The video was excellent as noted prior. Did the caliper replacements yesterday and went off smoothly. One thing I did a little different was i unloosened the brake line nut then snugged it back up.Removed caliper and wired it up out of the way. When I got new bracket and caliper on, I had new bolt/crush rings ready, then unloosen quick cleaned connections and secured it to new caliper in seconds with only a few drips coming out. Seemed to make the bleeding go faster. Thanks again for the high quality instructional video!

hi, great video, wondering what is the use of aligning caliper piston groove to the brake pins. Is there a reason behind this and if it is not aligned what is the cause for that. can u pls advise. Another question, on power steering, if there is a sound coming from power sttering pump (whining), and if there is a leak in hose(very minimal), can that leak cause whining sound in pump (assumng i have enough fluid in pump). otherwords, will a small leak in hose cause power steering to whine..even though pump have enough fluid.
@piercedasian4 жыл бұрын
The pin on the pad MUST line up with the groove in the piston otherwise you will get erratic and uneven braking performance. The pin is there to prevent the piston from rotating back into the piston bore. This is because Honda uses the brake pads for the parking brake vs. other designs of disc brakes that use a set of pads for hydraulic braking and a set of brake shoes for the parking brake. Using this method by Honda simplifies the rear parking brake system design busy using less components in an ingenious setup. If you have ever replaced rear pads on many Honda’s that in order for you to retract the piston that you must turn the piston into the bore vs. using a clamp to which the piston cup back in. Again this is due to the design of the parking brake system. Very important to not screw this up and make sure the pin is in the groove.

@piercedasian4 жыл бұрын
The power steering pump whine can be attributed to a leaking hose because air has the potential to get into the system. Honda a while back had a service bulletin for their v6 vehicles and a easy high pressure hose or-ring that supposedly had a tiny leak in it that would cause power steering system to lose power assist. While I haven’t personally seen the leak myself that it was so minute that you would see oil but that the steering would be weak and it would whine. Bottom line is that if you have a leak you should fix it and if the sound goes away then great. I am more inclined to believe the power steering pump could be showing signs of wear and will need to be replaced. Replace the hose first since that is invisibly leaking and if it still Peru’s it’s then change the PS pump out next. Good luck!

Now I had a seized caliper same model but first to verified it was the caliper I loosen the brake hose to see if I had fluid comming out to see if the hose wasn't damage fluid cane out so I loosen brake lines and when I install the new caliper remove brake line and install to new caliper install caliper and then crack bleeder screw to see if brake fluid came out if yes tighten it turn the car on hit the brakes a couple times loosen the bleeder screw if brake fluid comes out you are good to go and don't forget the copper washer for the brake lines
@piercedasian3 жыл бұрын
Interesting technique! I can't say I've ever had issues with failed brake lines. As unscientific as this might sound, I determine if something is seized based on feel when I retract the piston. I just recently did a car where I could even twist the piston back in, while others need a LOT of effort to rotate back in. For push in pistons (ie. the fronts) again I base on feel. If I need a lot of effort to push it back in and the brake pads are wearing out in a weird way then I replace the caliper (in 9/10 cases I've been right). Great tips nonetheless! Thank you for watching :)

I'm surprised you didn't replace your rotors. I thought you were supposed to do this when you changed your pads. Is this correct?
@piercedasian4 жыл бұрын
not necessarily. If the rotors have even wear on them and don't exhibit any obvious signs of run out (essentially chattering during braking) and they're not badly corroded or really thin (it would be quite obvious) that you can reuse the rotors. General rule of thumb is don't use more than 2 sets of pads on a set of rotors.

As long as you haven’t let the fluid level go too low in the reservoir that would allow air into the rest of the braking system that you only need to bleed the corner you’re working on.

Not worth it. The rebuild kit here in Canada from Honda is already $40-60 CAD and I’d have to do the work in the freezing cold plus that doesn’t include new crush washers and bleeder valve. Given the levels of corrosion the old caliper has plus the time component to rebuild and replace that it wasn’t in the customers best interest. Basically the remaned part costs more but the labour is cheap vs. the other way around.
