![How to change rear brake disc and pads set on HONDA CIVIC 8 [TUTORIAL AUTODOC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/X23m7p_dJYY/mqdefault.jpg)
What about cleaning the slide pins and re-lubing them? Also, a little dab of anti seize on the pads where they contact the caliper.
Probably the best How-to video I have watched, I felt like i was back in shop class. The best time ever.
Just wanted to thank you, I was fighting with it until I watched this video. I finished the second side in 15 minutes. Thanks again.
You have a way to explain your works that makes everyone capable of doing it themselves.
DIY Master.
Thanks from Greece
Great that you mention the 12mm bolt holding the brake line in, which in most vids they just say loosen or drop the emergency brake and wiggle the caliper off. Now I get the caliper off on my 7th gen, check/change my brake pads, grease up the pins and whatnot. Thank you so much.
This is the best DYI video I've seen for changing brake pads. Everything is explained, even which way to turn a bolt. "Lefty loosey, righty tighty". Nicely done!
You are my hero, originally I had somebody replace the rear pads a while back, it was time to replace, saw your video and it cost me nothing cause the pads were under warranty. thank you.
Seriously; yours are the best automotive tutorials I've seen.
Dude thanks sooo much! Just changed my rear breaks in an hour without ever having done it before. You are awesome!
just got an 08 civic coupe, learning simple repairs, the jack extension completely blew my mind, didnt know it went together like that.
Awesome, Ive changed them on motorcycles and fronts. Found a disc brake and was like wtf do i do?!?! great video
Thank you, helped me do my own brake and rotor job in 2 hours. You're a very thorough guy with good camera angles. One thing I didn't like were when you explained extremely simple matters like Lefty loosey, righty tighty. I would imagine that anyone attempting to do a job such as this would know that. otherwise great job!
Don't forget to line up the piston cross mark on the outer part of the piston to correspond with the top lug on the inner pad, this could cause abnormal wear on the pads if incorrectly fitted. ..........Nice video!. ooooooops someone else mentioned it earlier.
I recently did the rear brakes on my civic and I knew about lining up the "button" with the caliper piston. But when I put it back together I for the life of me could not tell if it was lined up properly or not. Is there a trick? The little button on the pad needs to be directly in the centre of the cross hatch on the piston? Wouldn't that happen naturally as the piston makes contact with the pads?
you right brother i make mistake like what you say booooooooooo hooooooooooooooo brake pad uneven wear out smile
I've just had a very diverse work experience and I've always had a hunger for learning.
Great Tutorial! Thank you so much! I did the job in about an hour and a half after watching this. Got 105,000 miles on my original rear brake pads, it was time for a change! Thanks again for the video help!
Nice work Hack...I was stuck until I watched your video....great camera work as well and not any bullshit just the nuts and bolts thank you
Just what I needed to see. Doing this tomorrow on my Si. I usually pop the top on the master cylinder to help the pressure go backwards in the system.
Wish I had the jis rotor screws and screwdriver with the purchase of my brake kit. Thanks for this video, definitely made my life easier as a step by step instructional. Thanks again
Excellent video. One of the best I've seen on this subject. Keep up the good work.
Excellent video Sir! Just 1 piece of advice from experience - put some cushioning under your knees. I hurt my knees by not doing so, and I wish I had of cared for my body because I often experience knee pain as a result.
Thank you so much, brother! I was having a heck of a time trying to compress the caliper with a c-clamp that was too small, so I gave up for the night and went to you tube for some pointers. I came across your post and come to find out I didnt need a c-clamp at all! And further, if I'd have cranked on it with a larger c-clamp without rotating it I probably would have broken something. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Keep up the great work!
Nice vid bro. I may never buy another car manual again! I had no idea about rotating the rear piston. You've saved me much frustration. Thanks a ton.
Hello, just wanted to say a huge thank you for posting this video. Really helped me and saved a ton of money! Cheers!
Thanks so much for making this excellent video! It was super helpful to me today, especially the part about how to compress the slotted piston without the special tool. (Oh, and the instruction to unbolt the clamp on the brake line to enable the caliper to be fully removed! Wasn't sure why it wasn't coming off, then watched this video!)
