The slide pins (the accordion rubber covered 'nuts') must be removed, buffed, grease removed and grease applied (not too much or the pin will not go back in ... no space left). The rubber covers must be replaced. If they are torn, or in anything other than perfect shape, water will enter the slide area and the pin will corrode and eventually not slide effortlessly. If the pin binds even a little, the brake pad will not slide and your brakes will wear quickly.

[@JamarLackson410]

Thank you its been about 4 years since i acually did my own brakes this was a great refresher

[@ranmas2004]

Nice vid! I also remove the sliding pins and regrease those as well.....

[@BillMcGirr]

I mentioned that as well… Good stuff. Just in case there is grit or wear. Solid point.👍💪🥃

[@Raycgar]

Excellent video, thanks. Might want to remind the absent-minded that the master cylinder cap needs to be screwed back on -- I've actually experienced a mechanic forget to do that.

[@BillMcGirr]

No way? That’s unbelievable and disturbing. I understand mistakes happen… but…🤷‍♂️👍🥃

[@anx1300c]

Umm, you forgot to tell people to put the cap back on the master. Do you really want people jumping in and pumping the brake pedal with the cap still off?

[@fusionconroe]

Dude you are a LIFESAVER. Thank you so much! Just did the rear pads, they were a bit different than the front ones so I was a little unsure. Thanks.

[@CarsNToys]

Alex Taylor Good stuff man. Glad to help out

[@youknowit5885]

Just saved a bunch of money on my car repairs by searching KZbin.

[@Chief6067]

Plus.......you needed to put anti seize compound on your caliper bolts

[@pvang82]

You forgot to check the caliper slide pins and regrease them too

[@SwisherXL]

u 4 got to lube the lower and upper pins!!

[@jayhockley8841]

Nice informative video . Thanks for NOT using some ridiculous music in the background .

[@CarsNToys]

Glad you liked it!

[@lucastheproducer995]

Why did you open brake master cylinder cap ? Did you do a break fluid change ?

[@jayhockley8841]

it allows the caliper to be compressed , back in by allowing the brake fluid to go back in the master cylinder . Just be sure and re check the brake fluid level ( in the Master Cylinder ) and put the cap back on . ( he forgot to mention this in the video )

[@Chief6067]

Over greased everything bro, sorry to say it but you don't need that much

[@BillMcGirr]

Love this video. Very helpful. But you respectfully should have greased the slide pins and perhaps their boots. Not being a d’bag… But important information. Good stuff.👍💪🥃

[@anthonyderosa2248]

Thanks so much for posting this! I'm going to change the rear pads on my 2006 TL tomorrow morning, and this video clip helped me plan my steps. Thanks again!

[@CarsNToys]

Thanks for the kind words, Omer. The tie rods are quite easy to change. The main thing is getting an alignment after the repair. I'll try to get that video up soon for you. Cheers

[@itsallrobbish]

Seems straightforward (says I!) I might just give a shot. Good video, well explained.

[@kfm908]

what do you do when the 12mil socket strips the head of the bolt.I tried everything .wd40,Heat, pounding on an 11 mil socket, vice grips .Now the bolt head is round.Why would they use such small bolts?

[@joserodriguez-qf5io]

You don't have to bleed it.

[@sammyv9167]

No unless you get air in em, like if you remove a caliper

[@MJ2gether4ever]

im impressed how well you were able to put the camera inside the chassis of the car.. great video man! As a fellow TL owner I am thankful to be shown how easy it was.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help man. Cheers

[@CarsNToys]

Thanks, Ray. That's a good tip. Cheers

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help, Anthony. cheers

[@ahsm]

Why do you need to open the brake fluid reservoir? I was watching another video and the guy just pumped the brake pedal a few times and said you don't need to bleed the brakes after. Thanks and good video

[@CarsNToys]

+Ahsm There's no need to bleed the brakes because air has not entered the brake system. It's a habit of mine to remove the cap to the master cylinder when pressing the cylinder back into the caliper. I don't want excess pressure to build up.

[@ahsm]

CarsNToys Ok thanks for your reply. I am doing this next week, found front and rear rotors and pads for $370 CAD after tax, not bad.

[@CarsNToys]

+Ahsm Awesome. If you get stuck trying to remove the front rotor screws this will help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSlap1oes2apbM

[@ahsm]

+CarsNToys Thank you bro

[@j517R]

You should never tighten lug nuts in order like you did there. 5 lugs should always be tightened in a star pattern as a safety precaution.

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you

[@jerryhatcher901]

U didn't say at what to put the master cylinder back on cap back on.

