one of the best DIY. Clear and short explanation, good camera angle, and simple. Thanks

[@eddiemcars]

Glad you liked it

[@mickc7939]

Best video for changing rear pads 🙌

[@victormerino1007]

Great DIY video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@ldsiverling]

one of the better videos shown doing this. Need to do the rears myself

[@BR-gz3cv]

Great video! Good to see a someone as meticulous with a clean car as myself. Love my 2020 Type R and considering a brake pad with less brake dust too. Any follow up after a few hundred miles would be great!

[@jeffrimendoza10]

Thank you so much brother!

[@NateJollay]

Great video Thank you

[@robertrishel3685]

Excellent video!

[@eddiemcars]

Thank you very much!

[@Cudaman8000]

This was a great video. Super clear and simple with good angles too. I did my rears without the scanner, it was a terrible experience lol and I had replace a sensor.

[@eddiemcars]

Uh oh. Hopefully not too bad!

[@mybloodtype_r]

I did it without the scanner and worked out just fine just keep hand break off and do not turn on car PERIOD

[@eddy2358]

I did this without scanner also and my brake light came on so I’m dealing with that today 😂

[@mybloodtype_r]

@@eddy2358 I unplugged the battery performing this idk if that helped me not have issues

[@Proscalecrawler]

So I can do the rears pads without the tool? Just unplug battery & no emergency brake?

[@str888yaad2]

Am having the same dust problems with my ctr can you provide me with a link where to buy and the item numbers

[@codychallenger0666]

Did u see the carusedesign rear wing extension? It makes it look so much nicer bro

[@jeryjohn]

You can release the handbrake and disconnect the battery no need for obd scan tool right?

[@xgonzalez45]

How are the brake pads holding up? Looking to getting these for my type r as well

[@richardwilliams6256]

Great content and binging lots of your uploads. Honorable mention to Carbotech pads as they are pricey but much better bite and less dusting than even the Akebonos. Lots of good info out there on them for your next change in a few years. Just a thought, Cheers and Regards!

[@eddiemcars]

Thanks! I might have to give the Carbotech pads a try! My front Akebono’s are great but the rears are still dusting more than I would like.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

I'm looking at the carbotechs now. Just not sure if $430 is worth it. The hawk Hawk performance ceramics are like $180 right now front and rear.

[@timothyleung5033]

Hi, where you can get the tools to remove the pins?

[@Davidityourself]

just did this job on my buddies car, there is a way without an obd2 device, i manually did it for the rear calipers, great video btw

[@silkontainera]

How?

[@Davidityourself]

@@silkontainera put it in service mode and slowly rotate the the piston

[@silkontainera]

Did it yesterday, no service mode, everything looks good! Im so happy! Ty!🎉🎉

[@tonynguyen5750]

Great video, what model is you foxwell scanner tool? For the rear brakes

[@eddiemcars]

I got the NT530 but I had the purchase the license. This 510 should work. This one comes with the Honda license already pre installed. amzn.to/3xcDA4Y

[@willsmith5038]

I didn't catch where you ordered these from, can you please let me know, thank you for the walkthrough.

[@Mk7Albert]

Lmao just watched this part, he dead ass said ¨from ummm¨ and skipped ahead X.D

[@shenray337]

Great video. What that little pin tool call at 2:47 and can we reset the obd setting once we finished all brake pads changed?

[@eddiemcars]

Yeah, you can reset or enable the parking brake after swapping out the pads Took I used is just a pin tool used for punching calipers pins for most brembo brakes amzn.to/3OEmV0k

[@shenray337]

@@eddiemcars thx Man. It’s really helpful to me. Also wondering any obd scanner(or what kind the scanner) will does the reset job when we after finished the pads changed?

[@arieltrujillo3778]

Great video! What Foxwell Scanner is this?

[@eddiemcars]

It’s the NT530 I had to buy the Honda/Acura license as extra thought. On Amazon you can get some already pre loaded amzn.to/3SNoT0O

[@raulbernal5227]

What rotors do you have on them? I have 2019 and those look like you can resurface them

[@richasianman]

These are probably stock rotors. The 2020 refresh uses different rotors from the 2017-2019 models.

[@stephencurran4369]

Can BimmerCode code fog lights to stay on with full beams but go out with dipped beams.

[@stephencurran4369]

Fog lights on X5 F15

[@eddiemcars]

You want fog lights to activate with the high beam? I think the best way is have fog with high beam coding and turn on the fog lights as needed.

[@ronniemorgan5143]

You have Hondata? Plugging that fox well in won’t mess the Hondata up will it?

