HOW TO: EBC BRAKE ROTOR & PAD INSTALL (10th-Gen Civic) | Project FC3 | Edge Autosport

[@danadams1661]

I’d recommend cleaning the hub surface and using anti seize on the hub before install. Also, for $10, new brake hardware kit is cheap insurance for noise free and smooth braking

[@TensorWM]

Thank you for yet another guide video for the CivicX platform guys. I'm personally installing a retrofitted brembo genesis big brake kit on my si but the instructions were needed! 🙏🏼

[@NEXTGENMLBSC]

Great vids. Straight to it, no b.s for content. Looking forward to next vid

[@brucemelgar4805]

Best part of the video: “I’m also gonna take off this L sticker cuz this car doesn’t take L’s” 😂

[@vermontvermont9292]

My 2019 coupe ext didnt have those spring clip things. Just did brakes too. 56,000 miles no issues. As for the screw holding the rotor on. Largest phillips head , pound it in to break up rust. Use pb blaster and a impact with gun comes right out. Mine all it took was one turn of the cheap walmart impact gun. Came right out.

[@siggislokillo]

Thanks bro i have same problem and in honda tell me its normal problem with many cars

[@raczyk]

Just did the rear passaner side. One question, do you have to disengage the parking brake before starting the brake jon? Does it matter? I've disengaged it, I've assumed that would make it easier to remove the brake pads, etc. Does that make sense?

[@raczyk]

For the rear can you push the piston back too far? I used the old brake pad against the piston and pushed it back as far as it will go with a brake caliper compression tool.

[@jaywardlim6152]

Hello edge did u guys engage the electric parking brake before u guys work on ?

[@Joe-bb5hf]

Do you have to spray brake cleaner on the new rotors before install?

[@AlxTheG8]

Thank you for the reviews , I'm maybe going for this options next summer! keep it up.

[@eddielist6837]

How would you suggest getting off the rotor screws that are, VERY stubborn?

[@EdgeAutosport]

If you are referring to the single set screw (on the civic it was a #3 Phillips) Those can be very difficult. If it looks like trouble, step one: soak in PB Blaster (Or similar penetrant) to prepare for breaking free. Step 2: make sure you have a the right screwdriver, a #2 Phillips will strip it. Step 3: if it wont come loose and feels like the head will strip, get a "Manual Impact Wrench" tool. These are extremely useful for stubborn bolts and screws. Basically the impact of the hammer stroke, turns the bolt head, and the down force will stop it from stripping. If none of this works, then your bolt is probably wrecked and its time to drill it out. It can't be stuck if you turn it to dust.

[@dundizzle93]

Awesome video! Did you have the EPB activated or deactivated prior to pulling the actuator off?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Deactivated/off

[@leddilidili2421]

@@EdgeAutosport how did you deactivate it?

[@johnnyolson258]

By disengaging the parking brake. ​@@leddilidili2421

[@alexanderfulgenzi5694]

When you're putting the pads on. Do you press them against the rotar or do you leave a gap?

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Thanks for bringing us yet another vibe 🥂 enjoyed

[@evanp.7232]

Hello, my brake system light and e-brake lights are flashing after install. How do I turn those off? Everything appears to be put on correctly.

[@evanp.7232]

Actually, I did not take off the actuator before putting on the new pads and rotors. Would that be the cause?

[@EdgeAutosport]

They definitely shouldn't be. I'm not sure what the problem is. It might be best to take it to a mechanic if you can't figure it out.

[@kendallg556]

For anyone who needs to know: the bolt inside the rubber pieces is a 7mm Allen key head

[@jobear1828]

How important is it to use BOTH metal plates for the front inside pad?? @edge autosport

[@EdgeAutosport]

you should be using all the included pieces in the kit!

[@JasonCrazyjAnderson]

@EdgeAutoSport - I followed this video, and it was helpful (thanks). However, you guys missed an important step on how to reset the parking brake after the maintenance. Also there's a special tool for getting that screw out of the rotor or other tips to break it free. I messed mine up thinking it would be easy, so ended up having to drill the screw out.

[@johnbeck4197]

if it really stuck you can put the screwdriver in the screw and then tap it a couple of times with a mallet. The vibration will help it to break free.

