Excellent video. Some reminders if you are doing this: -- The pads are different inside and outside; the insides are different left and right. Just match them with the Honda kit. -- Even the shims are slightly different top and bottom (but probably interchangeable) That last one reminds me of the pan/cover under the engine you remove to do the oil. 4 different fastener types and 3 different tools to take it off. I can't believe that passed a peer review at Honda.
Very competent job. Sadly you cannot trust these details to be done correctly even at some dealerships. The quality of people doing work these days is sad.
I am not an expert but your torquing procedure is wrong. You should not fully bolt down the bolts using air gun then use a torque wrench to check the torque. Air gun is easily capable of torquing more than 100 lbs-ft but spec may be 80. Now torque ratchet will always click because bolts are at least 80, but the actual fact is that you don’t know how tight the bolts are. Other than that good video.
I appreciate your comment I’ve been doing this for 13 years I think I know how to torque down fasteners. Yes I use air tools I think the majority of people in the industry uses them it makes the job easier and quicker, yes in the wrong hands it could be bad and bolts snap. But if you recall in the video the bolts wernt fully tightened down I got a little bit out of it before it clicks.I don’t put my gun on full blast and send em home I always will make sure it is at least torqued to spec. some times it’s little over torqued I’m ok with that I’m sure a lot of people will agree that it’s better over tight than under tight. You never know with air tools a compressor might be failing and producing less pressure which I have seen before in another shop people tighten wheels with their air guns think it’s tight then the car comes back on a flat bed with loose lug nuts.
It’s all depends on the gun, the type of compressor they got, the pressure. I’m sure he knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s letting off right on it.
I had some lugnut over-tighten my lug nuts with one of those airpowered tools. It took two men with a T lug wrench to break them loose. I was surprised they didn't snap.
@@johnflack1350 sorry to hear that but unfortunately some people don’t know when to stop and just hammer them on not everyone is like that and they know the limit when tightening something down
Great thank you. We could use more Honda DIY videos. Hopefully you will get more subs and views as the Car Care Nut channel but over there, they only talk about Toyota
Where can I find information about how much torque to tighten the bolts in the vehicle for my 2019 Honda Civic fk7? It is not written in the user manual, I would be glad if you can help me
Great work, nice details... does it matter if I do my front pads before or after a front end alignment? I have lunch wagered on your answer... LOL Thanks
Possibly pad shift? It’s pretty common usually when you go in reverse and hit then brakes you hear a little click. Honda has a bulletin/ service news article on this. The diag procedure for pad shift is take a business card cut it to take up the space between the pad and the bracket. Then test drive it if the noise goes away that’s pad shift and completely normal
You made it look sooo easy. Unfortunately I had to abandon ship. I had to struggle removing those caliper frozen bolts from my 2018 CRV. Didn’t have a compressor, had to do it manually. Finally. Removing the The rotor was impossible. It had a screw just like the video, unfortunately it also was frozen in place and the head screw got stripped. Abandon removing it. Those little return clips kept falling off as I was installing new brake pads. Tried hours with no luck. I finally gave up after four hrs of work. Not a do it yourself. Job. 😢
If you have the rite tools it’s possible. Those set screws for the rotor should come out easy but if not there’s a tool for that that helps. If it’s stripped you would have to drill it out. As for the caliper frozen bolts if you have a long enough ratchet it should take a bit of effort but they should come out. It’s definitely a do it your self job unlike the rear brakes where you need a scan tool to put the calipers in maintenance mode unfortunately sometimes even with the rite tools things dosnt work as you would hope. Even at a professional level we struggle with issues where it should be easy but it turns into a project.
@damianovarvaro4633 I live in a rust belt and I hate those set screws. I just drill the head of them off, I do not reuse them. As for removing the caliper bolts, a breaker bar gets them off easily. For the clips, physically hold the brake pads in place until you put the caliper in place over the pads.
Bro one more question. My 16 CRV just hit 65000 miles. Do you recommend to replace the spark plugs and ignition coil ?? Vehicle running fine and everything is good. Is it necessary to do replace them bcz of the milage ? Thank you Just subscribed your channel
Thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it. As for your car Honda recommends replacing the plugs around 100k under normal driving conditions. If you idle your car for long periods of time then I would do it sooner. As for the coils you can replace them all along with the spark plugs but Honda dosnt have any set replacement time usually you replace them individually when one goes bad. On a 16 crv I haven’t seen almost any coils go bad but it’s totally up to you if you would wanna replace them with the plugs. Around the 60k mark I would do a brake flush, transmission drain and fill and if your CRV is AWD I would do a rear differential service hope this helps 👍🏼
Waoo you did that smooth like butter. Great for DIY community. Which greace did you use ? Please let me know. I'm doing my break next week. Thanks again
My 2020 CRV has completely different Calliper's to this model on the front , I thought they would all be a standard type slightly larger and a different shape than these , My car was made in Japan its a Euro spec model so I am confused
I bought brake pads and the hardware is a bit different. It has almost like a spring in the middle where put the pads in But the pads are made for my car. You think they will work?
I would say you would be ok if it says it fits your car. I’ve seen a few CRV’s with aftermarket pads that didn’t have that retainer if the Springs you have is used to retain the pads and the pads look identical to the ones your take off and you have no noises you should be fine I’ve seen some issues with aftermarket brakes making noise so I always recommend factory.
@@thehondatechnician something you said is very important. If parts aren't sourced from a dealer. Compare new parts with the old. Take the time to make sure they are identical. I've been burned by that in the past with pads too big and ended rubbing on the rotor hub and making a new groove.
Bro, do you always need to resurface the rotor ? Like if I want to do this at home but of course I don’t have that machine lol. The rotor on mine has only 46k miles on it but it might have very tiny grooves since the pads make a loud scraping noise when they’re wet
Some places do resurface the rotors for you if you bring it to them. if you have an O’reillys auto parts near you they usually do for like $15 each rotor. But to Answer your question no you don’t need to resurface the rotors but with a resurfaced rotor that allows the pads to break in better with the rotor and helps with squeals and squeaks
It was a certified used vehicle I can’t remember exactly but It was around 40k only reason why I replaced the pads was because the rotors were pulsating so I was going to machine the rotors anyways and the pads were a little more than 50% worn so it only makes sense to replace the pads for an extra $80 that the pads cost I always gives sales the option since im in their already might as well just replace them if not those pads would lasted another 15-20k
Could you please do a video on the 2017 Honda CR-V rear brake pad replacement, so that we will know how to perform the job without the use of a computer when dealing with the electronic parking brake. Thanks!
I will keep that in mind, i usually do my videos early in the morning when i have a CRV and i have to do rear brakes i will defiantly make a video and show both ways on how to do it with a scan tool and with out.
This never a good idea. When the shop supplies the parts they guarantee the parts and workmanship. If you buy the parts, you will pay the labour to install, the labour to remove them and the labour to reinstall the replacement parts if there is a problem. Not all parts you buy are the right parts or defect free. If the garage orders them, they will correct any parts problems at their cost not yours. Only buy parts if your doing the work because then the labour is free. It's a false economy.
If your doing a simple brake job (replacing pads and rotors) you do not need to bleed the brakes unless you introduce air into the system like replacing a caliper. Some people do take off the cap from the master cylinder when pushing back the caliper piston but i dont do that and i dont have any issues. If you want to bleed the brakes to just flush out the system of old brake fluid then you can defiantly do that
@@thehondatechnician Nice video! Short and sweet. I like to bleed the old dirty brake fluid when I push in the piston. The fluid at the end is the fluid that gets hot due to braking. I top off the master cylinder after EACH bleeding so that it doesn't get too low. That insures you refresh the brake fluid over time. It also helps ensure that the bleeder bolt doesn't freeze in place due to lack of use. I'll be doing my daughter's 2019 CR-V front pads on Sunday.
Excellent video. Some reminders if you are doing this:
-- The pads are different inside and outside; the insides are different left and right. Just match them with the Honda kit.

