i swear i thought brakes was some complex thing. after watching this and one for my 17 expedition.... im quite certain i can do this. spark plugs seemed daunting at first too, but super easy
thank you for watching
Happy to see this is a normal install. I went to do rotors on my 04 Xterra. Nah. Straight to the mechanic you go buddy.
Nice concise video 👍
yes super easy on these Honda's
Sadly the rears need a scan tool to put the caliper into service mode. You can jump the connector to reset the caliper yourself but most people are against it since you risk damaging the caliper. Aside from that, the front brakes are straight forward
@@marcosborrell422not really leave ur car on neutral and don’t use the ebrake make sure ur on a flat surface
@a.dmarcel8377 no this is to reset the caliper piston without damaging it. Not using your ebrake has nothing to do with that. It still needs to be all the way back to put the caliper over the pads. Now you can force it back and by chance you can be straight. But for the most part I like to do things right. Which In this case, the scan tool would be necessary
I have a 10th gen si as well and my rears look just as bad as the front lol. First fwd car that had this issue. I usually just change fronts on my fwd cars.
Love the clicks lol
At the start of the video I'm thinking, "Damn, that Civic sounds killer!" lol
lol I am so up on the fence about throwing an exhaust on this car ... but as my daily ... I have to hold back because once you start to modify its a slippery slope ... because I know there is so much more to what I can do with this car ... and as a 1.5 turbo it blows me away how fast it is while getting 30mpg it surprises a lot of people on the highway lol that said nothing replaces my v8 cars lol
@@maldo72 haha that's awesome gas mileage! Since I was a kid I loved the 1979 Civic and always wanted to drop a blown 454 into one, with big old slicks in the back lol! They would take up almost all the interior space and it would be a dangerous thing to drive, but it would look sooooo cool! xD I like your Civic. Thank you for sharing it
@@RestorationObsession yes 454 with a blower on it in a civic that's what i am talking about it wish I had the time ...
Thanks for the vid man. I'm not a huge car guy but I have a 2020 Si and I'm debating replacing the pads myself for the first time ever. Do you know if the 2020 process is the same as your year?
yes it should be the same
Great video!
Two questions, curious if you'd know!
I figured I'd inspect my front brakes as I just did my rear rotors and pads. They look great but wanted to clean them at least!
Upon taking the caliper off I found it odd when I noticed we (Si's) only have one of those springs keeping the two pads off the rotor. Every other model Civic, as well as any replacement front brake kits I found has one on the bottom of the pad, as well as the one on top! The single spring on-top appears to, (atleast on mine) keep the top of the pads off the rotor but the bottom pretty well against it! Thinking of getting four to replace the two and adding the one on the bottom of the pads on both fronts. Obviously, I'm not having excess wear or anything, but really curious as to why this is the case.
And second: the slider pins going into the caliper, how can I re-lubricate them? On other vehicles they seem to just pull out but mine seemed to be pretty well attached to the rubber surrounding them! After a mild tug I didn't feel right continuing to pull on them! I'm assuming however, this is how they're meant to come out?
Thanks again, appreciate the useful video!
Yes mine only had one spring to keep the pads off the rotor.. it's not a big deal you can use a single spring or add a second on (i did not zero problems) ...
Slide pins simply pop out of rubber boot I put a tiny bit of high temp grease on pin then slide back in to keep then fresh....
Perfect vid thank you. Is torque wrench necessary on calipers?
No need
@maldo72 are you willing to part with the egr pipe that connected from the back of the LT1 to the passenger header that you removed from your 94 Camaro? Ive been trying to locate that part for two years now and im not having any luck finding it.
sorry that is long gone from my cars ..why in the world would you want to run the EGR pipe anyway ...
@@maldo72 damn that sucks to hear, since a lot of people think it's cool to do street takeovers here in commiefornia everything has to be stock since they started cracking down on modified vehicles
My mechanic buddy said I'd need a scan tool for something about the parking brake and caliper. Is this true?
?? there is no sensor on the parking brake so i am not sure what he is talking about
\
Is there any reason you unscrewed the brake fluid top?
yes to relief the pressure when you push in the brake caliber pistons
Can you top of brake fluid ? Or do you have to bleed the brakes before hand ?
If the master cylinder is full no need to just top off ......
wow cool, James, you also have a honda civic?
yes i do had it for couple of years
@@maldo72 cool, what's the year of the civic
is that a break cleaner that you sprayed on the new rotors?
Yes
Did you get the new parts from Honda ?
no got parts from autozone
what did you spray on the rotor? is it necessary?
brake clean and yes you need to wash off the packing oil ..
@@maldo72 thank you!
Great vid. Hope u gettin paid. 4 ads before the video finished
Sorry Wow really I did not set it up with so many ads strange will look into that thanks....
will the 10th gen si rotors fit 8th gen si?
i am not sure if they will fit
How can I know the torque values?
there is a torque value some place if you look up but, never need it just snug down
Nice torque wrench 😂😂😂 better than snap on
What are the torque values???
sorry dont have it
ooo si... how many squirrels hp does it have? lol cool daily driver...
U put the tire on wrong. When tightening the lugs you are supposed to make a cross pattern
Do I have to rectify the discs?
??
