Very well done; I like it when tool sizes are mentioned during the use of said tools, that bit of information makes it the most thorough DIY video in my humble opinion.👍

[@cadleo]

So, I just changed all my calipers, rotors and pads and bled my fluid on my 09 Accord and all Ive ever done is change my own oil. Ive never even seen someone do brakes before besides on KZbin. It went great and your video was extremely helpful to the whole process. Thank you so much!

[@224flash]

I've always been a do-it-yourself guy (mainly home and auto body) but NEVER tried tackling brakes. Well, following your video I replaced rear pads, calipers, rotors and bled system. Took me at a newby pace most of day but saved a lot of money. Thanks again, much appreciated.

[@silverclouds3725]

Guys, this was a solid video. Props for the detailed narration by the mechanic and props to the camera guy for going the extra mile to give us the best view possible!! Good work!!!

[@ChmodX]

Just wanted to say nice job, there wasn't a single question unanswered as you did this(torque, etc). Video is clear and you explained everything very well. THANK YOU!

[@meyersmichael975]

Wrong he forgot to tell you the first step take the cap off the brake fluid

[@DANIELDRINKARD-h5h]

I honestly looked at the video length and said ‘oh man’..but it wasn’t just filler. All four done with no problems..thank you!!

[@jtprice8775]

Just an FYI, if you live in an area with road salt and long winters it is a good idea to add anti-seize to the mounting screws, if you choose to use them again. It really helps the next time you need to take them off.

[@spaz5310]

This video legit saved me 500 dollars because the labor costs on simple things in Columbus, OH are wildly overpriced. Thank you very much. I'll share your channel with people I know that need this kind of help.

[@jat102491]

I’m near there too and I agree it’s outrageous for labor costs

[@Beantownreview]

I did as described last summer for the passenger side. Come this Saturday, I'll repeat this exercise for the driver's side. One thing I learned (yesterday) is that when you replace one side, you should replace the other as well. Do them in pairs. Don't wait a year like I did.

[@1AAuto]

+Beantown Review Thanks for the tip!

[@petecampa]

🤦‍♂️...

[@norb2464]

The best detailed info on the internet on how to change a caliper and rotor on a 2014 Honda Accord. Great job!

[@MoeDesigns]

Perfect, I will have this the laptop next to me in the garage when I change my brakes lol. I've got a 2008 Honda accord, just waiting for the weather to get warmer (Canadian weather is brutal)

[@garybrooks2907]

Fantastic video guy, best I’ve seen for explaining things, great camera shots and every step well covered, I wasn’t going to change my own caliper but I know feel pretty confident in doing so.

If I'm doing piston and caliper replacement on the driver side rear, so I need to bleed the caliper/piston on the passenger side first and then go to the other side? I've changed break pads many times and rotors once, but never had to replace caliper before.

[@molynn1669]

Great video, I'm tackling this next week on my '16 Accord. Honda wanted $470 to replace RR caliper because ebrake has siezed, then another $450 to replace rear brake pads and rotor. The front would be another $480. Over $1500 for brakes...no thanks. Bought all the parts for $250.

[@1AAuto]

+Michael Morrison Thanks for checking us out! Good luck! 1AAuto.com

[@MrSupernova111]

That's insane!!! I recently bought a four set of performance rotors (perforated) and brakes for about $300. The caliper can't be more than another $100-$200. You can do all of this in 2-3 hours.

[@steveslivinski8182]

Great video. The only thing I did different was to prefill the caliper with fluid. Really reduced the amount of bleeding.

[@1AAuto]

+Steve Slivinski Thanks for the tip!

[@AbdullahAwamleh]

Great video. Helped immensely with my install. However, I’ve read elsewhere that the torque spec for the caliper slide pin bolts is 17 ft-lbs, not 10 as stated. Should I be worried about this falling apart? Also, some other comments say that we shouldn’t clamp the brake line hose. Did I damage it by doing this?

[@meyersmichael975]

This guy the front slide pin torque to 37 ft-lbs hot the hell do you go from 37 to 10 in the back??

[@thurm101]

Followed this video. It really helped me complete the job. Thank you.

[@adamon2s572]

love the quality of your guys videos, also them mutton chops thicc boi!

[@pindiwal4717]

For first timers, rear brakes are different to front. Front brakes you can leave calipers on the rotors whereas, rear brakes, you have to take the entire caliper off. Keeping V strings on is a pain.

[@MrSupernova111]

You'll also need the special tool to compress the caliper piston as it needs to rotate to compress. There is also a specific way that it aligns to the brake pad.

[@rasulsmith7147]

Great Video. Very informative and on point.

[@alouiciousjackson5812]

You guys sometimes do things that I find really questionable. For one thing, you can't clamp off old brake hoses. You will destroy the inner lining. It's far better and cleaner to simply insert a rubber port plug into the banjo end. An assortment of them can be found at any parts store for $5.

[@wymi]

I use a rubber valve stem for that.

