The V-clip appears to bend at its top and bottom so it's snug with the caliper body; isn't that an installation trick as well? And what about the hardware clips that the calipers bit on?

Thank You for the tutorial. I have to do this job for a friend of the family, and like to know what I'm getting into regarding any proprietary nuances some mfg's may have before tearing anything apart. This one looks pretty standard, and thank you for including the torque values!
There is one to be aware of. The version built in Japan has different rear calipers from the versions built in the USA and Mexico. This is why many parts companies will ask for your VIN. The first digit of a vehicle made in Japan is "J." For the USA it is "1." Mexico is "3."
I usually buy new brake hoses when I buy new calipers, or buy new brake calipers when I need new brake hoses. A sticky caliper will overheat and may damage the brake hose. A brake hose that does not drain back may make the caliper stick, then overheat the caliper. Other times road salt has made the old brake hose fittings rusty and easy to damage during removal. 13:51 I find that it doesn't work so well if air entered the system. Having someone press the pedal and compress the air is far more effective. Sometimes it is the only thing that is effective. Maybe a pressure tank that attaches to the master cylinder is an option. Those bottle brake bleed devices are great when you only need to replace brake fluid for maintenence. 15:57 If you go that far, it's worth it to replace all the brake fluid. Old brake fluid becomes corrosive. You don't want that when you try to get the most out of your new brake parts.
Ive been struggling couple days with spongy brake pedal, before I found I mixed up with sides of my rear calipers. Here is the very easy tip when you buy calipers in pairs and install yourself - MAKE SURE BLEED VALVE IS AT THE TOP.
SHC yes you can - removing the caliper and bracket separate is just the proper way to do it - you can take the whole thing off if your replacing the caliper
Wouldn't it be easier to loosen the brake line hose from the caliper while it's still on the bracket as opposed to doing it off the bracket with a pry bar to hold it in place?
can you tell me which side pin goes where i got Honda CRV 2004 and noticed my pins are mixed up there are different one of them is round and smooth the other pin is with three lengthways flats on it , i was told every CRV model have them in different position depend on the year , also some of the rear aftermarket pins in the package they are with the tree flats ( mine were one flat and one circle pin ) i hope that makes sense and you can help me thanks !
"excluding japan", "fit japan" I wonder what the difference between the two products is. I searched and found that the bolt specification of the caliper mount bracket is different, is the caliper part the same? I asked several places, but none of the sellers gave me a clear answer. What's the difference?
Footage no copper rings smoosh perfectly, making a much better seal than steal lock washers. Torque properly and you’ll have no problem with it loosening up

Ronald Morgan the peddle feel will be high and solid. If there is air in the system, (air collapses much more than fluid) the peddle will push all the way to the floor/spongy break feel.
@@joelp8764 That makes no sense. More pressure on passenger side, should cause more wear on that side. Road crown is so subtle in most places that the difference would be minimal. Much less than the weight of the driver! And most cars have a single occupant very often; if two, chances are the passenger is a young kid. In addition there is more weight from the steering mechanism and pedals, plus most cars have the battery on the driver side, too!
Maybe also flushing out the old brake fluid on all four corners as the fluid in the lines look discoloured and may have picked up moisture during its life... Anyhow great Upload... as it shows to bleed a Caliper getting Air from same...

Pretty damn helpful. I need to do this for my rear passenger side, caliper is cracked... that torque wrench looks like it comes in handy.

You skipped past the only section Im here for. What's the best way to get that over guide on the caliper?? Real pain.
I recommend watching this video! Very well done.

On the new calipers you sell do you need to lubricate the slide pins?
my caliper slide pin bolts are striped. Can I just take the whole caliper off from the bracket ? Great video and 1A Auto is one of the best....thanks

Great video, saved me alot of money. Appreciate it!
Would this be the same for a front caliper????
8:08 Boo, where's the part where you did the trickiest step with that lame V shapped clip on the top that doesnt fit.
Very helpful video. However, do you ship items to Nigeria or do you have a dealer here in Nigeria where we can get your auto parts?
When you change one caliper do you have to replace the other one ?
Excellent tutorial.
How to get right and left crv honda 2001 caliper and housing to ship to trinidad port of Spain and price thank you
great video. What's the lifespan of a caliper on these CRV's? I just had one fail (130K miles) thinking of just replace all four to be safe
Is the 2012 any different than the 2011? Want to buy your rear set but it says 2011
Good work, thanks guys!
Excellent job brother thanks God-bless
What is that bolt below the bleeder? Is it supposed to be loose?
it should be tight. The same caliper is used on both driver vs pass side. The caliper is just flipped and the bolt moved to the bottom hole.
Can you remove the dust shield?
I recently changed my rear rotor and brake pads. Now my foot parking brake doesn't hold the car. How do you adjust it?

How do you know how much to torque those to?
Factory settings info is available online
Thanks man👍👍👍
Should you use thread locker?

What is he using to lubricate the brakes?
Use a tire valve stem to temporarily block the brake hose. You can remove the brake line while the caliper is still attached, then.
+Danny Monk Thank you for your feedback!
Whoa didn't think of that.
Danny Monk Does that work if I am replacing the brake hose too? I wanted to block the top from dripping as well?
Good vid.helped me out doing mine.

1A Auto Parts I have a Hybrid 2010, can I do a caliper replacement by myself ??
how do you know if you bleeded the brakes right
Ronald Morgan the peddle feel will be high and solid. If there is air in the system, (air collapses much more than fluid) the peddle will push all the way to the floor/spongy break feel.
+Joel P Thanks for the feedback!
Is this process the same for the front I have to replace the front passenger side on mine?
+Christopher Karedis The installation process should be very similar for your vehicle.
Drivers side rear always fails why is that
Maxwell Bloomfield road crown, right rear tends to wear a bit faster. Car leans, more pressure on passenger side of vehicle
@@joelp8764 That makes no sense. More pressure on passenger side, should cause more wear on that side. Road crown is so subtle in most places that the difference would be minimal.
