- Wasup guys its PK,
So today we visit VCD racing with Louis and shows us how to install brake pads and rotors on my Civic Type R. Pretty straight forward like an old car, only difference is with a fk8 similar to some german cars needs to be in maintenance mode.
Overall no complaints with the reat rotors and pads. Once I install the front we will truly know the comparison compared to OEM.

Excellent video, great job 👍
Glad u enjoyed
So how do I disengage the parking brake/retract the pistons in order for the pads to slide in and out?
Once into maintenance mode, you program it to retract.
@@maganamfg how can we process in this step? Any obd scanner will does the job or do we need a special device to do it?
@@shenray337 to go into maintenance mode need An ob2 reader. Seen some online for $30-$50. I won’t say which brand as I only done it with the snap on ob2 reader. I do plan to buy one to test out myself once I do need to do rear again.
@@maganamfg I seen some other TH-camr simply put the car in accessory mode. Disengage the parking brake put in gear or reverse and turn off car again. Did his brake job put car back in accessory mode turned on electronic brake and he was good to go
I just destroyed my drivers side rear brake piston. You can skip the maintenance mode thing, by grabbing the piston with a pair of pliers, or Honda's piston tool. rotate the piston clockwise until it stops, then you can compress the piston like normal old brakes. Expensive mistake on my part.
Rip….. I’m sorry man
@@maganamfg that's what happens when you start a business and stop working on stuff for 10 years, and the world passes you by. lol
@@benshrope5707 lol definitely I try to tackle jobs myself after watching multiple videos first. I hope this video helped you man! Btw this is for fk8 only. Other 10thgen civics is the same way with old school way pushing piston
Thats good content
Thanks man
I just turn the car off and put it on gear without engaging the brake and changed my pads … didn’t use maintenance mode 🤷🏽♂️
Many have done this way, but a risk of damaging your caliper system.
@@maganamfg dang guess I got lucky
@@josep2161 oh wow, how many times have you changed your brakes this way? I ask becuz I am going to risk it
@@mybloodtype_r just once …. Recently took it to a shop to get them done because I upgraded rotors and they did it the other way
@@josep2161 got it yeah might as well have them do it if they doing rotors…keeping it 💯 holidays coming so gonna go the doing it myself route and do like you did.
🧐
Thanks for the info!
Any time!
What if you don’t have a scanner? Or money at the moment to get one? Any other way around it?
Sorry bro but this is the way. Maintenance is part of buying a performance car and should be considered when buying any new car. Especially with all news cars having so much tech.
What is the part immediately behind the rotor? The thing holding the screws?
Calipers, caliper bracket?
What were the pads?
R1 optimum OEP Series
What’s the bolt size to push the stuck rotor out?
should be a p3 screw driver
You ever do the front rotors and pads ? Also what are the part numbers ?
Hello yes I did the front rotors and pads. Very easy. Need to remove these 2 pins covering the brakes. After you push the calipers back in and replace the pads with the new ones in place. Install the 2 pins back. Remove the caliper bolts from the back to remove the caliper. Take off the one screw holding the rotor and all pops off. All this is similarly older civics except you now have to remove the 2 pins to access the pads. I contacted R1 concepts via email and they shipped the parts. Sorry I did not get part number pictures.
You don’t gotta torque the rotor bolt? Just hammer it in?
Pretty much, with rim on it won’t fly off lol
What if you don’t have a scanner for maintance mode
You need a scanner, or a obd2 Bluetooth scanner for like $30-$40. Intention using putting it into maintenance mode
Do you have to bleed brakes when u do this??
No do you not, when you do this job you do not open the brake fluid system or require brake fluid swap. (Recommend to follow manual on brake fluid job.)
@@maganamfg thankyou for clearing up my concern!
Rear brake rotor looked awesome over the stock. You should change the front brake rotor when a chance. Great job by him worked on your Type R!
If I can’t do something myself usually go with the bro Louis 🙏
@@maganamfg 👍
What’s the name of the scanner you use?
He used a snap on maintenance scanner
@@maganamfg
Thks
what is the screw used to push the rotor out?
It’s a impact screw so you can hammer it abs twist
@@maganamfg But what size? i.e. is it a M5 thread or...?
@@madmage2676 #3 screw driver.
M8.
