2003-2007 HONDA ACCORD EX HOW TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE PADS - EASY DIY

amzn.to/2TaZ92d - Caliper Wind Back Tool used in the Video
Just a quick video showing how I replaced the rear brake pads on a 2007 Honda Accord EX. This was on a 4 cylinder model, but would be the same for the v6.
This would also be the same or very similar for different years of Accord as long as they are equipped with rear brake pads & rotors as opposed to the Rear Drum style brakes and shoes.

Thanks for posting this video and for getting right to the job instead of 3 or 4 minutes blabbing to the camera with a selfie stick.

[@dannymcneal]

I’ll be doing this tomorrow morning, and your video was SUPER simple to follow and understand. Thanks!!

[@Pantechnicon]

Thanks for posting this perfect set of instructions. Got my son and I through doing this on his car with no trouble.

[@mtsflorida]

It's was a good video, thank you. Probably one of the best. I just wanted to add that the piston compression tool you used is also meant to use a wrench to hold the pressure so that you won't have to keep turning it back to tighten. I see the problem is how to hold it in place. Well without a third hand you would have to wedge the wrench into part of the suspension or frame. They really need another added tool that can specifically do that to the very assembly you're working on.

[@geoff4705]

Super-helpful. Very clear, well-paced. Many thanks!

[@geraldnorman7936]

That was very nice. I enjoyed watching the video. I think I can do it now. Thank you.

[@joehyundaitech7961]

you did a fine job the only thing I would like to add is I like to open the bleeder screw to bleed out the old brake fluid instead of pushing it back up into the master cylinder I have an old water bottle with aquarium tubbing that I use I think you know how it works anyway if you do it like this bleeding the brakes should be done afterwords and don't forget to pump the brake pedal at the end of the job also I would have cleaned the rotor off real well on both sides but that is just me

[@carlosrival6213]

easy to understand, also all parts needed

[@landshass2849]

Note: this video applies to EX models only. The other Honda Accord trims that come with plastic wheel covers such as LX and VP are totally different and more difficult to deal with, they come with rear break drums. I never touched any drum breaks in my life, it's a hassle.

[@DantheFixitMan]

Yes, you are correct, the brake shoes/drums are much more difficult than the pads/rotors. I will note in the description that it was an EX model. Thanks for the heads up about that. Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@uhjk91]

Great work!

[@markgallello6982]

Great video!!!

[@beast11135]

Wow. Never thought about using that method. I used the cube that you mentioned and that was a pain. It took longer then I think Ot should take. Guess I know what tool I'm buying next lol

[@creedwesson5652]

i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me.

[@beast11135]

@@creedwesson5652 that's very random. You can recover passwords with your email. Should be easy.

[@garrettbowen5649]

@Creed Wesson instablaster ;)

[@creedwesson5652]

@Garrett Bowen i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@creedwesson5652]

@Garrett Bowen it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@SonnyNight21]

Thank you so very much.

[@user-rn2xo3nz4h]

Thank you for excellent video and clear instructions. I replaced the rear pads on the one side but I’m having trouble with the other side because the calliper bolts are seized and I’m afraid of stripping the heads. Do you have any ideas? Do you know the size and thread if I need replacement bolts?

[@zacharywhittamore4808]

Hell yeah thanks for the video man!!!

[@MrVARhythm]

You forgot the part where every single fucking bolt is rusted / corroded to the point where a socket set won't remove it, so you have to spend 3 hrs removing one of them.

[@lui_47]

I loved the video

[@oonojoe]

Well Done Sir.

[@kennethdouglas722]

Very informative, Thanks

[@jacksonsautodetailing1012]

Excellent 👍

[@mikewood5473]

thanks bro

[@peterpaul666]

helpful

[@uncivil9133]

Hi, we’re there pins between the rotor and pad separating them, or are the rear pads always in contact with the rotor?

[@MakeItHappen223]

I had took out that spring that sits in the bracket how can I put it back in? And is it necessary? I thought the caliper wouldn’t fit because of it but my guiding pins were seized

[@kylewilson1022]

Is there a trick to getting that top clip in? Having the hardest time with it

[@whatdadogdoin7531]

Do you have a video on the rear rotor change??

[@DantheFixitMan]

Sorry, I only have the pads on this one. It's not very difficult though to change the rotors as well. You can browse through my channel videos and watch how to change the rotors on a few other honda vehicles as it would be very similar. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@Charlies_Corner]

Like what you did except one thing, you did what’s called a pad slap, very dangerous because the two surfaces don’t have any grip and causes your stopping distance to increase a lot. At the least you need to have your rotors turned either with a brake lathe or a 80 grit Roloc disc in a drill. Otherwise great video

[@mikewilliams1993]

When you push the caliper piston back in do you need to unscrew the bleeder screw

[@DantheFixitMan]

Hi Mike, Great question. You can do it that way if you'd like. I usually don't open the bleeder screw unless the fluid is old and dirty and needs to be changed. Some of my friends always open the bleeder screw and top off the fluid when they're done as a way of changing the fluid regularly. If you do open the bleeder screw, you run the risk of getting some air into the system which would need to be bled out. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@larrycooper7336]

What is the name of the tool kit?

[@DantheFixitMan]

I think it’s just called a caliper wind back tool. There’s a link in the description to it. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@saiyan3676]

I thought rear brakes were shoes

[@DantheFixitMan]

Hi Saiyan, In the EX Model, it has brake pads. The LX models of Honda Accord has rear brake shoes. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@Youtubelacksfreespeach]

Thanks man! Very informative!
