Front Brake Pad Replacement Honda CRV

[@IZA-611]

Thank you for this video I’ve been working on my CR-V with my dad and Honda wants to charge $250 for the replacement pads but this saved me money. Doesn’t hurt to learn and do it yourself.

[@jeadie8131]

Really well done! Good video, good audio, good explanation of parts and advice. I always open the brake fluid reservoir and make sure the fluid doesn't overflow when I push the piston back in.

[@angelicwolf909]

Very helpful ... ended up doing my on the side of the road ... total time for both sides 45 minutes and the total cost for parts was about $50 ... doing it in a shop would have been about three hours and about $300.

[@vaiona5156]

The way you pushed piston back in I was like "yesss" I have that tool. YOU'RE THE MAN!!!😊🙌

[@crafty1444]

thanks great short vid , saved me some time, doing my daughters brakes on a super hot day on the same car also, hope it goes quick and easy like this, i wonder how many other guys are doing the same thing today.

[@jp6764]

This tutorial was spot on i needed a lil refresher video cuz its been years since i done pads i appreciate u taking the time to help god bless

[@IanKeegan]

Thanks for the info Jim,I reckon I would’ve been afraid and probably have screwed up this job without having seen your video here! When the time comes you will have saved me a lot of money!

[@saulochoa7551]

I used this tutorial this morning, it was perfectly what I needed. Simple precise and to the point. Thank you!

[@josea.gonzalez1474]

great video. clean, clear and crisp. I normally remove the caliper but like this process much better. going out to do it now. Thanks

[@dextonwilson9722]

Thanks for the video. I am going out to do mine now

[@dusttoyou4550]

Thanks for your instructional video. Can't help wonder why you would keep your radio going while making a video that is helped by being able to clearly hear without unnecessary background noise.

[@NinjaOfTheDay21]

Great video you helped 17,000 people save at least $150 each!

[@kurchak]

And 17,000 mechanics made less money :( hahaha jk but I guess it is true.

[@lawrenceyoungberg8897]

Thank you for posting this. I have the Haynes manual but this cleared their explanation to an understandable degree. Good video.

[@videoshorts2469]

Great video. Haven't done brakes in 30 years but it's about the same. Excellent common sense service tips as well. Thanks.

[@ItheProdigal]

Thanks so much for sharing!!! Excited to work on my wifes car this weekend and now i have the knowledge and courage to do so!!!

[@bishbosh7728]

Good video short and easy to follow I know how to do brakes but it's been awhile. Good to have something to watch to remember what the heck is going on fixing mom's crv today.

[@woodsman335]

Great and clear video! Just what I needed for my 2000 CRV front break pad change

[@ianbridges7929]

Thanks Jim. Really helpful. I appreciate your time showing us all this. Cheers from England 👍

[@eriknelson472]

Thanks Jim for the great video! Very clear and to the point. Save me a tone of time while doing it right! Thanks, Erik

[@flakybooger2464]

In my 2003 honda crv, there is a wire spring attaching both brake pads, it looks like a "V" and the pads have two small holes to put the wire springs in to allow the brake pads to keep a slight distance from the rotor.

[@larissalarocca9396]

Thank you so much this was very helpful and super informative. Not all heroes wear capes !! MUCH APPRECIATED ❤️❤️❤️

[@raybutlerjr8190]

Straight forward. No BS. Great job.

[@philwright8269]

The sliding pins on my 2002 Honda CRV from the UK dry out every six months and require re-lubing other wise they squeal like a pig. Thank you for the video. :)

[@blade1098]

Thanks Jim. Great video. Helped out a lot .

[@Frodo_Shaggins]

I haven't done this yet but it looks easy enough, thank you

[@sripsg1]

Thanks Budd !! You have no idea how helpful this video was !! Happy holidays to you..

[@jimcooke640]

You are welcome! Glad it helped.

[@jazminann301]

You are such a sweetheart!!! This video is so helpful, I greatly appreciate it!!

Excellent vid, very helpful, saved me a lot of time. Thanks mate.

[@jcastllo]

Thank you for your Gazzilion and 1 brake pad video ! I used it.

[@AllanStaib]

Yes, great video. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks for posting!

[@samnunez9478]

Thanks for that great video now I can change the brakes my self

[@2017wagnicd]

You’re the best. Saved me a lot of money!!

[@antonios4926]

Thanks for the video. Ordering the parts now. From UK

[@LongIslandRealtor631]

Perfect explaining. I know how to do am but when I replace my pads I hear a squealing noise from front left I didn't add brake grease so I was thinking that is the reason

[@matto.1074]

Thanks! Good video! Any videos you have done or could recommend for replacing 2013 CRV front / rear rotors?

[@kobragangbit]

Kazillion other Videos like this but yours reached me ♥️

[@thomasberkebile9813]

Thank you!! Super easy!! How would I know if my caliper is bad… also ( I have the exact same car as your daughter..) I do leak fluid my self as well.. seems like something that shouldn’t leak, no?

