Great video Thank You - any tips on losening rusted 19mm caliper bracket bolts? Using breaker bar but still stubborn. Penetrating oil? Heat with small torch? (I don't want to snap them!) Thanks.

Growing up I played way too many sports and avoided learning all the handy man stuff around the house. Now as a 38 year old dad, KZbin has helped me more times than I can count. I have always had help with changing brakes and all that kind of stuff in the past, but honestly never paid attention. Welp, last night I changed my front brakes in my Honda CRV, and your video is definitely to thank. The first brake, took me about two hours and two trips to the store. Both rotor set screws were broken so I had to go get a package of new ones. I watched your video the entire time, pausing so I could catch up ha. The second brake took me about 30 minutes having an idea of what I had to do. I was a little nervous about doing my own brakes but it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be since everyone always complains about doing it. Your video was spot on, and it is going into the saved vault for reference next time. Would recommend to everyone! Thanks again dude!

[@georgeburns8447]

Hands down, the clearest, most complete explanation of changing the front brakes on a CRV. 1a auto is great. This video works for a 2015 CRV (my car) as well.

[@sandwich.entity3810]

Caliper bracket bolts: 101ft/lb or 136nm Caliper bolts: 37ft/lb or 51nm Wheel nuts: 80ft/lb or 110nm

[@darkhelmet4279]

It's worth noting that the Phillips screws that hold the rotor on are NOT standard Phillips head. They are called Japanese industrial standard and using the wrong screwdriver to remove them will likely overtime strip them out. If you work on or own a Japanese vehicle they are well worth the investment!

[@miapapa1955]

You guys have some of the best DIY videos , You save us a lot of money. Thank You.

[@jtrom]

Thank you. Your videos are great. I just replaced the front wheel bearing assembly on my Silverado thanks to your excellent videos. I will be doing the breaks on my CRV soon and you guys give me the confidence and advice I need.

[@unclefreddy2009]

Wait, I’m sure other comments mentioned- you are reusing the pad slides? They come with new ones which you are supposed to use. Awesome video besides that

[@mickbrown815]

I wish you were in Houston I would hire you!! lol your very detailed with your work!!! I feel alot of companies would not be cleaning off the rust and cleaning the parts the way you do!!

[@ronald5728]

Excellent video. Clear video. Very precise instructions.

[@kevhed8]

Another great 1A video...thanks. I've watched many brake job videos and I see some put lube on the brake pad slides/ears and other don't. I always put lube on the brake pad ears with my brake jobs...but why not lube the ears? I noticed you did not. Is that recommended by Honda? Thanks !

[@1AAuto]

+kev hed Thanks for checking us out! Apply lubricant on caliper pins, clips, edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and back side of the brake pads if needed. *Do not apply lube on the friction side of the brake pads.1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@johnrespect4215]

That easy to do it yet these mechanic in my area is asking for arm and leg

[@FlutterSwag]

most people dont have all the tools nor a lift for easy access

[@christmanenvirasami6094]

Wonderful job

[@longnguyen-zu1qe]

❤Thanks will save us 500 US.

[@j.e.christo213]

So 1A Auto, no spring clips used?? Is that an Eastern thing not to replace or use?

[@Jake.Gentry]

How rusted do the break calipers need to be to warrant a new set? Thinking of changing my front ones out on my 2008 Honda CR-V.

[@willfrederickson2131]

It’s best to change them when you change the brakes

[@infesting]

@@willfrederickson2131 Change the calipers when you change brake pads? Are you insane?

[@infesting]

Rust is not a reason to warrant new calipers. If the calipers work and are not leaking then there is ZERO reason to change them out. Rust acts as a protective layer. The parts are designed to rust and the layer of rust protects the part from further corrosion. You will notice its only surface rust which is expected and normal.

[@michaelmorris6575]

Great video as always! Thank you.

[@lenchenette6813]

You forgot to install the last two screws that hold the rotor on as well as re-torquing all four of them!