[@fredhamilton1701]

Worked great on my 2007 Acura Tl Type-S - thanks!!! I used more generic Super Lube 21030 Synthetic Grease (not the one formulated for brakes), but it's rated for up to 450F and there's no squealing when braking in forward or reverse, so so far, so good.

[@CarsNToys]

Good stuff!

[@JamesTsai]

Great video! I followed it to do my very first brake job successfully and saved a bucketload of cash. Thanks!

[@CarsNToys]

+James Tsai Good stuff man. Cheers

[@dudeman3986]

I like the fact like most people who cares about the rotors

[@bundysgarage]

Nice video but if you have to use a cheater bar on the end of your breaker bar to get the lug nuts off, you are putting the lug nuts on way toooo tight.

[@CarsNToys]

+BundysGarage Thanks, Bundy. I tend to use one because it's easier on my back. Cheers

[@bryanjohnson9139]

Which rotors and pads do you recommend?

[@joemama-hc4gl]

Nice video, now- how do you bed them in??....

[@fresno93703]

Thanks, save me 379.99 from going to Les Swahb lol. 49.99 for tl front brakes and 20 bucks for rear. I did both of this all by myself with your videos. Great job bro!!

[@itsallrobbish]

iTrEG6 that’s what I hope to do. Not sure we get charged as much as you guys, though.

[@udubdave]

Good DIY video, but you should also always tighten your lug nuts in a star pattern.

[@captinbeyond]

One thing I would suggest before you start any work, drive the car and take special attention to how far the brake pedal goes down and how it feels. Maybe even take a video so you have a reference to compare so when you're finished and if the pedal feels squishy/or going down too far, you can have a reference to what it used to be normally and not be second guessing like I'm doing

[@DuyNguyenDobbyDee]

11:05 haha. That's what she said =))

[@hiyapal6819]

You ran your pads to nothing and not doing anything with your Rotors? That's not good.

[@CarsNToys]

Rotors were within specs. Nonetheless you are correct; certainly a good time to replace them if needed.

[@Aholeintheozone]

Pro tip: you can compress the cylinders while the calipers are still on the car by wedging a pry bar or large flathead screwdriver between the rotor and the pads and skip the step with the c clamp.

[@chardtkdog8340]

I got a question for 2008 TL..Are they all four wheel disc brake?

[@svendb7]

Thank you for your video! Successfully replaced the front and back pads yesterday.

[@MrSamuelCaballero]

Question we change all the from and rear brakes but we step on the brake already and we have to press all the way down to brake the car we got brake fluid already but it was full?

[@CarsNToys]

This may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3_OpqR9oLangtk

[@GenXAccord]

I hate to nit pick but I'm going to anyway. You are way to liberal with that grease, if you get any on that pad you will have no brakes. And I'm not sure you really need it on the back of the pads at all, just on the tracks that the pads will run on. And you should also use bearing grease on those main caliper bolts before you put them back in, if you ever want to get them back out that is. And lastly, you tightened your wheel on in the wrong patter. You want to tighten the bolts opposite each other, not in a circle, in this instance it would be a star pattern. Tightening the lug bolts in a circular pattern is a good way to end up with warped rotors.

[@CarsNToys]

I appreciate the feedback. The repair manual recommends grease on the rear of the pad to prevent the caliper piston from sticking. Cheers.

[@ubiased23]

That was very good video, and I appreciate the amount of the detail you have put into the video. I have ones question for you, I see that you have replaced the brake pads but not the rotors. How can you determine if you need to replace the rotors? The mechanics always suggest to replace the rotors along with your brake pads. Is that true?

[@CarsNToys]

Mr.Logic23 If they're uneven, warped or too thin then they'll need replacement. (If the rotor thickness is below 7.5mm then it's a good idea to replace them)

[@fernandoflores1303]

Very helpful. Even if just in planning the steps. I just did both front and rear brake along with rotors. The bolted on rotors were a pain. Had to drill out the counter sunk hardware. What a pain, but the rest was a pretty straight forward.

[@CarsNToys]

+Fernando Flores Yea the Honda rotor screws are notorious for slowing down the project. I recently uploaded a video on how to easily remove the screws - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSlap1oes2apbM

[@JEFF2010SSRS]

Thankyou Much :)

[@CarsNToys]

JEFFREY G DELABRE Welcome

[@joserocha7366]

Good job 100 💯 professional

[@TAG-rq7ii]

Thanks man. Saved me some headache I'm sure.

[@chardtkdog8340]

do you video how to replace the rotor as well?

