For those of us looking for the torque specs, here they are: - Front Bracket mount bolts: 80 lb-ft (2013-2016) (These are the 17 mm bolts going to the wheel hub) - Front Caliper bolts: 37 lb-ft (2013 - 2015 Nissin type (14mm bolts)) - Rear Bracket mount bolts: 80 lb-ft (2013-2016) - Rear Caliper bolts: 17 lb-ft

Anything else you’d recommend doing that he didn’t go over?

[@supermec6678]

@@bertabuddz4756 oh he was really thorough. I'd just suggest not to clean the wheel hub by hand as it takes really long to get it done. You can get the metal circular brush from autozone or home depot and attach it to your drill.

[@lawrencehenry606]

I’ve been watching you for years for advice and I can tell you are a great mechanic and very good at explaining every detail of project keep up the good work

[@ComplexAKASkitso]

I like how he’s a real mechanic and not some kid in his moms garage watching a KZbin video on how to change brake and rotors while making a KZbin video on how to change brake and rotors….best video hands down…definitely subscribed

[@JackieRipperLives]

Thank you so much! I've done my older vehicles before but was working on my girlfriends car to try and save money due to the state of things lately so i wasn't 100% about things but with you help everything came out perfect! Thanks so much! The video angle was great, simple and straight to the point! I will, for sure keep you in my favorites for future help! I hope you and yours are all well! Once again, THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. If you need any advice just ask.

[@zaneyone1]

I use the impact screwdriver all the time and never have trouble with it getting the screws out of the rotors. The torque specs are "Good and tight, plus or minus a jerk". After removing any rust, I still go back and spray break cleaner on the treated areas to remove any rust dust left on the reworked area. It is a great practice.

[@amya9344]

You should be instructor for mechanics,well explained video

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you

[@lawrencehenry606]

This is true. I wish I could just know 5% of what you know

[@GrubbyGrupper]

I bet I watched you change Those pads a dozen times, and finally ordered my pads and rotors and followed you step by step. Thanks it went really well and car stops great. Love the accent, thanks again

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help . Thanks for watching. Accent what accent ? Lol

[@Lou-cg2er]

One of the best instructors I have ever heard! Kudos.

[@bartnash9084]

This is the detailed video I've been looking for. The last brake job I did was way back in 82 on my 70 Ford Fairlane with drum brakes. I wore those brakes out so bad the drums fell apart into pieces when I took them off. I wasn't sure if I would be able to replace the rotors and pads on my 2012 Honda but this video made it Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. Thank you verry much !!!

[@Markal2121]

Thanks for the video Jim. I think this is the second or third time I’ve used this specific video and it saves me ~$300 every time. It’s always great to be able to learn from a seasoned pro, especially the extra tips (stuck rotor screws) that would otherwise be skipped on a basic step by step.

[@DRIVER0051]

Jimmy, you reminded me of my high school auto tech teacher, Mr. Stinson. Great video. Thanks for uploading. I'm gonna share it with a Honda Accord owners group i used to belong to.

[@johnnyk617]

I’ve been a professional mechanic for a about a decade now and KZbin still suggests brake jobs to me lol. But I love watching another experienced tech work great instruction well done sir you just earned a sub

[@jimthecarguy]

Welcome Jay. I've been a mechanic for over 42 year and boy have things changed.Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.

[@vernvandam8956]

Great video! I’m not very mechanically inclined but I’m pretty sure I can tackle this. Very informative and the steps are very well explained.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching . Don't forget to subscribe.

[@wyattoneable]

Another video for the library! These are going to be great for future generations. I hope we get some young guys in the field, we need good technicians. I like the way you line up all the tools a person will need for the job.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you Wyatt,It makes the job go a little quicker when the tools are right there

[@keithanderson9903]

[@pjveal]

[@rmanor5508]

This is an excellent example of a how to vid, setup well and descriptive on everything. Good job 👍🏻

[@motioninz]

You’re an amazing teacher as well as mechanic thank you

[@RafaelRodriguez-il3bf]

"This flashlight sometimes flies across the room on its own." HAHAHA! I have a couple tools that do that as well.

[@dooski01]

Thank you. I saved 100$ on labor. Great tutorial.

[@richardruy9434]

Your video is awesome. You explain things like we've known each other for years. Thanks for the great video. Definitely a fan

[@seandiaz9410]

Thanks for the video I just saved a bunch of money by doing it myself god bless I only paid 28.99 all together now I just need to do the back brakes

[@andrewthompsonuk1]

An excellent guide to doing this job properly. I like how you put the lubrication under the hardware. I had to replace pads and discs due to rust under the hardware jamming a pad. It took a crowbar to remove it.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching

[@BoDuke73]

Thanks for the complete walk through. I really appreciate the level of detail.

[@peterleoni4762]

Excellent, I learned a ton watching this video, thank you for explaining every detail and all the great tips

[@mikenel1000]

I needed to thank you for your clear and descriptive explanation especially at the end when you described how the brake pedal will return , great job .

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad it helped!

[@MW-gh1mo]

I have a 2015 Accord, just changed the REAR pads, with Honda pads, their instructions say to swap the position of the 2 caliper slide bolts.

[@jonfindley1802]

Really Awesome DETAILED video.....THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrColinWarde]

Oh man, I can't wait to get my hands dirty working on this for my girlfriend. GREAT video, I love your voice and temperament.

