10th Gen Honda Civic Rear Brake Pad Replacement - How to Remove Electronic e-Brake

[@allsaints9123]

Pumping brakes is the first step to recalibration . Also Don't forget to set your parking brake a few times to recalibrate your parking brake piston, before actually starting up to test your brakes on a short range. ( 2018 Civic Sport ) 😎 Great video!!

[@JamesFixIt]

Excellent point, regarding pumping brakes as the first step to recalibration 👏🏽

Didn’t need anti cease for the threaded part of pin ?

[@JamesFixIt]

I haven't had a problem, but I can see that making removal easier in the future.

[@imdarwinsosa1879]

Hey man thanks for the video I know you didn’t change the rotors but do you know how much you need torque down the 17mm bolts holding the bracket?

[@darthetnadr2774]

Rear bracket to the knuckle 80 ft lbs

[@darthetnadr2774]

And then the caliper to the bracket is 18 ft lbs

Did you ever figure out why your pads were wearing out so unevenly? Mine are doing the same thing on my 2020 Honda Civic

[@JustsomebodyWatchingurvids]

My guess would be an inadequate caliper that's not working like it should, or the retention springs are binding. Causing the pads to stay more, or less, against the rotor, wearing the pads down faster. Generally the front wear faster than the rear, so they may be a little more worn down, but they should look about the same. Front pads should look about the same on each side, and rear pads should look about the same on each side. As always, work your way up from replacing the cheapest part first.

[@JamesFixIt]

My best assumption would be dry slider pins. I realized later just how dry they were on the passenger side; so after the caliper compresses, the seized pins do not let it retract and center, causing drag on the outer pad.

@@JamesFixIt were you getting squealing? I’m having an issue where my passenger-rear keeps glazing really bad, causing squealing at low speeds and while turning even while brakes not engaged. It’s kind of intermittent and seems to occur after brakes are warm. Pins don’t look damaged and I definitely grease them well. I don’t think the hose is damaged. I’ve used two different pads (duramax and Napa), but they’ve both been semi-metallic. My next step is either akebono or oem. Do you think material is the issue? Mine is a 22 with 80k and I’m at a loss. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks man!

Same procedure rear electronic break for 2020 honda civic hatchback? Thanks

[@MichaelPlastow]

I think it's because the car has active breaking round corners so over time you do more left or right bends at speed wearing down the pads more one side. Round a bouts also the same as it's always the same direction.

[@samhorgan6777]

Mine was down to the metal for the inner shoe it’s an absolute struggle and grunt to get off

[@JamesFixIt]

Oh man! Yah it is definitely a struggle. I miss Hondas of the 90’s!

[@krakralca87]

Very nice and useful video. Thank You Man 😊 I'm gonna do my brakes next week. Btw. I noticed that your brake cylinder wasn't pushed all the way in 11.15 and you cut the wideo probably used another tool and in 11.17 is flushed 😅 AHH that attention to detail. But anyway great video 👍🏻 Just being curious. Have you got 1.5 T motor?

[@JamesFixIt]

Ah yes, I must have clipped that part out. Nice catch! And yes, this is the 1.5t. Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@krakralca87]

@@JamesFixIt i would like to ask You how many miles is on the clock. And if you had any issues with that car for example oil dilution, a.c condenser or something else?

[@JamesFixIt]

@@krakralca87 I'm at 70K, no problems with Oil dilution, but the AC has gone out twice. After the second replacement by Honda (under the recall) it's been perfect. I do need to go in for the Fuel Pump recall, but haven't had any issues with it. How about you?

[@420kushmaster]

Great info Thanks for the help

[@chriszanetti2619]

Dude iv been looking for hours if I lost them or they fall off but thank you I didn't know where the shims went or clips whay ever there called my front brakes have them but not the front even autozone was like I don't think they have them

[@Ramandeepsingh-vz7kf]

any damage for caliper? or not?

[@JamesFixIt]

No damage to the caliper, just needed a thorough clean and full re-lube for the slider pins.

[@Securitytips909]

I can’t get the little wire off 😂 I broke the clip thing too.

[@JamesFixIt]

After I did this again (to install new Rotors) the clip broke on the driver’s side LOL. Hate this new stuff, but we got to live with it 😫😫😫

[@luissotelo1371]

Do I need to put my e brake on service mode?

[@JamesFixIt]

I was able to do this without using service mode.

[@protoman247]

yes you need to put it in brake service mode using a scan tool. however, honda does have specific instructions on how to do that manually. you will need a 5mm hex and an E11 etorx socket. you will need to remove the epb actuator using the 5mm hex key. then you will see a plastic spindle. use the e11 socket to spin the spindle clockwise. re attach the actuator to the caliper body. then you can simply compress the piston without rotating the piston. the manual says to simply compress it (same like compressing the front caliper pistons).

[@sergeyparshin8682]

@@protoman247I don’t see him doing it in the video. Or have I missed it?

[@protoman247]

@@sergeyparshin8682at 8:40 he manually compresses the piston with a piston compression tool. This was the old way of doing rear disc brakes on Hondas. However some owners have mentioned that this can harm the brake actuator. Honda has a their own method for manually retracting the parking actuator. This involves removing it, and spinning it back in with the e11 torx socket.