[@leroysewell3095]

Excellent. You have help me to understand this process better. Thank you.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help.

[@davidmihai8180]

Do you know how to clean or replace the lockup selenoid on a 2008 acura tl base?

[@CarsNToys]

Sorry, Dave. I have yet to perform that specific job on a TL.

[@benice3117]

Just curious why you remove the cover to the master cylinder. I've never do that.

[@CarsNToys]

Prevent pressure build up in the system. Also an old habit of mine. Thanks for the feedback.

[@talkofmiami03]

Can you put up a video showing how to replace engine mounts on a 2006 Acura TL FRONT MOUNT, passenger side mount and the mount by the firewall

[@CarsNToys]

Hi Kevin. Next time I get my hands on a TL I'll take a video for engine mount replacement.

[@nando2537]

You guys need to make more TL videos lol, spark plug changes, interior parts like the stereo or after market add one too but great vid guys

[@CarsNToys]

Will do. Appreciate the feedback.

[@nando2537]

CarsNToys hey guys I have an 04 Acura TL, a couple days ago the car wouldn't start nor even crank. So me and a buddy started messing with it and he did this old trick where you hit the starter with something and that seemed to work... kinda now it's cranking but doesn't turn over what do you guys think it might be?

[@sunnysss2489]

Where did you get the body kit looks better then the aspec

[@CarsNToys]

Ron Jon. The owner purchased the vehicle with the kit already installed.

[@SanJacinto23]

That is not how you tighten lug nuts. should do it in a star pattern. Also you shouldn,t have to touch the master cylinder unless you are opening the brake lines

[@_gamEater_]

Awesome video tutorial, thanks.

[@CarsNToys]

Glad to help man.

[@jimbruner4419]

Great video! Thank you so much!!!

[@CarsNToys]

Rene Botello Not yet but next time the car is in the shop I'll try to get a coolant vid.

[@bundysgarage]

+Rene Botello What specific question(s) do you have about the TL cooling system? You can email me at [e-mail], if you want.

[@onepolarman]

What brand of break pads you use?

[@CarsNToys]

Akebono is very good.

[@onepolarman]

thank you.08

[@CarsNToys]

Phillip Royce Glad to help, Phillip. Cheers

[@TeeDubb]

Perfect explanation. It took less time to do the brake job than it did to find all of the tools in my nightmare of a garage. Thanks!

[@stevenl0207]

Awesome. Very detailed DIY. I wish we had more videos like this for everything in life lol

[@CarsNToys]

stevenl0207 Thanks - glad to help out!

[@elegantstrippers]

[@CarsNToys]

Konstantin Temin Good stuff man

[@frankie11209]

Great looking car and excellent quality of video keep it coming bro plz if u could make a video on how to chk the inner outer tie rod ends and possibly change them on 4th gen maxima Some of my background I am a med student at UB and a little car enthusiast ur videos have helped a lot GOD BLESS U

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

Holy shit I love you man !!!

[@IBANEZJR1]

When do I need to close the master cylinder cap back? Before pumping the brake pedal?

[@CarsNToys]

Once you finished compressing the piston back in the caliper.

[@MegaROMPEDISCOTECAS]

yo where u found that body kit?? please let me know

[@CarsNToys]

Here you go: www.ronjonsportdesign.com/tlkit.html

[@MegaROMPEDISCOTECAS]

CarsNToys thanks👍🏾

[@kenrodbender9603]

Seriously man, thanks for putting this vid up, saved me a ton of time and money doing the brakes on my 07 TL. Subbed!

[@CarsNToys]

Ken Rodbender Awesome man. Glad to help out

[@23JLG23]

Excellent video! Great job!!!

[@CarsNToys]

23JLG23 Thanks good buddy

[@chrismic4835]

Hi, so just a quick question because my buddies and I disagree lol did you bleed the brakes after that or just as you showed and it's oké??

[@CarsNToys]

No need to bleed the brakes. That's only required when air enters the system.

[@johnsteinwand4379]

CarsNToys what are the torque specs on the caliper bolts to the car and the slide pin bolts

[@chrismic4835]

John Steinwand I believe I did 45 but I would google check that, I can't remember anymore man sorry

[@Chief6067]

Whomever torqued your lug nuts down did it way to damn tight for you to need to use a cheater pipe on the end of the already long handle breaker bar 90ft lbs is all you need with a little anti seize on the threads

[@CarsNToys]

+Chief60 Good eye. No idea who torqued them but they were way over torqued.

[@benice3117]

what are the torque specs for the brake bolts?
