2003-2007 Honda Accord Front Brakes remove and install rotors and pads

[@eaglescout9901]

My son has a CRV and I couldn't get those stupid screws of the rotor. I never knew the hand held impact screwdriver existed. Tomorrow at 8am I am at Harbor Freight for 8.99, this will do the trick. Thank you for shedding the light on something so simple, after 40 years, I could use a new tool.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

hehe, you can use a regular screw driver too, but it won't turn like the impact driver and breaks easily. Also you can hammer away with the impact driver too :D

[@BuffaloRhino31]

This is a great video, taught my 16yr old daughter how to change the brakes on this vehicle. Very clear, good directions, camera angle. Description of the lubricants would have been helpful. Good job.

[@eaglescout9901]

We are done, here is a recap. The impact screwdriver did the trick on all 4 Phillips head screws, BUT the low quality driver head lost its shape as we twisted, got er done. Glad I saw your idea of the two 8mm bolts to screw into the face of the rotor, we had to do that too! I was once a metals inspector and as I tightened the bolt heads I saw a hairline crack start, well we were in it now. More tightening and more cracking of the rotor. Used Parts Blaster and waited 10 minutes, then came out Grandpa's 4' sledge hammer, a couple wacks on the back of the rotor and the front and BAM cracked it in half but now off. The new rotor slid on easy as did the pads, in no time on the road. We are going to wait a bit to do the back. Thanks again for posting and sharing your experience.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

wow... those rotors must be really old or the rotors are rusted to be broken in half... I guess you gotta do more brake lubing and maintenance more often to prevent rust build up and keep them squeaky clean :). Glad everything worked out for you. I would suggest investing in some better impact screws if it was stripped out of its shape... we got ours from Snap-On, but you can buy them from Craftsman, or MatcoTools. Nice work!

[@Cor66Vette]

This is the most comprehensive and no nonsense tutorial on brake pad replacement I've yet to view. Great video. Thank you

[@NutzAboutBolts]

thank you

[@ande6878]

Good video...very informative and explanatory. Better than other videos that don't show how it's done. You communicated with the audience very well. You mentioned the brake fluid...I would say to remove or loosen the resorvoir cap for the brake fluid and use a syringe to remove the excess brake fluid.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Andrew Addison thx!

[@blooknaburg]

I needed a refresher/just to make sure I knew what I was doing so I can help a friend and this video was perfect! Thank you!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

nice! glad we could help refresh your memory :)

[@edgarhernandez4529]

I think it's best to always do a brake fluid flush too along with new brakes and rotors

[@freedomfreakazoid]

Excellent video. He only shows you what you need to know assuming you have some basic auto repair skills. Pay attention to his comments about lubricating the pads. It will keep your brakes quiet.

[@williamt1853]

Great Video. I have done my pads before many times. Your video shows the novice exactly how easy it really is. I did as you did pushing the caliper back with master cover loose. But someone suggested a hose on the bleeder and draining that caliper fluid which is a great idea. Jus refill the master and complete bleeding. Well done.,

[@Ctownaz10]

Some good tips here! For one I didnt know about the bolts you can screw into the rotors to help loosen them. And two, although I know anytime you touch rotors you want them to be clean before installing new pads, I just would not have thought to clean the brand new rotors before putting them on. Thanks man!

[@rickdaddy]

Great video. Heading out to do mine now. Thanks man! *Update: Just got done and it was super easy. I used the old rotors and pads as a lever to push in the piston with a flathead driver successfully. Also, the old pads didn't have shims, but I got the Duralast Max and they have the shims already attached. My cost was around $200 with premium parts, lube, and cleaner.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Ricardo Herrera Jr nice, grats on the job well done. Kinda weird your old pads didn't have shims though, someone could've forgot to put it back in or something.

[@dbg567]

Dude, I followed everything you said here and just finished replacing my front brake pads and rotors on my 2006 Honda Accord. You explained everything perfectly. The video shows everything really well, too. The one thing that made it difficult was one of the screws became stripped on the rotor so I ended up drilling it out. And some of the bolts were really stuck bad. But, thanks again for an excellent instructional video.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

dbg567 nice, the screws that was stripped, you can just hand tight it back on when you replace it. It doesn't need to be on too tight, and make sure to put some of that copper anti seize on the stuck bolts so that next time when you remove it, it'll be easier.

