I have been working on cars since my grandfather could beat the concept in my head, so I’ve changed countless pairs of pads. That being said, never have I used these silicones or anti seizes for brakes. Last night I changed my friend’s Civic’s pads as a kind gesture, and utilizing these lubricants made such a world of difference in installation alone! Never too late to learn something new! Thanks for the video and insight!
You don't have to use silicone or any other paste for the sliding pins. It depends where you live. In dusty countries that silicone will gum up with dust in time and actually slow down your caliper in engaging/retreating after you press/release the brake. You can see the dirty pins in this video too. Just clean them thoroughly if you live in such place.
Not only is your video easy to follow, you also gave us the torque specs in the description. Often times people post videos but some of us don't know the torque specs or are not aware that something like brake line bolt could have a torque spec. So thank you so much for that :)
Used this video yesterday for my first(ever)brake pad replacement on my 2015 Civic LX. Well thought out and clear directions. Made the job significantly stress free and fun. Thank you-looking forward to doing the rear pads in the Fall.
Thank you, you save me more than $500 dollars. I took my car to honda dealership today for oil change and was told I need to replace my front brakes $380 and brakes fluid $165.
Have to replace the starter on my fit, decided to do it my self. Since I’ll save by not taking it to a mechanic. Decided to change the break pads too. Thank you for your video 🙌🏼
Just did my first front pads replacement, everything went almost as smoothly as it did in this video - which I couldn’t have done the job without. Thanks, MrRanger, next beers on me bro!!
Very helpful video-well done-thanks for including torque specs and links to parts. Wife just got estimate of $350 pads only replacement . Been awhile since I bothered wrenching. Thinking it’s time she gives it a try-we can work together.
Very good video. Very clear & the best part is that the camera is not moving all the place like most other videos. You just helped a lot of people to save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Nice little video, but i would suggest everytime you replace the brake pads to go ahead and replace the hardware also. It will keep new brakes from squealing. Most of the better quality brakes you buy come with them anyway.
You did that Great man, Good Job makes me want to record my Brake Job. I have a 09 Kia Spectra EX 74K Miles currently. and nobody has done a deep brake system change on this car, i might just do that.
Thank you for answering why my brakes are squeaking after new rotors and pads. I forgot to put anti-seize on the slider plates - so I’m guessing the pads are not releasing from the rotor causing constant contact and subsequent noise.
Hi, maybe you can watch my video! Open up a new idea! Here's a video of me replacing a brake pedal on a Honda with a brand of diagnostic equipment: th-cam.com/video/Ohc8rJwCe8c/w-d-xo.html . You can take a look, it might help you. There are more videos on my homepage, welcome to watch and follow
so on my 2012 civic si 4 door i didn't pay attention to the guide pins and noticed when i was cleaning that the one had a rubber bushing on the end.... i was like uh oh... and then started researching videos to find out what goes where.... and or just to find answers... and i got both some people saying bottom some saying top... some saying it depends on the car.... i see your video and you pull the rubber one from the bottom.... well on my car i chose to check the driver side and see where the rubber bushing pin was and on my 2012 civic si 4 door the rubber bushing was on the top on the driver side... but seeing your video and other peoples videos and reading forums.... im wondering was mine wrong does it need to be on the bottom.... i also saw on 2 videos doing this same job where they removed the rubber bushing from the top.... and then when they reinstalled the rubber bushing pin they reinstalled it into the bottom..... so this as just all been confusing im not sure if for a 2012 honda civic si 4 door front brakes does that rubber tip guide pin go into the top or bottom hole?
Excellent video. I like your style. My only question is why you decided not to turn rotors? I was always told to turn rotors every time you change pads for better braking and a clean mating surface for new brake pad material. Your video is excellent. Thanks for your time
I talked to a Honda technician in Oklahoma recently and he said they do not replace the rotors unless there is an obvious problem with them like grooves. So I am going with that. This is only my 2c.
Love the silent movie w birds chirping! Did I miss seeing the actual pads? I don’t know what I’m looking at either - first brake job I’ve ever seen I changed cabin and engin air filters myself this week. First time. Piece of cake. Other than oil change, what are the essentials to keep car in shape. I’ve never done much more than oil and timing belts, occasional fluids, brakes when needed, on 5 cars now. They all last at least 140-180k, then I sell and buy another.
