Honda Civic rear brake pad and rotor replacement with electric parking brake

[@GTAHomeGuy]

What an excellent resource! Really appreciate all the time that went into this. Very helpful!

[@JrZCarZ]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it helped you out 👍

[@Lfrank2004]

I know this is a dumb question but do you still have to open the cap to the brake revisor when pressing the calipers ? don’t know if it’s different to these newer cars.

[@JrZCarZ]

I do that just so I can better monitor the reservoir and make sure when compressing the caliper that the fluid going back in isn't going to overflow.

Watching because I've never done this on a car with eletric parking brake and I'm doing my brakes tomorrow, great my first time is my car.

[@JrZCarZ]

Hopefully this helps you along the way 👍

Hey thanks for the video how much did you torque the two 17mm bolts on the bracket?

[@JrZCarZ]

@@imdarwinsosa1879 I torqued them to 110ft/lbs I believe

[@quietgaming6322]

quick question ,do i need the parking breaks ON? before doing all this? thanks

[@JrZCarZ]

When doing the rear brakes, you can't have the parking brake on and replace everything so you will have to have the wheels chocked in the front to keep the car from moving.

Do we need to put the car in service mode due to electronic braking

[@JrZCarZ]

@@2sonny4u nope

[@marclallier550]

How did you get the connector unplugged from the e brake, for the life of me I can't figure it out.

[@JrZCarZ]

It took a little doing but I got a small flat head screw driver in there to push on the release clip

[@airmankey1991]

So weirdly enough I think I did it right but not your way. I bought a compression set online. I had to line up two notches with the two notches on the caliper and twisted it to compress it. So sounds like I did the same as you just from the other end?

[@lordxmewtwo8318]

I swapped out my breaks but didn’t do the electrical break stuff and now I’m getting all these errors on my dash. How do I fix this?

[@carflexee]

At this point, you probably should take it to a mechanic, buddy

[@xoCubanita1221xo]

An easier way to get that screw on the rotor off is to buy a hand impact driver and hammer . Comes right out without stripping or you needing to heat anything up

[@JrZCarZ]

Yep, I bought one a couple months ago to do the brakes on my Odyssey. Works great 👍

[@bobkadiddlehopper7788]

Looks fairly easy to get done! How did they feel when you were done?

[@JrZCarZ]

Brakes felt a TON better!

Quick question, do I need to get a caliper compression kit, so it rotates the caliper as it goes back in? I see you did it with a c-clamp, but I don't believe it is recommended to do it that way. I believe a caliper compression kit is needed to rotate the caliper as it compresses... Please let me know if I am wrong or right. Thanks

[@JrZCarZ]

@@bmark0610 you can do it either way, I've done it so many times this way and haven't had any issues but if you aren't comfortable doing it like that, you can use the caliper compression kit too
