Thanks for making this video. I did the rear pads on my white 09 Civic today and it went just as you indicated. I did get a different tool for screwing in the pistons.

[@ratsalad346]

Another excellent video. This is going to be useful to me as soon as I wear down them brake pads. Again. Thank you!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate you taking the time to comment, thanks for watching my videos 👍🏼

[@wes326]

Very good pad change video. Must be nice working on rust-free cars. Thanks for sharing.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate it, rust free vehicles are much easier to work on, I have great respect for technicians who have rust buckets come into their shop on a daily basis

[@Dragonista89]

Danny you are killing it with these videos! One more step to be a successful sponsored youtuber! Please make more element videos!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Element videos are definitely coming, thanks for your loyalty 👍🏼

[@fvg3401]

Nice job Danny I to do the same on 2007 Civic coupe EX

[@elgatogordo9523]

Just subscribed! Thank you for your informative video. My son and I will be replacing the front and rear pads for his 08 Civic Si. Hope the Si will be similar R&R…

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks for the sub!

[@etbertram]

Hello, very informative video. I subscribed, and your videos will help me out with my newly acquired 2009 Honda Civic. One question...do the calipers twist in clockwise on both sides. Thanks again

[@str8pipejtv359]

thanks very informative

[@dannysdiygarage]

Glad it was helpful! Appreciate your support

[@PugFaceMusic]

Best video I’ve seen. I didn’t need unbolt cables tho.

[@sorinD72]

A very explicit video. Thank you, I subscribed. Can you please tell me the tightening torques for the caliper brackets, calipers, but also for the aluminum rims? Thank you! 

[@willfreethemfreethem7671]

How do you get that back brake knob back into caliper slot? And whoever did my brakes they put the clips on the on the top Instead of the bottom..

[@algavrilko]

Can you make a video on how to put the handbrake into service mode on a Honda?

[@josegurrola7683]

I wish I saw this video before I did mine, I struggled a bit with the caliper without taking those bolts off

[@dannysdiygarage]

Now you know ❤️👍🏼 thank you for sharing

[@versatilethearcane]

How similar is this to the 09 Civic Si?

[@johnsitar7871]

Nice job again Danny.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks so much 👍🏼 always great hearing from you John

[@scottmagyar]

Another Awesome Video Sir, You ever clean your sunroof drain hoses. thks

[@dannysdiygarage]

I have everything I need to make that video, however life’s challenges have slowed my video production down to a crawl, hopefully I’ll be up and posting more content soon

[@ahmadaburezeq4678]

Hello quick question please .. Should condenser fan run with ac off at normal operating temperature with radiator fan or the radiator fan should run separately

[@ianbella]

What is that little square that you used to compressed? Is it needed for the front as well?

[@dannysdiygarage]

I updated the description and added the part so you can buy it on Amazon

[@dannysdiygarage]

Update in description, the front pistons just needs pushed in

[@DatHondaBoi223]

You don’t need a special tool, might make it easier but it’s not needed. You can use some big needle nose pliers, you just need something to twist it..

[@philtheninja7208]

hey danny, i was wondering, have you ever had the issue where your fuel gauge is reversed in your civic? I known its a somewhat common issue

[@dannysdiygarage]

I have not

[@ericschwa1479]

We have. It's the contacts in the instrument cluster that are the issue. We just give the cluster a love tap just right of the speedometer and it corrects. Not a fix per se, but it does correct for awhile.

[@dannysdiygarage]

@@ericschwa1479thanks for adding this information

[@koralfarver7779]

❤❤❤

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate you

[@pgreenx]

When you say “it” says torque to 17 lbs. is there a manual we can buy that shows all this stuff? Also I hate rotating my tires but do it because most of those tires guys don’t really care about another person car…..

[@dannysdiygarage]

yes, there are manuals you can buy, the internet usually has a lot of free information also, it just takes time to do research, people have no Idea how much time I spend trying to find the correct information for them. Appreciate you watching and please subscribe if your not already

[@pgreenx]

@@dannysdiygarage Im a subscriber. and I know how hard it is to find info and that's why I asked. Luckily for me we have the same make , model and yr civic How about buying a 2013 Volvo xc70 too and make some video on that one :)

[@dannysdiygarage]

I thought about a new project car, however funds are limited and youtube doesn’t pay the bills, but a future project car could happen

[@joeyyung911]

Didn't realize the brakes in the back are so puny. Still wish I had them on my LX though.

[@dannysdiygarage]

The disk in the rear do appear to work much better, a lot easier to service also
