Thanks, RB. subscriber here. I am halfway through. I have to take the rotor off and your step-by-step instructions are very clear. I am going to try it this morning. I am gonna only do the cleaning job, no replacement today.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Cool let me know how it goes remember to pump the brake peddle before u start once ur complet

[@RMalai]

@@RBTheMechanic Hi RB, it went well overall. cleaning the caliper took the most time even with the wirebrush attached to a drill, as several spaces on it are not easily accessible by the brush. I had to manually do it. rotor cleaning was much easier. my friends told me it looks brand new. I painted it with high heat paint. yes, did have to pump the brake pedal a few times.

@@RMalai cool good job!! Well done!!!

[@bubbajeph]

Great video. I've pulled the caliber towards me when I did the last brake job. Slowly it compresses the pistons, giving a little slack between the rotor & caliber. You want to have even pressure on the pistons in the caliber. So do not pry on a corner of the pistons.

[@RBTheMechanic]

bubbajeph that’s a perfect trick I always do that on the rear Camry calipers they r super soft usually u can compress the whole caliper piston back with a pull

[@ryanmalone8837]

[@MJOLNIR242]

Good video but I'm confused why you didn't do the parking brake shoes as well?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Customer only wanted this

[@rodrigochiu8015]

Thank you

Thanks!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Thank you!! Appreciate it!!

[@edwardpinsent2101]

Thanks for the video of 'Front' and "Back" brakes. Followed your directions today .. and all turned out very well .. One small thing.. I couldn't easily push back the brake cylinder .. Do you have to Bleed the brakes in order to get it to move back easily ? Thanks .

[@RBTheMechanic]

No it should just go in smoothly other wise it’s kinda restricted how much of difference was from opposite side?

[@edwardpinsent2101]

@@RBTheMechanic Not much difference between either side. I 'suspect' there simply wasn't a lot of move room in the cylinder as it was backed off as much as possible. The old brake pads had lots of pad left , but I was replacing as the rotor had rusted so much while sitting for 6 months. Shame, but the road noise was deafening for a few months .. They had to go. Thanks for the swift reply .. Now, I gotta go bleed my brakes as I let some air back in there and my brakes are now very spungy .. sigh !!! .

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@edwardpinsent2101 yeah spongy is air in there

[@latmask00]

Thank you my bro.

[@williamlaurence4754]

Why not adjust the parking brake shoes while you are at it, I did my shoe adjustment a few years ago and it really took up the slack on the handbrake.. As you know the adjuster click wheel is behind the rubber plug..

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yup if u feel it need adjusting u should usully with new rotor it becomes tighter since the rotor is not worn out

[@leukocyte0012]

What was the rotor that you used? Any recommendations?

[@righthand7965]

Should have used a screw driver to push the piston back through the caliper holes first....

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok thanks

[@righthand7965]

@@RBTheMechanic 🙌👍😊 I once drained the diff expecting engine oil to come out 😂 trial & error, keep up the good work mate!!

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@righthand7965 yup thanks!!

[@FOTOFOTA]

You might have replaced the rotor and the pads but those shoes for the emergency brakes needed replacements also. They looked worn to hell already.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Customer was advised

[@AlejandroPerez-wi9qb]

What's that little rubber that goes into the rear rotor for??

[@RBTheMechanic]

Alejandro Perez that’s the port to adjust the e brake and the rubber is to cover the hole from dirt water entering

[@gguzman767]

Got a question hope someone can help. 05 crv rear brake pins. What pin goes on top. 1 pin is completely round and the other pin has flat spot all the way down pin. Question is on the rears not fronts. Thanks.

[@RBTheMechanic]

G Guzman the pin suppose to have like rubber ring around it that one goes bottom it creates pressure so brake pad can come off from lower point for rotor to slide through works just like some cars have metal retainer goes pad to pad

[@adamc8409]

I ran into a problem I couldn't get the rotor off no matter what any thoughts why that could be?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Adam c if the roar is very very old it has rusted internally and it’s like locked on to the hub u have to slice it with 3” air cutter then hammer it it should come off after a big struggle 🤦‍♂️

[@RBTheMechanic]

David Hobson yes sir you can do that or hit it with hammer usually it comes out easy. Please subscribe also subscribe to my other channel here’s a link kzbin.info/door/vqsPzqAZfVv_gjBYUFqNdg