[@spider02540]

There is a special tool it's called an impact screwdriver, you can get one at harbor freight for like $15. A special screwdriver you bang the back of it with a hammer and converts that into a twisting motion if that makes sense.

[@josephhernandez8347]

You explain well on installs! I do have a question.... if I go with this rotor or the stop tech ones can I use my current OEM pads? I just got them this week, which is why I ask

[@EdgeAutosport]

It's typically not advised to mix a used pad with a new rotor. It's probably not the worst thing in the world but usually you want to bed in pads and rotors together. If you asked a brake expert, they might explain more about why you can or can't. It might be worth a further search.

[@antonmo6624]

Question. I'm very interested in purchasing both brakes and rotators from you. However, at this time, it'll be only the brakes. I'm I able to place these brake pads on the stock rotators? I know. Silly question.

[@EdgeAutosport]

It is best to do them at the same time, as old rotors have grooves from the old pads that will wear the new pads unevenly. But the car will not explode from putting new pads on old rotors, though. You can also get your older rotors machined/turned for less than new rotors, if they still have life in them.

[@joelhamlin1117]

Name of the background song? And I recently got some ebc slotted rotors and pads, looking forward to installing them on my 8th gen si

[@FatalCorleone07]

Do you still have to clean off the new black rotors when installing like you do regular rotors?

[@EdgeAutosport]

No, it'll come off right away after use. You don't need to do anything.

[@FatalCorleone07]

@@EdgeAutosport I meant spraying with brake cleaner for oils etc? Not necessarily the black part

[@danadams1661]

The brake in coating on the pads removes the black coating on the rotors. As for cleaning the rotors, they are not covered in a protective coating. However, it’s a good idea to give them a quick shot of brake clean because the oil and grease from your hands

[@truth4reel]

In my experience ebc stuff is prone to vibration (TV). I had the green stuff and the slotted rotors on my Legend, then i had the yellow stuff on the prelude with black slotted rotors. Same deal on both setups. Vibration on high speed braking eventually (after a lot of miles) reared it's ugly head. The yellow stuff pads were great for street driving though. They handled the heat fairly well from high speed braking and had good bite cold or not. sometimes little bit of squealing when cold in cold weather. Expect dusty wheels. Perhaps ebc have improved their compound now. So far the best pads i've used on the prelude have been Stoptech street pads which are made by Centric. On the 2020 si though i'm running stock so far. As far as grease i never use any on pads on cars and never had noise. Grease is a sand magnet. Sometimes the shims don't fit so don't be alarmed if they don't. On my prelude the yellowstuff shims didn't fit so they went on without it.

[@marco1173]

Had vibration with Green Stuff in less than 3k miles after install. Turns out, it was a caliper sticking. Had to replace the brake kit again after servicing the caliper and it's been trouble free going over 10k miles now.

[@BboyMobster]

great video. That rear has me worried.

[@Czechmate88]

No anti seize inside the hub? Is it due to having EBC rotors or a missed step?

[@EdgeAutosport]

we don't need anti-seize in Colorado, we don't really get rust

[@christianenriquez6142]

is this the same for the fc1?

[@jakelowk559]

In my pad box there was these clips that I assume go into the piston are these included in the newer ones or just with my specific pads?

[@vermontvermont9292]

Are you talking about new hardware for the calipers?

[@jakelowk559]

@@vermontvermont9292 it was in the hardware kit but it’s not the caliper bracket clips it was like an adhesive patch almost to place on the pad

[@chriski1629]

An incomplete rear brake job. E-brake is going to throw codes. Compressing the caliper piston by hand too?

[@JasonCrazyjAnderson]

yeah my e-brake threw codes, I luckily there's a way to reset the e-brake system afterwards....

[@oramos5353]

Which is done how exactly?

[@chriski1629]

@@oramos5353I disconnected the battery for the job. Not sure if this was necessary but I had no issues doing the job without the battery connected. After installation, set the pads by slow and short pump of the brake pedal until you feel hard resistance. After this, start up and you will see codes. This is normal let codes, radio, etc. reset. Then turn off ignition and back on. All should be as they were before the brake job. Test drive and check braking. Then engage e-brake. No codes should come up. Job complete then.