Those shields are a pain I wish they only had kind of fastener for them
I just did this 1/2 hour ago. I love Honda products, but really? Definitely a fail.
Very competent job. Sadly you cannot trust these details to be done correctly even at some dealerships. The quality of people doing work these days is sad.
Thank you and I agree a lot of hacks out there
Good video. Well shot and clear explanation. 👌
thank you!
What are all the torque specs? Are they different for different years? I have a 2018
Caliper to bracket is 37 ft.lbs
Bracket to knuckle 101 ft.lbs
And yea it’s the same 2017-2022 CRV’s

You bet!
Any idea how to stop brake knocking?
Is it the same process for the crv hybrid? I only ask cuz I’ve never done brakes on a hybrid with regenerative braking
I have disc brakes but for 2016 can I put them on a 2017 car?
Hope you bring back making new videos!
I’ve been so busy at work I don’t have time to make videos but hopefully soon when it starts to slow down I can go back to making them

Hi one of the guidepins has a plastic piece at the end is that the top one or bottom one ?
i believe it goes on the bottom.
If you don’t have to mess with the rotors, can you just take the brake pads off and just put new ones on?
Finally found the Car Care Nut but for Honda’s
Do you recall if the slide pin thst had the rubber at the tip was for the top or the bottom of the caliper?
Bottom

How often do you turn rotors? Every time you do pads?
Yea if they’re serviceable we machine them it keeps the cost down. We can sometimes gets 2 brake jobs out of a set of rotor.

@The Honda Technician Thanks Dude. Appreciate your reply
Was the break caliper a push back piston or wind back?
The fronts are just a push back design you only see the spin back on rear brakes
What dealership do you work at? Looking to get brake pads changed on my 2018 Cr-v
Waoo you did that smooth like butter. Great for DIY community.

Is cutting the rotors a must every time pads are changed?
Nope you can just replace the pads but machining the rotors helps the pads breaking a little bit better and wearing to the rotor