[@123clis321]

Shade tree mechanics. Love 'em.

[@uphill248]

It’s going to be my first time doing brakes. Do you use brake grease on those caliber bolts?

[@sharifbaig2478]

i was trying to loosen my bleeder pin on the caliper and the top broke off, do i need to replace the whole caliper(piston) or is there a way to remove the broken bleeder pin? I know there are replacement pins that u can buy.

[@geoff4705]

Is it safe to pinch the brake hose? I have read that hydraulic hoses have some structure, and you may damage it internally.

[@Hapshaw]

Im trying to find this out myself , was told the same thing about those lines

[@virtusetglorie]

Not safe

[@val12628]

Excellent tutorial video

[@Vertikala-pc5ig]

Do you need to bleed all wheels or just that one? Thank you

[@jboyce6140]

Great demo, thanks

[@glennbrown9178]

Should you have squeezed off brake line near caliper? Left cap off brake reservoir during work? Just wondered.

[@daveclark8337]

If you pull the cap off the reservoir while removing the caliper, the fluid would drain out faster from the line because you break the vacuum.

[@redsuxh8r131]

I have 2016 accord with 75k. One rear caliper went bad, do you recommend to change both?

[@laurenttremblay]

[@justonemore9217]

Thanks brother helped me a ton

[@1AAuto]

+just one more Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com

[@Gino20202]

I've never seen or heard of someone spraying the friction side of the brake pad (or the pad at all) with brake cleaner. I've only sprayed the calipers to remove the oils used in shipping. I guess that's ok to do?..

[@blinxs99]

the brake cleaner evaporates with no residue, it just helps dissolve oils and grease that could've gotten on the pads that could make them slick when you fist use them

[@leilanigonzalez3459]

Just finish the job and realized I put the left caliper on the right side and the right on the left. Seems to be working fine. Does it matter which side I put the caliper on? The only difference I can see is the emergency brake is mounted on the top instead of the bottom

[@mustangjoe8352]

You will have some trouble when it comes time to bleed the brakes if you ever need to do that your bleeder screw is now on the bottom instead of being on the top which will make it difficult

[@mustangjoe8352]

I did the same thing and have to switch them back over because of that bleeder screw won’t bleed properly next time you need to

[@genespleen]

This will mean that your bleed bolts will be towards the bottom of the caliper, rather than near the top. Bleeder bolts are always oriented at the top of the caliper, so that air can be bled. What you've done (and it's not an uncommon error) will make bleeding the brakes in the future unsuccessful, since it will not be possible to push entrapped air out of the caliper.

[@alanarcher5954]

I have a 2010 Accord Crosstour, My calipers don't have that x that lets you tighten them down, plus the emergency brake application doesn't seem to exist. Otherwise it look like a good video!

[@Hapshaw]

Arn't those break lines lined with metal to where you shouldn't crimp them? I'm about to do this on my 2009 Honda but wanted to be sure of the lines not having a inner metal lining that would be permanently crimped if that clamp is applied.

[@holmzcat8493]

Thanks for putting this up. Had to watch a ton of crappy video until. I came across yours

[@MrSupernova111]

Pretty cool! I thought you weren't supposed to clamp brake hoses?

[@C7eeN]

Should you not be clamping the brake hose as you did? Couldn't it damage the hose?

[@manickavelganesan6576]

Hi, you didn't mention refilling the reservoir with the brake fluid before you bleed the brake calipers. People follow exactly what you do. Please add that point before you bleed and possibly show where it is and how much they need to refill.

[@rickyhudgins5064]

Had problems with pads because of shims.do you really need the shims?

[@andreyv1]

What to do if parking brake doesn't work (doesn't hold car on hill and is very easy to raise)? The only thing i've done to the car recently is changed my rear brake rotors/pads and I believe that's when my parking brake stopped working. Is there a way I can get it to work again? thank you

[@MrSupernova111]

You probably installed the backside brake pad incorrectly. It needs to line up a specific way with the caliper piston so you're E-brake works.

[@Letitflow1-1-1-1]

I changed the rear drivers side caliper but it's not engaging. What did I do wrong? Air in the system? Brake pedal has zero pressure

[@popalot711rb]

Do u have to bleed breaks after putting new break calibers on or is this something u wanted to do?

[@daveclark8337]

You must bleed them. See how much brake fluid he drained out of the old caliper at the 8:45 mark? That much new fluid needs to be pushed back into the new caliper and you have to get the air out of the lines. Also, if your brakes are so old or neglected that calipers need to be replaced, the existing brake fluid is probably old and shot too, so you might as well flush it through until the fluid runs clear.

[@boostednick]

I'm assuming you'd also have to top off the master cylinder as well at the end if you bled alot of fluid out? Anything special that needs to be done for that? Or just pop the cap off, top it off, and you're done?

[@swaggerjacker1482]

Probably already done but just too it off

[@divinescience]

Great video

[@luckycharms1254]

Hi nice video... can I used the same method on my 02 accord or is it’s different way to do it ?