[@JR-kr1lv]

Thank you, just asking myself why no lube for easy disassemble if needed next time, like basket was pretty tight, if some Anti-seize on, then comes apart easier when needed, also your BRAKES don't come with NEW CLIPS, I also thought you should have stated the wear indicator goes on the inside part of the Rotor. Also brake cleaner on rubber dust boots on slide pins ? That safe for rubber, if so, then should say so and what kind to use, I've never used brake clean on inside like that, just asking because the pro now. I've done many brakes, never on Foreign vehicles, always stayed away after helping a friend a VW, wasn't fun and never again. Also where some rust pointed out on Hub, you wire brushed it, why not put Anti-seize there before rotor going on, making it easy to come off on next BRAKE JOB and on screws so don't rust in tight, then need impact tool screwdriver to get out if lucky, might need to chisel screw by backing It Off with a chisel, for a few bucks, they can be replaced if in stock. Should come with rotors in my opinion. Great video, hopefully my questions can be answered.

[@DiogenesNephew]

Stop making so much sense, broski, you're making everyone look bad.

[@tkking188]

Thanks...very good video 👍👍👍

[@jimm2031]

your link for the kit is for an acura

[@kidbrain1115]

What's the purpose of the screws for the rotor other then to hold the rotor in place?

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

That's pretty much the only purpose. A lot of cars don't even have those screws, the rotors are usually loose. Technically you don't even need those

[@infesting]

They are only used on the production floor when the car is built because the rotors need to stay in place on the assembly line before the calipers are installed. You DO NOT need to put the screws back when doing a brake job. Those screws will seize up and be a bitch to remove in the future so its best to remove them and get rid of the screws.

[@BrianPotterProductions]

Thank you!

how do you replace the brake hose?

[@pasal2128]

Thank you.

[@adamadventure3186]

Lug nuts why is it 280 ft lbs torque just wondering? That’s too much I think, most cars torques between 80 ftlbs to 135ftlbs

[@bullpups4life189]

its hurts to see your bracket bolts come off so easily. mine are ON THERE. im hoping some wd40 can penetrate and get some things moving. my impact driver wont even get them to budge right now.

[@1AAuto]

+bullpups4life Thanks for the feedback!

[@johnbecnel693]

I never push the fluid back into the system. Always bleed it out and pump up, bleed out the air, this flushes the fluid in the lines. That stuff is water attracting, needs to be purged out. If it’s been a long time since the last brake job, start by draining (siphoning or use a turkey baster) and replacing the master cylinder fluid first so you don’t just send all of that old fluid down the lines.

[@1AAuto]

+John Becnel Thank you for the tips and for watching!

[@infesting]

Thats great but its not needed and most people are looking for the least expensive option when changing brakes. majority of people live paycheck to paycheck in america and added unnessesary steps added to a brake job will just add unnessesary cost the bill.

No grease on the pad tips or sliders?

[@1AAuto]

+2Stroke Lover Thanks for checking us out! You most certainly can add some grease when installing the pads however its not required. 1aauto.com

[@scottbusinessconsultingllc6133]

Do you have any 2006 bmw 525i videos available

[@1AAuto]

+Scott Business Consulting LLC Yes we do have some videos that will apply to a 2006 BMW 525i. Here is a link to them: www.1aauto.com/search/videos?year=2006&model=987&videoSearchType=ymm

[@scottbusinessconsultingllc6133]

1A Auto Parts there wasn’t any bmw videos. Toyota’s n Jetta videos came up...and when I searched parts it gave me other selections then what I was looking for.

[@dianehowes2632]

Brendon ka enough

[@SuperJulito18]

Never use same hardware, everything must be cleaned like new ! never use paper to clean caliper pin and housing.

[@infesting]

Your technically correct but using new hardware is only recommended to prevent people from using a bolt with rust on it and m essing up the threads. As long as you pay attention and clean your parts there is no reason you cant reuse hardware. They are trying to sell you new hardware there is new reason you need new hardware.

[@aWOLtrooper]

Fine video, but christ- 25 minutes? Could have used a bit more editing like some of the other videos.

[@imadpola6782]

It's 17 mm

[@leonardstamand5920]

Bungee Cord, not "chord", as shown in the tool list.

[@filbaytee1118]

I had to stop watching this. The video went on way too long scrubbing rust off everything. I live where there's no rust