[@jimcooke640]

@@thomasberkebile9813 as long as the piston pushes in easy and the caliper is not leaking, you’re ok. If it’s real hard to push in, replace it. Also what leaks are you referring to? When you push the piston back in the caliper, it sends fluid back to the master cylinder. If the master cylinder was already full, there is a chance it may spill over.

[@janetstone236]

WONDERFUL! Thank you so much, this is the 2nd video, and the first one I watched he completely skipped the lube grease (which I am glad I purchased with new pads last night because I may have to do this as we just had a TX ICE/SNOW storm and my mechanic is not returning my test! GAk! And you left the caliper top bolt and simply raised it - great method - the other guy took it off completely - but one thing he did, was replaced the shims? I will have to check this out.

[@jimcooke640]

Good luck!

[@jimcooke640]

I had to go back and look at the video. My new pads had shims on them already. I think most come with them.

[@skyelee9398]

Great video my man. I saved some good money! Thanks.

[@DaniellaBaining]

Thank you now I can change my brakes pad no need for a mechanic to change it for me😮

[@bobkelly2447]

thank you ! i took the clip out of the center of the caliper to see the brake shoes... and was wondering how it went back in ! LOL and I'll lube it when I put the clip back in ! .... thanks ! bob....

[@bannedlist3451]

Thanks mate, very helpful

[@mackenzierinne6090]

The break needs to be disengaged to get the caliper back on but i dont have a c clamp do u have any suggestions

[@jimcooke640]

C-clamp and big pliers are my 2 best guesses for common tools that people may have. They make a special tool for that but ive never needed it. Maybe a friend close by has one? Also, i think some of the parts stores will loan out special tools. Especially if you bought the parts from them. Sorry i dont have a better answer. Good luck!

[@mackenzierinne6090]

Thanks for responding asking a friend to come with clamps thank you

[@lebronjordan802]

The two skinny pins that goes on top of brake pads holes. I don't see any in yours... I decided not to install them and I'm going for a test drive now..

[@Camaro-rl9ds]

nice video just did my well explain everything went good thanks..

BTW, bolt head size is 14 mm.

thank you. I hate having to lug out the whole case of bolts. Just in case people want to know, the tire lugs are 17mm.

[@samberhanu]

@@christopherbassit2757 i guess you have Touring? i think Touring model might be different

[@zeemzee7476]

Cheers amigo

[@Gabrielclrk]

is this the same process for a 2003 Honda crv?

[@jimcooke640]

Gabe Clark Can't say for sure, but I think it would be very similar.

[@shahjaffar8108]

May I know the wrench size to unscrew the pad clipper ?

[@jimcooke640]

I believe it was either a 12mm or 14mm. Cant remember, and I dont have the vehicle now.

[@jamesbrock66]

What size wrench is that bolt

[@felixvalenzuela6052]

Very nice video , thanks.

[@gtaitbiz7787]

how do i find the specs for the HRV to torque the bolts?

[@nickgosselin69]

Good vid, cheers for help

[@DaniellaBaining]

Best 👍. I learn something good here

[@rodverad27]

I will save 350 bucks- thanks buddy

[@iamcaferacer]

Is it the top of bottom screw to remove the caliper

[@jimcooke640]

Cafe6Racer if I understand your question, you have to remove both screws to remove the caliper. Hope this helps.

[@kurchak]

Diggin the music.

[@october72393]

Good job always can rely on those hondas

[@harutanaka3647]

my 1999 crv does not make squezz sound, but sometime break smell what do you think the problen

[@jimcooke640]

Do you mean it smells hot? Could be one of your calipers is sticking. Try to push back inwards like when you are replacing the pads. If they do not push in easily may need to replace a caliper. You may need to consult a shop as this could get expensive and involved. Good luck!

[@harutanaka3647]

@@jimcooke640 is possible to replace the rubber ring inside the cylinder? I think your logic is right. It is 1999 Honda. still run strong. I only wish gas is not so expensive. I would love to convert this car to electric.

[@jimcooke640]

@@harutanaka3647 It is possible to purchase it as a kit at most local parts stores.

[@ryanlee7895]

Thank you

[@leftblank6036]

would hammering the calliper be a bad idea?

[@jimcooke640]

I wouldnt, go to harbor freight and getca cheap c clamp. Also a good idea to leave old pad in caliper and press on it. I know i didnt in video, but its a good idea to prevent damage

[@johnnosiennek7066]

No mention of the oil overfilling the reserviour when you pushed back the cylinder ( be aware )

[@jimcooke640]

Yes it was...around the 11 minute mark...

[@lebronjordan802]

My inner pad won't stay in place when applying the retainer pins! Any ideas?

Not sure what pins you are talking about?

Hi Jim, your video is very helpful. If you have chance, show us how to replace the rear brake job and the front and rear rotors. Thanks.

[@jimcooke640]

Check out my other videos. I have one where i do front pads and rotors on an Accord. Very similar job. Rear brakes are also very similar, just arranged a little different. As for the CRV, unfortunatly, it was wrecked back in December. We replaced with another Accord