Pads are shown around the 1:45 time mark. Just keep up the regular servicing, nothing more needed honestly. Don't ever listen to dealerships and replace what you really need and you're set.
MrRangerZr1 whAt constitutes regular servicing? I have done the ‘X miles recommended check’ Once or maybe twice per car but not every so many miles that dealership to tell you to do it. Are you suggesting I should be doing that when I say do it at 30,000 miles 75,000 miles 100,000 miles etc.?
nice video but did you install the same brake pads that you took off?? one pad looked thinner than the other one... after saving a lot of money by doing the brake job yourself isn't it a good idea to install brand new brake pads??
Between the standard Civic and the Si is there any difference in the brake system? Does not seem like it at first glance but I've seen parts listing differ from thE LX EX to the Si

Good vid ................ right to work without telling everyone the history of brakes. Good camera work, thanks for sharing. Parts list was a plus!
Used this video yesterday for my first(ever)brake pad replacement on my 2015 Civic LX. Well thought out and clear directions. Made the job significantly stress free and fun. Thank you-looking forward to doing the rear pads in the Fall.
Did you have to bleed the brakes? I’m looking forward to doing my brake today. Just not to sure if I need to bleed them as well
Excellent video! I'm almost at 70k on my 2015 and i am now starting to hear my brakes squeak. I'm looking forward to replacing my pads thanks to you.
Thank you, you save me more than $500 dollars. I took my car to honda dealership today for oil change and was told I need to replace my front brakes $380 and brakes fluid $165.
Excellent demo! Just one added step.. take off the brake fluid cap before starting the job to let out air bleed out
Yes good point
Have to replace the starter on my fit, decided to do it my self. Since I’ll save by not taking it to a mechanic. Decided to change the break pads too. Thank you for your video 🙌🏼
500% what i needed. thanks so much for the video and not talking through it. Also your 1200 BC shoes at the end almost made me choke.
Fisherman sandals, my dude...real masculine💪
AWESOME video. Used it today, felt like a man! Never paying for a brake change again.
Terrific video! Thank you for sparing us the endless talking so many DIY people do on their videos.
I love these videos , no voice no music , kind of soothing too... thanks
Thanks a lot for this video man! I finally changed my own brake pads and rotors on my 2015 Honda civic thanks to your video. Cheers!
Great job. Thanks. Very quiet and peaceful video compared to most videos heavy with trance and techno music.
Just did my first front pads replacement, everything went almost as smoothly as it did in this video - which I couldn’t have done the job without. Thanks, MrRanger, next beers on me bro!!
Moral of the story: Never pay a shop $350 bucks for a brake job.
or even $1150.
Kevbox2008 Pepboys tried to charge me 210$ for the front brake pads changing and told me it could be done within 30 minutes . I think they are insane.
Learn how to do this and offer the service to family members and friends for a small fee :)
Ultimately, owning the tools pays itself in this job.
No Everyone es capable to do this Job
@@angelrodriguez6973 but most people can learn it easily
This video saved me alot of money and gave me confidence. Thank you for this act of kindness
I changed my brakes pads and rotors today. Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful video-well done-thanks for including torque specs and links to parts. Wife just got estimate of $350 pads only replacement . Been awhile since I bothered wrenching. Thinking it’s time she gives it a try-we can work together.
Definitely doable.
How did it go?
Wife rolled eyes, looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. In short: Nothing done.
I enjoy watching this so much, I watched it about 20×
Do a video of replacing your clippers for your Honda civic
Great video. Just did my breaks for the first time and it was seemless! Very appreciative sir!
Best video on the internet. I didn’t even know those parts needed lube/paste thanks again big big help. Legendary Video
Very good video. Very clear & the best part is that the camera is not moving all the place like most other videos. You just helped a lot of people to save $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Thanks for the video, helped me take care of my daughters car for her and that make me feel good
Nice little video, but i would suggest everytime you replace the brake pads to go ahead and replace the hardware also. It will keep new brakes from squealing. Most of the better quality brakes you buy come with them anyway.
