In this video we will be replacing the rear brake pads for a 2019 Honda Accord 1.5 turbo. I should have done some thorough research but as you will see in the video a Hex Allen key 7mm is needed which I didn't have at that moment. I thought it was a size 13 or 14 bolt just like any other Acura/Honda and man was I wrong lol. I improvised with an Allen key wrench and some modifications and it still got the job done. Add brake grease on the edges of the brake pads where it slides into the brake shoe.
fyi: I used a c-clamp on the rear driver side pistons because even though it was already fully turned clockwise with the needle nose plier, because the pads were completely gone metal to metal the piston was pushed so far out that a c-clamp was needed to fully be pushed back in. As for the rear passenger side I was able to fully turned/pushed the piston back in fully with no c-clamp needed because the piston wasn't fully pushed out like the rear driver side was.
Tools needed
1- 7 mm Hex Allen key
2- half floor jack pole or plumber's bar
3- brake cleaner
4- brake grease
5- needle nose pliers
6- flat head screw driver
7- c-clamp (if needed)
8- gloves
9- rags

The caliper pistons was improperly wound. That will Damage the parking brake motor.

[@playboy7_16_79]

You're absolutely correct about that. You gotta turn on the vehicle but just in the on position (don't start the car). Then you can take a needle nose pliers and turn the caliper in. Also my guy,you never put grease on the rotors .

[@preetkumar9270]

If you have a hand held OBD monitoring instrument or if you can borrow one from a friend you can put the E-Brake in maintenance mode and that will turn the motor back and then allow you to use a normal disc brake piston compressor tool to push the piston back.

[@ericgardia4575]

Grease should never go on the surface of the rotor or the pad surface. Sorry to call you out but it’s better to know.

[@velvetbear7184]

And using old rotors on new pads causes pulsation, squeaking, and brake fade. Also have the right tools, saves a lot of damage to the car and the person fixing it.

[@ScoobyGoesDeep]

​@@velvetbear7184 you don't have to replace rotors everytime you do a brake job.

[@patlee9704]

Um. Yeah you NEVER put grease on a rotor. It will contaminate the pads but also be a possible cause for a car to not stop or at the very least reduce braking distance

[@russherman3310]

I think it's brake-clean, not grease.

[@realtalk7704]

It be helpful if someone else is holding your camera so that you can see a complete video I didn't see which way you turned the piston

[@FatThumbPEARL]

Can someone tell me how to get the sensor out without a hook tool?

[@anon2414]

The caliber only turned down about a 1/4 of an inch and stopped. Not turning anymore. Do you have any suggestions. Car ignition is on and e brake is off

[@BayViewz]

You're talking about the piston right? Try using a c-clamp to pushed it back in fully.

[@nellof1244]

Car does not need to be on and should not be. They sell a cube at the auto parts store that I'll match up with the dimples you put it on the end of a 3/8 ratchet push in and twist at the same time. If you want to spend a 100 bucks or more they sell other tools to compress the piston. Places like autozone will also rent it to you for free

[@anon2414]

​​​@@nellof1244I took off the electric brake plastic part from the back. You need to twist the spline bolt then you can compress the caliper. Other videos show you how to do that. I was using the tool from AutoZone it wasn't moving anything

[@gersonrivas1624]

What about if emergency brake warning is blinking after I'd replaced rear brake pads exactly like you did

[@BayViewz]

I never ran into that issue. But if it happens I would suggest disconnecting and reconnecting the car battery.

[@5ohmobn]

I’m getting same issue any way to fix it

[@cuzcraven6847]

What needs to be done is unplug and disconnect the parking brake motor before you compress the piston.

[@julianmolina673]

I am turning the piston on the caliper however it is still not retracting enough for me to install new break pads. Any advice?

[@BayViewz]

Use a c-clamp to pressed it back in flushed.

[@michaelagostinacchio1493]

This caliper is not a push in ,just be patient and twist it,it does retract,they do have a special tool for it or just use a needle nose pliers,it is much harder but it does work ,good luck!

[@HondaMom]

I couldnt even get that first screw out

[@alexthegadfly]

You need to warn people about the parking brake- if its on, and the person doesnt check it or do the old wheel spin trick, you could cause someone to mess up their parking brake sensor thus costing them $$$ to get it fixed

[@bigdaddy8286]

Bro u said I don’t have a 7mm so we just gonna use this. Lol what size did you use

[@BayViewz]

I believe it's a 7 mm Allen key. If you have a set try it out. I might he wrong as I did this video months ago lol. Sorry if I'm wrong.

[@mallion7373]

Can someone explain the piston part more ?.. what is the purpose of turning it ?

[@BayViewz]

With the new braking system for the newer cars, instead of using a c-clamp like traditional braking system, for this Honda you have to turn it for the piston to go back in before installing the new brake pads. Hopes this helps and brings more clarity

[@mallion7373]

@@BayViewz how will I know it’s back in

[@BayViewz]

@@mallion7373 when you see that the piston is flushed in and you can no longer turn it back in.

[@mallion7373]

@@BayViewz this really helped thanks man

[@nickycasty9403]

Same problem I turned the piston all the way clockwise but it stopped is it because of auto zone brakes

[@theschuntz]

Whats the part number?

[@BayViewz]

You would have to call or go to the dealership for that. I don't know it from the top of my head.

[@jamesmonteon2787]

You can get the same pads at Napa auto parts, for about 45 bucks, part act1878. Akebono makes the pads for Honda. Honda just box them in their own Honda labeled box and jack up the price lol.

[@alexzaragoza9834]

The piston I did not turn it how you did with the pliers I just pushed it straight back , and my brake light on the dash board is blinking do you think cus of that ,? My electric brake still works tho

[@BayViewz]

I turned it with the pliers and then when it stopped turning I used a c-clamp to pushed it back in. What you did probably triggered it. I would scan the car to make sure there are no codes and disconnect the car battery for a few mins to see it the brake light on the dash stops blinking.

[@prestonmiller7749]

Do you have to turn it a certain way? Counter clockwise or clockwise?

[@vigourdiy5084]

@@BayViewz The correct way is to use a diagnostic tool to put the brakes in "service mode" then manually turn the piston back clockwise or counter clockwise, it depends on make & model. If you dont you can definitely damage the piston or the actuator motor & its internal parts/gears. These caliper motors are built with "limit stops", so if the brake light is flashing it's possible the cars system cant correlate with the rear brakes & it's actual position. You may have to "relearn" the system.

[@Thomasrulesrs]

@@vigourdiy5084 there is also a way to put the electronic brake into “maintenance mode” to c clamp the piston. I don’t find the pliers to be efficient or trustworthy enough to not damage the piston.

[@beeswax3012]

I think you're supposed the grease the edges of the pads where it slides into the shoes. Other than that great video.

[@ganshyamsukhai6364]

If u grease the clips you're creating an area to collect dirt and debris. Deff not suppose to smother the back of the pads with grease either

@@BayViewz even if it was just one step we have no clue what you did. You have to look at it my way. For someone who or relying solely on your “instructional video” for the job it’s best to show every step. You jumped over very important steps bud. But thanks all the same.

[@ronjoseph5601]

You grease the brake pads wrong bruh….is this your very first time

[@slumygoat]

He greased the backing of the brake pads not the contact side. It is perfectly applicable and recommended when changing pads ! To ensure noise and vibration free braking.

[@ExcaliburTTP]

at least he didnt grease the pad materials

[@playboy7_16_79]

​@@ExcaliburTTP he put grease on the rotors,it's still going to get on the pads 🤔

[@playboy7_16_79]

Never put grease on your rotors !!!