I followed the steps in this video but I had drum brakes in back and got air in the lines messing with them LOL and then the front brakes were super easy to do. I bled the brake lines and brakes have never felt so responsive :)
Great video! You saved me a bunch of quarters in the swear jar. I appreciate the part where you spoke of using the tire as a wedge between the car and the ground. If I'm as skinny as the tire I'm saved lol but in all honesty I have floor jacks for each tire if needed. Safety first!
Thanks a lot for your video. It took me exactly one hour to change both sides. One suggestion that is not in the video, my first two bolts were turning and turning and never going out, there's another one in the other side that you may have to move for the bolts to start going out.
thanks for the video. very well made. This video alone gave me the confidence to do the breaks on my 2009 civic coupe myself
This was very informative. I went to a mechanic to have my rear brakes and rotors resurfaced. After I got the car back and drove it, their was "nail on the chalkboard" screeching when I began to drive and when I step on the brake. Sounded like metal on metal.
Great video, I am a die hard Ford man and would have never known to screw the pistons in, and to remove the cable bolt, glad I viewed before tearing apart GF car!!!
excellent video! had a not so financially fortunate friend who needed a brake change and this video showed everything I needed to fix it for free....minus the parts of course. Thanks!
helped a bunch! never would have figured out that 12 bolt holding the brake line
Bravo e utile filmato. Il fai da te è sempre il sistema migliore per lavori sulla nostra auto.
Thanks for the video. I was able to succeed installing new brakes on my 2012 Civic Si.
Thank you!! You just saved me $169!! I didn't realize the piston had to twist. That said, I had given up trying the other night and was looking for a brake shop to do it for me (nearly $200)... Again, thank you..
I successfully fitted the new brakes to my Boeing 747 thank you
hahah
Go crash land now & do everyone a favor
Great pics with excellent lighting.
this was an excellent demonstration. thank you!
A great how-to-video. very detailed for anyone to do their brakes. I would have never known about twisting the cylinder to get it to retreat. I was trying to force it back with a crowbar and no luck so i said i better check youtube. Awesome. Only problem I had was the rubber boot around that cylinder would twist with the cylinder so i had to pry the boot out of its channel carefully and free it from the rust. i am in Canada. lol Thanks so much.
Very well done, not too fast, and very detailed. Great Job.
Excellent video, many thanks. If I wanted to go one step further and replace the rear brake disc as well, how would I go about it?
Thanks man! Garage was charging me 250$ and I had the parts! Such an easy job
Thank you for such a clear and easy to understand video on changing rear pads. Do you have a video on how to maintain the slider pins, how often do they need servicing?
Great video!!! Very nicely explained and very good camara angles. Well done!!!
Very nice clear detailed instructions. One spec that should be added is the torque value of the tire lug nuts. The value on my 2000 accird is 72 inch lbs. that torque prevents the wheel hub from warping. It also insures that the lugs are tight enough. Not sure what the torque setting value would be for a Civic.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you so much for posting this! I always learn something new!

Hey, I really appreciated your video! It really helped out a lot. Keep doing what you do!
Fantastic video! Solved my problem in easy to follow steps. Great camara shots. Could see everything clearly!
Thank you, great video. I will definitely have this on replay when im doing this job.

Quick tip: When loosening the lug nuts and maybe the tire shop over tightened them, pull up on the wrench rather than pushing down. When you push down your force is limited to your body weight. When you pull up you can use your arms and legs to full effect and get more force.
These instructions were fantastic. Thanks!
Well explain tutorial teacher. Simple and Easy !!! - Doing my break going forward. Thanks again.
Presentation like a pro! Thanks. Just one suggestion, you could have shown us the wear on the old brake pads. I see that the inside pad had worn down to the wear alert plate and the inside rotor had plate wear marks.
Just replaced our 2008 civic rear brake pads by this video and we did it!! Great video as we watched it as we did it in the exact steps as he did and it helped us tremendously. Any chance you could do a video on replacing the front and back wheel bearings for the civic as well
?? Please!
Great video Dean done my rear pads this morning with your help You Are The Man.....Thanks...Jack
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Great video.