[@1AAuto]

+Lucky Charms We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task.

[@fdbeast20b58]

No way in hell that those rotor screws came off that easily, 99% you will need a impact driver to knock them out and this is coming from a honda master tech here.

[@nottelling4828]

I just bought my son a 2008 Honda Accord, and during the test drive I noticed a slight wobble when braking, so I plan on changing all the pads and rotors. I do not want to hear about stuck rotor screws... I had a 2014 Camry with the rear rotor screws practically welded to the rotor. I even tried drilling those bad boys out, unsuccessfully. Just called it a day and took it to the shop for the guys to mess with it. They said they had to torch it off (heat it up before twisting it off I guess)

[@andreyv1]

I had to drill mine out with a Cobalt drill bit. lol

[@fdbeast20b58]

Andrey V Lol I bet they can be a pain in the ass sometimes

[@andrewcastleberry4921]

I used a screwdriver on one of mine

[@geo745don]

Maybe he's in sunny Arizona

[@BA-gn3qb]

While I agree with 80 ft lbs of torque on the bracket bolts, everything I have read on the original Honda caliper slide bolts show 17 ft lbs. Is yours only 10 due to the new manufacturer specs?

[@davidhollfelder9940]

On mine, the parking brake cable will not allow caliper release/remove .. cable short/not enough slack.

[@tsj4341]

Why do you tear out the slide pin boot at the same time as the slide pin? The pin is designed to hold the boot in place. If you remove the pin first, the boot comes out easily and is not destroyed. It can be used again many times if it is not cracked.

[@popalot711rb]

What did I do wrong? if I'm done and pressing break and pedal keeps going to floor and having no stiffness.

[@popalot711rb]

What did I do wrong if I followed all step except bleeding. Break lights won't go off and pedal keeps going straight to the floor with no pressure

[@gebsvesonsin6432]

You are AWESOME!! Thank you

[@donh215]

Now where have I heard that background music before?

[@cherylgaston479]

Very detailed nice video

[@cadleo]

Great video, but Honda recommends this order for Accord 09 - 1 Left front 2 Right front 3 Right rear 4 Left rear. I assume its because the ABS unit is more rear mounted.

[@jakef311ify]

I did this to both rear calipers on an 08 TL.. after bleeding the brakes multiple times I had great brake pressure. Then, I started my car, the pedal went to the floor with ease. Is there something I'm not doing? Does something have to be "reset"? Help!!

[@chooseanameforme888]

This happened to me. I turned on the car and bled them again and it was good to go.

[@bcuz8998]

You need to run engine during the bleed process

[@thatboisniper2664]

sounds like the master cylinder

[@glennbrown9178]

Excellent!

[@brianm.595]

I have never seen those rotor screws come off so easily... You almost always need penetrating oil and an impact driver/hammer to get them off. I have had to drill one of them out in fact.

[@andrewcastleberry4921]

I used a Makita 18v impact on my 2001 accord and unbelievably they came out

[@geo745don]

You can buy new ones like I did. Still, its a good idea to lubricate them before installing them to save headaches on the next time.

[@coythibodeax3185]

What about the brake line my Honda has a brake line connected to the brake bracket????!!!?

[@natewebs]

Excellent video but the brake line clamping was a bit sketch. A plug would likely be better.

[@casperthesavage22]

Always awsome vidz

[@JaZu]

Interesting, I thought the drag reduction pins were required...

[@byronsito5048]

Jacob Zuniga I noticed that two he didn’t put the pins in to separate the pads

[@wymi]

OE pads and a few aftermarket pads come w the holes for using the drag reduction pins. I always use them. This video lost me when he put lube on the pad ends, that will attract dust and dirt.

[@ziDeCePTiioN]

What tool were u using on bleeder valve ?

[@MrSupernova111]

Its a plastic clamp plier. You can search for it on Amazon. However, I've been told that brake hoses should not be clamped as they are rigid hoses and clamping them will damage them unlike regular rubber hoses.

[@filibertovargas8354]

[@huntermayhew357]

Why would you put a clamp on your brake hose like that. Even if the tool is intended for that purpose you've now put in a weak spot where the hose can collapse causing brake failure. Just undo the banjo bolt when you're absolutely ready to get the new caliper in place. Quick switch over and then some bleeding of the brakes.

[@greenh7181]

I thought you bleed the caliper farthest from the abs module.

[@popalot711rb]

I have 2000 honda accord ex coupe 4cly

[@mikhailyuren6781]

How come you don't press the piston while car is on is 1000 times faster to retrieve both pistons it won't hurt nothing it doesn't even need to bleed it

[@zeekflash6924]

Omg the stupid rear pistons , was a pain in the rear … I didn’t , re-install the paper clip thing , didn’t see the purpose of it

[@mikediodato]

How about the fact that he bleeds the brakes wrong and there is no pin to line up on the damn brake pads.. also the caliper was not seized up .. But aside from that was a decent video