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. Thank you for watching. If you need any advice just ask.

[@ramonmunoz7617]

Thank you very much for the video seems to be you are an honest and clean mechanic which is hard to find today most mechanics do a sloppy job

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.

[@Southpaw07]

Awesome video, thank you! i am about to get my rotors replace and can only hope my mechanic doesn't skip any of these steps. :( its all about the details

[@gloums]

Best tutorial I've seen yet, definitely subscribed. What are your thoughts on slotted rotors? Thank you.

[@jimthecarguy]

Truthfully I don't use them when I do a brake job at my shop . Don't forget Live stream on Sunday at 7:00 PM

[@ahraitch6218]

A really good video. Most everything covered and explained very well in easy to understand terms. I wish you had included a mention of brake fluid issues just to reassure those watching. Also, I would have likes more information on the silicon brake grease and a mention of anti-seize grease on the bolts. If nothing else just mentioning fluid and anti-seize eliminates uncertainty. I like the Amazon store feature. The video would have been improved by reference to it for the piston spreader tool (I bought one), the brake grease (I bought a can), and the impact driver (I bought one). Not criticizing, just suggesting. Great job! I subscribed and look forward to other vids.

[@stick4793]

Outstanding video- you just saved me A LOT of $$! Thank you for taking the tome to do this.

[@jimthecarguy]

Great to hear!

[@Glowingtomato]

Thanks for the video! I just replaced my rotors and pads on my 2015 Fit. This video was a good help

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad it helped

[@pauldstoltman]

Thanks for the simple and informative video you made. I've got two questions if you find the time. 1. I'm hoping this video would apply to a 2013 Honda Civic as well. According to other videos I've watched, it looks likely that it would? 2. You mentioned that if we needed torque specs that we could contact you for them. Either way, excellent video!! Thanks to real mechanics like yourself who help handy, yet amateurs like myself be able to do more things themselves, not only to save money but to feel a personal sense of accomplishment. Paul Stoltman

[@raymondpatuano6457]

Thanks Jim! Your vid was very detailed and thorough. I’ll follow along step by step when changing out my pads/rotors!

[@timd9430]

Such a PERFECT instructor. Now if everyone watches this, they'll never take their vehicle for $1000 brake jobs ever again. Easy breezy. $50 or less. Just requires a little hard work.

[@techprofessional3892]

Best explained video on rotors, hands down. Thankyou. Like if agree.

[@nonamegarage6721]

JIS (Japanese Imperial Screw)screwdriver for rotor screws works best.Thanks for the video

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching.

[@sanityone649]

JIS is Japanese Industrial Standard...just fyi.

[@qrs_tuv1925]

Excellent as always, love these.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you

[@Shaniloka369]

Well taught teaching what tools 🔧 to use too.

[@andyhubbard181]

Explained everything so well. Thanks mate

[@gjacampos]

Hey Jim, you didn’t mention in the video but before pushing the brake piston back into the caliper, do you open the brake fluid reservoir? Thanks for the video, I’ll be taking this project on this weekend.

[@BURTONizAjerK]

Did you bleed the brakes?

[@GTASpuds725]

Not sure about opening reservoir, but you may want to check the level of the reservoir.. If full, it will likely overflow when you push back piston... I use a turkey blaster to remove excess... Honda recommends replacing/flushing brake fluid every 3 years... Is not hard to do but alot easier with a second person

[@JC-wg4ce]

Very good, very detailed video. I'll be doing this step by step next weekend. Thank you

[@irvmartinez3645]

Nice tips to lose the screw thanks and to hang the caliper too

[@jimthecarguy]

You're very welcome!

[@andregraf3000]

Thanks Jim for this video! I haven’t change the breaks of my car in quite some time and I want to do it myself, this is a great guide! I don’t have a lot of tools but since I will save around $200 by doing it myself, I might as well buy some helpful tools like the impact driver! Do you have any preferences of break pads or rotors? I have a Honda Accord 2014 Sport

[@jimthecarguy]

I like the Monroe or the Wagner brakes. That is what I use in the shop.Thanks and good luck

Great video details. After putting brakes onto front bracket, I'm having problems putting the brake springs across the two pads and holding them into place while putting the caliper on. Any suggestions. I cannot find any information on reinstalling the springs? Thanks

[@Idiot1251]

Nice presentation and video camera work. I prefer to use either a Honda pad or an after market that has 3 sections instead of two like your supplier gave you. r

[@hilton8830]

Hi Jim: Can you please send me the tork specks on the calipers, I should buy a set of manuals. Thank you for having a fantastic delivering on the HOW TO. Best of all Hilton

[@gottas33]

Thanks for the video super helpful, what are the torque specs?

[@sanityone649]

For my 2012 Honda Civic LX Coupe...25 lb/ft on the front caliper bolts and 80 lb/ft on the front bracket bolts. Here's the result that I got for my car when I Googled torque specs for my 2012 Honda Civic LX Coupe: www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/civic/2012/4dr/civic_torque_specs.pdf The PDF listed most, but not all the torque specs for the car. Don't forget the lug nut torque specs...80 ft/lbs. Got that here: www.discounttiredirect.com/learn/wheel-torque#honda Hope this helps.
