@RBTheMechanic yes
I didn’t know it had to be aligned I twisted it in but don’t remember if I put it straight the boot went in good tho
Will that cause any problems I’ll have to redo them
It prolly will find it way in but if it dosent then they will wear out uneven I would go back in there fix it
@@RBTheMechanic yeah ima gona redo it and get new rear rotors just resurfaced them probably will wear uneven so I will redo them anyways thanks for the video man wish I seen it before
@@abrahammartinez5628 yeah fix it up
Amazing job, saved me time cost and effort ! Thank you !
Nice!!
WD 40 is for electrical use only
I use it on everything
Thxs for trick , without tool
Welcome!!!
i left one of the boot twisted because i couldn't get the air out.. the boot isn't blocking the metal piston part when i installed it back in. would that be okay and would that cause air to be in the brake line? thanks in advance.
I would go back and fix it up try lube so it dosent do that but it’s not gonna cause air to go in line
@@RBTheMechanic got it. And thanks for the fast reply.
I tried doing this as well and ended up ripping the seal 😢 is there a way to install a new seal or do i need a whole new caliper, and also is it bad if i drive it for a few weeks til i get that seal
The dust boot? I doubt that y can buy boot itself best to replace the caliper
Thanks, in the middle of doing this right now and your video was a real help.
Great to hear! Update me how it went and make sure u pump the brake peddle once’s ur complete before u start the vehicle
Great video RB ! , thank you sir, 10/10 😃
Thank u
Don’t use a petroleum based oil like WD-40 because the rubber boot is made of petroleum material and the oil will eat the rubber then you’ll have a leak. Use a silicone based oil.
Will do so down the road
wd40 and brakes not a good combo lol
Temporary use
I hear ya I do that stuff sometimes on my channel when I don't feel like going to the store
@@DR_LOVESPONGE I just needed the rubber not to grip sligh slick
This was great.
I have a accord and i also have a 02 crv. However I'm trying to figure out how to free the piston that is stuck compressed down on one of my rears of the caliber of my 02 crv. Can break it loose or just replace the caliber? I noticed it when doing my brakes. 237k on the crv!
It’s so old I would replace it if it’s not twisting or need lot of force To twise it
Thanka for the video! Helped me with mine, I didnt know it was the rotating type
Yeah rotate and push!! Glad u figured it out!!
Good video
I'm leery of using a wire brush on rubber parts...is this OK? I think you may be better off using a nylon or similar brush with plastic fibers. Wire brush is fine if you avoid the rubber and just use it on the rusty metal parts. Same with WD-40...this product contains solvents (petroleum distillates) that are not good for rubber (and paint!) . The rubber can eventually dry out and crack. I'd recommend a silicone lubricant (or even an emulsified product like Armor-All, but be sure to avoid brake surfaces. Just dab it on a rag and wipe it on the rubber). Dude I'm a chemistry major and know what I'm talking about. I dont know how long it would take for the rubber to dry out and crack, and maybe you've been doing this forever with no problems, but I wouldnt recommend it. Otherwise great video and you're saving people a lot of time and grief. Here's a video on how to protect rubber boots on the underside of your car: ruclips.net/video/k19sd8tDAnE/видео.html
That brush I didn’t go hard on and it’s soft really soft
Thanks for this Vedio.I got Honda civic 2006 ,rear right side was so easy to comress and turn with needle nose plier, but rear left side is so solid/frozen that i cannot make it move even with comress tool.Please advise.
Thanks
Yeah that one gotta be replaced I have video on replacing calipers just type in search caliper Honda Accord rb the mechanic all related videos will show up
WD40 despite that many people use it as lubricant its not to use to lubricate anything close to rubber as it is absorbed by rubber and it end up weakening the rubber, that loses its purpose of sealing!
Will keep that in minds
That part of the seal is the outer part of the seal , they always get stuck to the pistons like that on higher mileage and or older cars , I usually avoid that happening by VERY carefully lifting just the tiniest smallest outter area of that seal with a plastic trim panel/upholstery removal tool and shoot in the smallest bit of PB blaster of Deep Creep , clear around the piston where the seal sits with a nylon or brass brush , giving the PB a few minutes to work it's way in well . Make sure when your done that you get off as much of the penetrating oil or grease as you can using brake cleaner, if you leave any petroleum based fluids or substances in there , their tackyness will accumulate tons of dust and dirt which obviously one always should take measures to avoid happening to what ever parts your working wish , cleanliness is Godlyness especially when working with car parts.
Edit: wow I just only now watched the video paying attention this time around just to realize the guy in video does basically exactly what I recommended in my comment which obv I left before actually paying attention the video , whoops.
One rather important and relevant bit of info I will leave speaking against the process's this guy uses hopefully to save someone out there a headache is don't ever try to put pressure against a piston on a caliper of this style when attempting to thread it back in UNLESS you want to risk fracturing or outright breaking a chunk off your calipers piston as they are honestly not that strong and surely do not always respond well to all the required pressure needed to thread it back in applied on only one single small and isolated section of the piston from using a tool such as a pry bar to keep preszure against it. The pistons in brake calipers are only of a cast type construction and not all too thick usually,, sometimes on newer cars they now are even made out of composite mix of metals and ceramic type materials, which obviously most I believe would know that most all cast metals and ceramics are already on their own prone to cracking, especially when force is applied to them on just a small area instead of spread out as even as possible over as much of the parts surface area possible , which is one of the primary reasons specialty tool kits are made and widely available for calipera of this style which most call threaded calipers, so yeah , forget about the pry bar and by a tool kit made to do this job the right way, they are widely available and really are very cheap, usually no more than only half the price of a remaned or new caliper , so why take a chance and risk doing senseless short cuts , brakes are no place for short cuts if you value human life that is
Yeah little but effort u can save it it keeps the dust out and and internal part of piston clean