Devin Grose I think he just put the same ones on. Just to show how to do it
I owe you a beer. Just fixed my car with this. Thanks
Really useful video, straight to the point , ty sir 💪🏽 jiffy lube will no longer be getting me for my cash anymore
Probably the best DIY video I've seen on TH-cam. 👍👍👍
The best video I’ve seen. I will have your video playing next to me tomorrow morning doing brakes for the first time. 👍🏼💪🏼
How did everything go?
I’m hitting the shop first thing to get brake lube and anti seize (northeast) to give it a shot
Deserves an award for this video.
Thanks for the video! Just fixed mine, mechanic’s always up selling people on rotors!
Thank you for this cause my brakes started to make noise yesterday so I'm sure its time for a change. Keep up the great work!
You are doing good job. The other guy throw the pins away and also not pit the plate on the inner pads.
I just bought all the tools to do this myself chris fix gave me the confidence
he's a cool dude
Super easy to follow for a complete beginner like me. Thanks for the vid bro
Thank you, very informative for a retired panel beater... Excellent for every person
Bro you saved me 1000 bucks .
$1000. Sheeeeesh that’s heavy
Who the hell would charge you $1k to do front brakes? Even dealers don't charge that much.
Lee St.louis trust me its possible
Reaching even the expensive f-150s we don’t charge that much at dealerships
Great video. One suggestion though - try using cutips for applying the grease and such.
the best on here. Thank you so much for not ranting and get right to the point. I appreciate you very much
Best video ever. Very crisp and clear.
You make that look so easy. Thank you sir.
Great video. No need to talk about the history of the car or what kind of pet you have.
Been subbed for awhile, but never saw this vid. Thanks for the uploads!
You did that Great man, Good Job makes me want to record my Brake Job. I have a 09 Kia Spectra EX 74K Miles currently. and nobody has done a deep brake system change on this car, i might just do that.
Record it and post it! It's all about helping people out.
@@MrRangerZr1 yes it is you are correct, Thanks.
Thank you very much ! Saved me on repairs. Plus now i know how to do it myself. Win win !
Great video! Great editing to only show what needs to be seen. Appreciate your posting this very much. Thanks MrRangerZr1!
Thanks bro, just changed the brakes
Awesome video in depth guide but not to long. This was perfect for a reference as I was working on the brakes
Using silicone paste and copper grease. Better than using normal grease that ruin the rubber parts. Good job.
Great video, Very self explanatory and detailed too. Good work
Thank you for answering why my brakes are squeaking after new rotors and pads. I forgot to put anti-seize on the slider plates - so I’m guessing the pads are not releasing from the rotor causing constant contact and subsequent noise.
Yes moving parts should have lubrication on it
Thank you Mr. Ranger going to switch out my brakes soon on my 2015 Civic. I feel confident now.
I got the same ride, ex-l. lmk how it went!
September 2021... thanks I needed this. It really helped. Blessings.
Thanks for this, both sides done in 40 mins. Thumbs up!
Great I repeat great video. You just saved me 400 plus dollars.
Awesome video.
No words needed to get point across.
Hi, maybe you can watch my video! Open up a new idea!

Thanks for the video. It helped me decide to do my 2012 Honda Civic EX Sedan myself.
Less is more. Thanks! Silence is golden😎✌️
This is what I need ....thanks 👍.
Question, is there a manual I can purchase to learn how to do other repairs?
You can find official honda shop manuals online
@@MrRangerZr1 where, what website?
@@coreturkoane5570 you can find on amazon/ebay
This was like ASMR. Amazing.
Love the practicality of this video! Thank you so much
Great DIY! I found a cracked rotor while I was down there, good looking. ;)
Wow. Better get it replaced ASAP.
Straight to the point! ❤
Awesome video straight forward👌
holy hell its THAT EASY!?! why the hell have i been paying 300 bucks for this all these years?!
I really like your videos I have honda and acura.. Your work really helps a lot thx :)
nice video.. simple to understand and one can do after watching this.
You are the best professional! Thanks.
So glad it's an open piston not the bolt head ones.
