In this video I show how to replace the rear brake caliper on the Honda civic type R EP3, including brake pads and discs. Tool for winding in the caliper link, amzn.to/2YvYNo8
thank you so much for this - my n/s/r calliper has been sticking for a while, and its finally got to the point where i can't put it off any longer - this video couldn't be more perfect right now! cheers :-)
Super handy walkthrough guide! I just used it to change the caliper on my EP2. very clear camera work and guidance, no weird auto focus shifts where you can't see anything because you're clearly using a decent camera and not a phone. I would say for anyone doing the same change. there is a bolt on the other side of the disc shield (just out of the camera shot) that holds the hand brake cable in place and when removed provides enough slack to dis/re-engage the hand brake cable.
Straight into the job without needless preamble. Steady cam with good lighting. Clear narrative with bolt and spanner sizes included. Could have included the torque values for refitting and I would not have used the hardened metal teeth of mole grips on the brake pipe when soft surface pipe pinching clamps are available at low cost. Other than that, great video, and many thanks for your efforts in making it.
Great video il be doing mine at the weekend I’ve been told only to fill the brake fluid between the max and min mark and not to the max is that correct? Thanks
The reason being if you fill it to the max then replace worn brake pads the fluid will rise in the tank and could over spill. if you have newish brake pads all round fill it to the max, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Good video, did this job today before I saw you video but your video is really informative. I have one question, my handbrake mechanism spring on the caliper is not flicking back to its down position smoothly. Is there anything I can do to make it smoother or can I get a new spring without a full caliper change? Thanks in advance. 👍
Your lever on the calliper is sticking, lubricate and work it with grips, can take 5 mins but it should free off eventually, if it doesn't new calliper needed, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I have an EP2 Sport 1.6L, I don't suppose you know if this is near enough the same procedure. I am sure I have heard that the ep3 type R brakes will fit the ep2 but not too sure. Any help would be awesome 👌
Awesome video buddy, just some questions .. do you recommend-using a torque wrench to do the caliper pin bolts as read they don’t need much tightening ? Also I’m going to replace all 4 callipers and refurb the old ones , should I flush the brake fluid with the old calipers on first then fit the new ones and fill up the master cylinder then bleed them ? Also I took both calliper slider pin bolts off and the caliper is stuck ? Crowbar time maybe 😂 Btw I subbed to your channel , keep up the good work 👊
Great stuff, I prefer the feel of a ratchet when doing up these bolts, drain down the master cylinder, fill with clean fluid, remove old callipers and bleed through, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
the inner pad with the little pin should fit into the slot on the capiler piston, but if the caliper piston is going counter clockwise when pressing the brake pedal- how it will turn? the brake pad cant turn.. im confused
The piston only rotates when you wind it back in, when it comes out it does not rotate, its to do with the hand brake mechanism and self adjuster inside the calliper, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 I saw rebuild caliper like that, and he just turn the piston counter clockwise to take the piston out... Are you sure it doesnt rotate when it comes out by pressing thr pedal?

Glad it helped! Thanks Jordan for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Went to change my discs and pads and noticed I had a seized caliper. Your video helped loads. Many thanks 🙏🏼

Some have drum brakes on the rear, possible you have discs, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi
Good vid.
What wrench is that looks like handy piece of kit?
is it the Milwaukee Ratchet, link is amzn.to/39ZsEdF, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi buddy, great video 🙂.....did you order online and have the calipers delivered to you and did you exchange old ones in-store or post them off?
you can get them on amazon £45 Link is amzn.to/3gJiti0 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Best 🔥

@@aaanton11 Thanks mate , you still got the EP3 😀
What's the procedure to rectify the handbrake mechanism if you didn't pump the brake before applying the handbrake?
panic, 😂 if the lever has moved too far it will not return, the calliper might need dismantling. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
So just don’t pull the handbrake when it’s disconnected and you should be ok?
Hondas tend to have issues at MOT time for rear handbrake not being effective enough. Any experience of this?
usually its always a stiff caliper, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
do you leave the brake fliud housing lid off when bleeding brakes
Yes then top us as required, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Is the bleeder valve a 10mm? And do you need a flare wrench?
any 10mm will do, even a deep socket is nice to crack it off if its tight, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
What Milwaukee rachet is that? Looks a good tool
I did a video on it th-cam.com/video/exZgvVJUD3c/w-d-xo.html , also have a link to the ratchet amzn.to/2rTLBNj Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Where can I get calipers for these in the US
amazon amzn.to/2YacEk8 just input vehicle details to be sure of fitment Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hey what wing is that you got on there I want it for my ep3
its all standard stuff no mods, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
How you get it tho
How long did this take you in total?
about an hour, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
2:00 what a bunch of bollocks matey, broken off at least 3 bolts related to the braking system on my EP3
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
