So I watched this video a few times and then I set out to do the work. I was kinda nervous cause I have never done a brake job in my life. I just forked out $500 bucks each time. Anyways, bought an upgraded brake kit with hardware pads, rotors, and all the shiny new stuff to go along and some brake grease. Jack stands and all. Went well spent like 3 hours total had one rotor that was a pain so I used the persuader and it came off. Used grease where I was supposed to and put it together and took it for a spin and bedded the brakes and the car is perfect. Thank you so much.
Nice job!!!! Glad u did it urself for first time each time I do it u will get quicker faster and it will be easier. By the way diy ke check ur work and ur all set!!!
Did you bleed your brakes?
Why do u do this @@oakkblackbird
Thank you so much for the instructional videos on the subject. You are a big help ! God Bless.
Thanks for the tips. I wire brushed where needed and cleaned everything then I pulled the pins and cleaned em and put a little silicone grease on then dabbed some on the back of the pads and tiny bit on brake clips.
Jim H nice job better than what I did! Please subscribe also subscribe to my other channel here’s a link czcams.com/channels/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg.html

Thank u for making this video!
No problem always here to help you can always ask me anything about any type of repair

AARNI1000 ok double check all of the bolts since it’s your first time and take ur time
@@RBTheMechanic sure. Thanks
Thx for this vidéo 💯
Yo, love the video. Great job! Thanks for the tips.
Thank you!!
With these instructional videos, you can really tell when someone knows what the hell he's talking about.
Karl Hungus thanks trying to help as much as I can also entertain I have another nice channel here’s a link please subscribe czcams.com/channels/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg.html
Great video. Clear and right to the point! Great tips! All these years I never thought about turning the steering wheel to make it easier !! Lol 😭😭
Yeah me too I usually just do it without turning but for camera it makes it easier to see so tried this new trick and showed it
When changing brakes and pushing in caliper, do i need to u do the cap on brake fluid reservoir or leave it closed???
If u open it then it would breath better
Definitely a really good video, can you make another one on how to change the brake drums and shoes brakes on a 2013 Honda Civic as well? Trying to find out how to do it and very crappy luck finding anything for a 2013.
Thanks bro always here to help with anything u can always send me message for anything what so ever anyways I don’t have video on drum brake job on this car yet haven’t got hands on one with drums yet but here’s a link on Nissan Sentra they brakes are very much alone and process is same czcams.com/video/zjCgypjW9F0/video.html
@@RBTheMechanic perfect thanks bro!!
@@Kosmic_Stoney I also recommend getting a subscription to haynes automotive manuals, if you get the online version it has step by step instructions with photos. I use this as a guide to help me along the way and using videos I find on youtube, its definitely a huge help!
Should you bleed the brakes after or before you put on new pads and rotors?
If u want to do the bleeding I would do it this way before anything suck out all the fluid from reservoir and out new fluid and then when about to push the caliper pistons back open the caliper valve and allow the fluid to come out when compressing so it dosent go back in to the system after doing all 4 brakes then u can do one last flush so all the fluid come out of lines and make sure u keep topping fluid on top
Will the ebc usr slotted rotors fit a 13 lx?
Not sure
Which side does rubber sliding pin go into caliper top or bottom?
Usully I pay attention to where it came off but most cars if caliper is rear of rotor from car it’s on bottom if front it’s top
What size were the screws you used the impact driver on? And by the #12 hex bolts, did you mean 12mm? Sorry, I know nothing
1 1 not sure about the size on punch but yes 12mm
The drive u can match up perfect size
@RB he meant the impact ...you used a 17mm
Few things id add is: 1. Add brake grease to the mating surface of al hardware 2. DO NOT use WD40 anywhere on these brake components 3. Open your brake fluid reservoir before compressing your caliper. 4. Use brake cleaner to clean surface after all is installed but before you install your tire.
Ok thank you for the tips
it's ok to put grease on the back side of the brake pads?
Yes thanks for catching my mistake but I did full video on greasing points only about treason for brake I covered all that
What grease did you use ?
Here’s all the detail on brake grease and type of grease czcams.com/video/sKrD8RoqRqk/video.html
Great video, my friend is a mechanic and is doing front and rear brakes and rotor change for $160 and I bought ceramic pads and black coated rotors for 180 from rockauto parts. But I would love to try this myself. How much is the tool gun to put the screws in. Regular mechanic charge way to much just for labor 300$ and my own parts which is insane.
Which rool fun ur talking about ? U need compress tool
@@RBTheMechanic I think he is asking about your impact gun
@@someguysname7121 I paid around 400 Years back
You don't need an impact gun to break those bolts loose. You can probably do it with a standard ratchet, definitely with a wrench and hammer. The impact just saves time. If they're really stuck, tighten first then loosen.
He put the pads in dry - always grease the contact points before fitting pads
which contact points?
you mean the actual braking surface? or the "tangs" that fit the brake pads?
Good call, and never-seize your hardware. People who turn wrenches know.
Hi dude, what the part number of brake pads, can't find it now for my civic
Well I don’t have part numbers but part store can find it by vin number they have the parts list data
What’s the part number for the rotors?
Sorry I don’t have part numbers unless I show it in the video
Thanks bro i needed that
Welcome
Whats the size of the screw that you hit with the punch? 1/2 or 3/8? I want to buy the tool but im not sure, I have the same car with same issue
Mickey Adams don’t buy the tool it’s terrible I broke the bits like 20 times use regular punch hit it in an angle it will loosen up
@@RBTheMechanic 😂😂😂👍🏻
@@RBTheMechanic I put the lug nuts back on tight and it took pressure off the screw and it came out much easier.
I was going to ask about the miles. I just bought a 2013 civic and idk how bad the rust is. This car looks a lot better than mine. But mine has 103k so it’s normal to an extent
If ur doing brakes replace the rotors the mostlikely rusted and ready to go out
My rotors are not coming off, I took all the bolts and screws off but still nothing, rotor doesn’t even move, can someone help what could it be? Thanks 🙏🏼
U have to hit it with hammer it Locke sun with rust
@@RBTheMechanic thank you so much for this video, saved me a lot of money, also even hitting it with a hammer didn’t work but this other video helped me with that, in case someone experiences same thing.

All that punch did was shatter the heads off these damn rotor screws, had to drill them out
Mannnn that snap on $400 punch I had was just garbage I learned a great trick I rotate the rotors to where I can hit in back so bring it to close as passable to where ur gonna hit in back with hammer and it loosens the screw then turn it out like butter worked last 10 jobs for me I made videos I will see
@@RBTheMechanic can you just unscrew them without punching it? I don’t remember having to do that when I changed my Celicas rotors and pads.
@@mjax278 oh yeah on Toyota it dosent have the screw Hondas have this and I do have a video on how to remove the screw without punching it here’s a video on that czcams.com/video/0y_k0Q2c6nY/video.html
Why do they charge so goddam much 🙄
How much were you quoted?
@@RBTheMechanic $345 for me to have the front on both sides done. Rotors and pads. Thanks for the refresher. It’s been years. My brother is a mechanic but he’s tired of helping 😂😂😂
@@mjax278 lol yeah we’ll always time to DIY
@@mjax278 all car maintenance is robbery at a shop or dealership, easy to do yourself on Hondas. Most mechanics think that they can charge $100 per hour.