[@eddiemcars]

No, I don’t have Hondata.

[@planetfabulous5833]

Wow thanks for this video! Exactly what I need to help me do this. I'm a sissy but I love cars. I subscribed! Kisses!

[@eddiemcars]

Thanks for your sub!

[@Saadmalik__69]

Which country …. ?

[@JustFunFK8]

Do you have to remove the brake master cylinder cap while compressing the piston on the caliper?

[@eddiemcars]

It’s not required but good practice. Since the pads have very little miles on them there was hardly any room to push back the pistons.

[@JustFunFK8]

@@eddiemcars I appreciate your response ,my rear pads are worn out at 21k miles.

[@miloa4949]

did the same install and i’m having the very very annoying squeak on the rear pads not sure why. Maybe it’s because the oem pad had some sort of adhesive to the caliper and the akebono dont? please let me know if you had this issue

[@eddiemcars]

I had the same issue. I had to buy new anti rattle clip in the rear. One of them got stretched out.

[@miloa4949]

@@eddiemcars not sure why my is squeaking it’s both rear breaks that squeak and it’s non stop

[@oficina_moomoo]

do you leave the obd2 scanner plugged in and on while you are doing the rear pads?

[@eddiemcars]

I can’t recall if I left it on but it was plugged in. I want to be able to take the parking brake out of service mode.

[@g0d182]

Thanks for video. My pistons aren't budging Did you disable the ebrake or something?

[@eddiemcars]

Yes. It's required for electronic e-brake. I used a Foxwell

[@g0d182]

@@eddiemcars Thanks!!

[@TC-rx3hv]

Did you change your rotors? I don't seem them slotted.

[@eddiemcars]

No, those are the OEM rotors for the 2020+

[@MrWorthfood]

Did you fluid fill nesr the top after you changed brakes?

[@eddiemcars]

No need. Fluid doesn’t evaporate and since it’s a closed system the fluid from the pistons got pushed back into the reservoir

[@MrWorthfood]

@@eddiemcars awesome, just finished replacing my front ones, I appreciate your work. Everything seems to have gone well!

[@adamr7172]

Hello I am doing my first ever brake pad change. Mine are very used and grinding. Do I need the compression tool or can I use my hands like you did and pull?

[@eddiemcars]

Compression tool is easier but you may be able to use your hands or carefully use a flat head screw driver covered with a towel so you don’t chip the paint on your caliper.

[@adamr7172]

@@eddiemcars awesome. Thank you! Your video made it look so easy. I also ordered a brembo pin and an Autel scanner to put the e brake in maintenance mode. I will follow your video step by step and come back here letting you know how well it worked for me!!!

[@adamr7172]

@@eddiemcarshello please help me ASAP front was easy. The rear I can’t fit the brembo back on. The piston is to tight for the new pads

[@adamr7172]

@@eddiemcarshello just letting you know the job is finished much thanks to your easy to follow video. My buddy had to come and help me with the rear brakes, I used the scanner for the electric brake maintenance mode but the piston was way too tight for the new pads. So he brought a tool that squeezed the piston back into place! So far so good. I Do have a question though. Do I have to bleed the rear brakes now since we took the caliper off like in your video?

[@prm5798]

Type r wheel torque is 94 ft lbs.

[@eddiemcars]

You are correct. I read the wrong section. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@jakedantas9298]

Can’t you just unplug the actuator and use a piston push tool?

[@eddiemcars]

That will MIGHT work but at risk of damaging the actuator. I’ve heard a few people doing it this way and ended up having to visit Honda for replacement after losing rear parking brake and having a bunch of malfunction lights in the dash

[@chrispy4u2]

Why do the rear pads wear out so fast 😭

[@eddiemcars]

I think it’s because of the VSA. It working in the background. Really not 100% sure. Had a Acura TL the ran through more rear brakes than fronts.

[@kevinmorales8094]

You don’t have to bleed the brakes???

[@eddiemcars]

No. It's a closed system for a brake pad swap. You should only bleed if you open the bleeder valve or replacing a brake line or caliper. Even if you open bleeder valve by accident because air is introduced in the system.

[@kevinmorales8094]

@@eddiemcars thank you for clearing that up for me!! i just bought my type r a month ago and i want to make sure. do you have any good service/repair manual recommendations so i can attempt to do any maintenance on my vehicle?

Bro you forgot one important thing, after hitting the pin’s in your supposed to pull on them and say “yeah they ain’t going anywhere” or else your anger the gods !!
