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

In this episode of JrZCarZ, I'll show you how to replace the rear pads and rotors on this 2017 Honda Civic. This would be a simple thing to do, but because they use an electric parking brake that adds another layer of work to the job. It is still pretty straightforward but watch the video to see what you need to do to get the job done and get back on the road safely!

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

@@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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

[@JrZCarZ]

Brakes felt a TON better!