The rear has the bolt head piston.
so on my 2012 civic si 4 door i didn't pay attention to the guide pins and noticed when i was cleaning that the one had a rubber bushing on the end.... i was like uh oh... and then started researching videos to find out what goes where.... and or just to find answers... and i got both some people saying bottom some saying top... some saying it depends on the car.... i see your video and you pull the rubber one from the bottom.... well on my car i chose to check the driver side and see where the rubber bushing pin was and on my 2012 civic si 4 door the rubber bushing was on the top on the driver side... but seeing your video and other peoples videos and reading forums.... im wondering was mine wrong does it need to be on the bottom.... i also saw on 2 videos doing this same job where they removed the rubber bushing from the top.... and then when they reinstalled the rubber bushing pin they reinstalled it into the bottom..... so this as just all been confusing im not sure if for a 2012 honda civic si 4 door front brakes does that rubber tip guide pin go into the top or bottom hole?

I didn't replace anything lol just filmed a DIY video for you guys.
I talked to a Honda technician in Oklahoma recently and he said they do not replace the rotors unless there is an obvious problem with them like grooves. So I am going with that. This is only my 2c.
Excellent video, and great job. Thanks!!!
Best video for breaks, hope I can accomplish
Ravi Pen was this video useful? You did your brake change?
Thanks for the tutorial video! I guess the next vid, interior detailing of your car. 👍🏼
my passenger side front brake won't stop squealing after driving for a while. it's "driving" me nuts.
Poor quality brake rotors/pads check the ones I listed in the description they are quality
Do I have to pressurize the breaks individually? Or should I change pads for both sides and then pressurize them?
Awesome,😍😍😍😍 So nice and clean work....
Gracias amigo por la aportación, cómo siempre un excelente video, saludos
Should I change pads or rotors first? Dumb question but I plan on doing this at some point
Best to replace both

I meant just keep up whatever you're doing maintenance wise. Replace/repair as needed.
Thanks for sharing the video. I just have a question: is it ok to get a little anti seize paste on the surface of pads? thanks
Almost impossible to clean it off if you get it on the pad surface lol
Just wipe it off the best you can, don't use any cleaners.
Great video, I have only one comment, you should never reuse the brake pad clips. New ones are given for a reason.
Yes you're correct. New pads come with new hardware, use them. I didn't have new clips when I filmed this video.
Thank you for the video!
If I can do it anybody can do it!
How bro I just replaced my brake pads, no problems at all except the front passenger side squeaks and squeaks a bit. Any idea what it could be?
What brand pads did you put on? You should resurface or replace the rotor when changing the pads.
Did you use aftermarket metal clips?
What’s the can of spray that was used? Sorry if I missed it.
Brake parts cleaner
When do you change the rotors?
I bought a 2015 Honda civic and brakes are squealing should I just change everything?
Yes change everything
When pushing the piston back in should the brake fluid resovior be open?
Good idea to open it, don't leave it open for too long though. Watch the brake fluid level as your compressing the piston.
How is that piece from the caliper when putting in the pads not moving around
The spring? Notice how I reinstall the caliper.
Why didn't you replace the pads? They look almost worn out, no? Thank you for the video!
Roman Pushkar didn’t need to replace them at the time. I just recorded a video for you folks :)
@@MrRangerZr1 Great job man, I appreciate what you've done.
I know it's probably a good idea but do I really need silicone and anti seize paste?
Yes
6:05 What are you doing here? What is the purpose? Thanks. Great vid.
Todd S. Compressing the caliper to fit the new pads in :)
When doing front and back. Do I pump the brake pedal after the front is done or when front and the rear is completed? Please help . New at this
Just before you put the car in gear after finishing the job.
nice video but did you install the same brake pads that you took off??
one pad looked thinner than the other one... after saving a lot of money by doing the brake job yourself isn't it a good idea to install brand new brake pads??
I just filmed a video for you guys my pads were fine
Between the standard Civic and the Si is there any difference in the brake system? Does not seem like it at first glance but I've seen parts listing differ from thE LX EX to the Si
Slight differences
Qual e o toque de aperto do parafuso que você apertou com o torquímetro.obrigado!!
Listed in description
mechanic told me it cost $400 to replace rotors... is it worth I do it myself?
Yes easy job as you seen in the video
What if I don't have that special tool to retract the break piston? That's where I'm stuck at
You need that
great video, and thanks for the links