Great video only one thing to add is that on the back of the inner brake pad are two lugs. The piston has a large cross section on the end in which the lugs must sit. to do this i made sure that when i screwed the piston in it was exactly square on. So take notice of the position when you first slide it off.
Great point to notice the position of the piston face when you take it off! I will try to mark it so I know where it was when I removed it.
Great comment that points out a weak spot in an otherwise helpful and well shot videol
awesome DIY video, audio, lighting and good explanation.. I'll share this video with my friends and I will certainly watch other videos made by the same creator.. you got my highest rating.. Thanks.
Great video!!!! You go into some great detail! thanks for posting it helped me a huge amount :)
just bought an '08 and this video will come in handy when (eventually) change the brakes
Excellent instructional video! Really appreciate it!
Good video. What about the silicone grease on the pins? Necessary? I usually don't but my pads are a bit sticky and I'm doing it this time. Mechanic says make sure it is SILICONE grease or it will damage the rubber. (The pins are the 2 main bolts in the video)
very clear and excellent instuctions. i save a lots of money on this replacing rear/front brake pads.
Excellent tutorial DIY video.Thanks a million!
Excellent video, Thank you!
Thanks for the helpful straightforward info. Rob
dude that rear brake was still good!
thank you!!!!
I had problems with my rsx
now I know what to do :D
Thanks, this also helped with the Ballade 2013 model.
Thank you so much, this was definitely worth the watch.
Thanks a lot for the video. Saved me almost $200. Just an fyi to others, this works the same for 9th gen civics too. Just did it for my 2012 si.
Also, for the piston, I just pushed it back with a large flathead screw driver, clockwise.
Thank you for a very detailed and easy to follow video.
Great video! Thank you so much!
Every time you change your brake pads, you also need do to a little cleaning and greasing : on the brake pad sliders and on the caliper sliders. Special high temp resistant grease is needed.
Great video sir thank you very much. I cannot thank you enough for helping with such a great video. I thing can do the job my self on my civic next time.
Good video, but doesn't the slots in the piston suppose to line up with the 2 raised dowls on the pad?
Thanks man, this video was a big help
again, the piston cross marks have to align with the raised "button" on the inner pad, if you neglect this , it will result in uneven brake wear.
I recently did the rear brakes on my civic and I knew about lining up the "button" with the caliper piston. But when I put it back together I for the life of me could not tell if it was lined up properly or not. Is there a trick? The little button on the pad needs to be directly in the centre of the cross hatch on the piston? Wouldn't that happen naturally as the piston makes contact with the pads?
Great video! thanks a million saved me tons of time. Good Job.
Excellent video! Thank you for posting this! Great information and editing with the video. Thank you thank you thank you :)
you seem like a good teacher. thanks for the video. :)
Thank you sir for this video. very clear, well explained. Thanks for saving us some good money… Blessings.
Great Video! Thanks for sharing. I apologize if it's already been asked and I missed t, but does this also apply to a 2011 Honda Civic rear brake job?
great instructions. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing. Very well explaination.
Thanks Dean. I've been putting off this job for months because I heard about the funky pistons on the rear. Cars got 52K on it and I've changed out the front pads long ago. I'm a DIY'er myself and I've been working on my own cars for over 30 years myself. I don't know how people can afford to run to a shop for every little problem with their car, when just using a few tools, some time, and readily available info, most problems can be fixed in your own driveway. Thanks for the great video!
Lovely....such an awesome teacher
keep up the good work man....would love tosee you do some work on the 4th gen Fbody's ..
I will add one thing. Did this job yesterday. Better to de-adjust the handbrake at the lever before winding back the calliper piston. Needed 10mm deep socket for that. Otherwise simple.
Best instructional videos
Excellent information. Great personality. Thank you
good stuff, really helped thank you
Cheers for that mate. good video. keep em coming.
thanks for this video you made super easy for me to do my breaks
Thank you for tips, very helpful
Good presentation. Thank you.
Excellent video, thanks.
Replaced rotors and pads on 08 coupe.. im getting so rubbing on both sides pads on the rotors.. its annoying. Any suggestions.. its not grinding just rubbing. Still doing this after several stops from diff speeds.
Thank you! Couldn't figure out how to get the piston to compress!