[@mhamrin5906]

Just bought an 07. Feel warped rotors when braking...now I'm going to change them out myself and save the cash...maybe i'll put the money into a cold air intake. Very good quality and concise video. Thanks to you!!!

[@danthiessen9958]

I followed the video instructions to the T and this was a very smooth brake and rotor replacement. Very clear instructions and great video.

[@madjwills9045]

Dan Thiessen did you purchase the impact screwdriver?

[@danthiessen9958]

Madjwills I didn’t need to as the previous place that did my brakes did not reinstall the rotor hold down screw. I have used a hammer impact screw driver before and the work pretty good.

[@tommasz13]

Holy moly, those rotors and calipers looks so good comparing to my ones. There is so much rust on my ones, can't believe :O Good and clean job!

TheDesoulateEntity lol thanks!

[@hitman6191]

Great Video, but like others have said, i would recommend drilling out the set screw. 3/8" bit and a drill.

[@HanksDeuce]

Great video. I recommend using anti-seize on the 2 rotor screws to help prevent corrosion and make them easier to come out in the future. I had to use a hammer driver on my rotor retaining screws at 28k miles in order to pull off the slightly warped rotors and get them turned.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

HanksDeuce wow... your vehicle is really worned down on the brakes side. Our vehicle didn't have rust, could also be because we are in California away from the salt water and/or ice. Just certain places get rust, but its always good to be safe than sorry. So putting anti seize lube is good. Make sure to throw those warped rotors away.

[@jabberwookie1404]

Good video on how to do a basic brake job. Nice that you're protecting your skin from the harsh chems and residue also.Another tip is when you are pushing the cylinder back into the caliper, open the brake bleeder and run a hose from it to a container. Inside the caliper is the worst environment for brake fluid collecting water (from the cylinder gap) and some nasty stuff from the heat involved. Pushing that stuff BACK into your lines is bad. I usually also take the extra step of replacing all fluid with a cheap harbor freight vacuum bleeder kit that is like less than $35. I can remove and replace all fluid and it really makes a difference in longevity and pedal feel. Cheers to a job well done!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

that's interesting, will do that next time.

[@jbuilds1]

one question, do you remember what size bolt you had to push the rotor off if its rusted on?

[@claygrigg9474]

I also need to know

[@wassupjamesd]

the bird noises are an added calming bonus to the video. LOL. did you use the shims from the old pads? i didn't see them when you installed the new pads.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+wassupjamesd no, the new brake pads had shims on them already. But if you bought the OEM brake pads from Honda, you'll need the old shims.

[@TonyKaz]

6:15 "Now Im gonna put ...the panzig" ? I was trying to see where you used the silicone paste and where you used the anti-seize paste. I'm presuming that was the silicone and that you used the anti-seize on the caliper pistons. Do I really need 2 different kinds of grease here?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes, both lube does different things for the brakes.

[@deltech61]

Very good, doubt that many shops would do as complete a job. (lubing the pins, cleaning and lubing the contact/slides of the caliper mounting bracket) If you aren't aware, it is important that the pads can easily move away from the rotors when the brakes are released.

[@dukhunter1972]

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Completed the job, but not sure why it's still squealing ...

[@NutzAboutBolts]

did you anti seize and lubed all the hardware? most squeal problems are by not properly lubing the brake hardware.

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Actually skipped that step, might have to go back & try that.

[@AWP1976]

Hello great video, with the help of your video I was successfully able to do my 2007 Honda Accord Special Edition V6 front brakes and rotors, I now need to do the rear, do you have an instructional video for that, thank you

[@mtsflorida]

Nice clean job. Wish more mechanics were as neat and cautious as well as smart. There are a couple of things. Careful how you move the brake cylinder. You don't want to kink or stress the hose. It's always good to put a touch of lubricant on your screws or bolts before removing. Everything else was perfect.

[@MakeItHappen223]

Great video only question is I thought those pistons supposed to be turned clockwise not compressed, but as I can see it looks like either works

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Usually if your rear brake system are calipers, then it’s the one that uses the cube to turn them in, like the 2012 Prius we did.

[@MakeItHappen223]

@@NutzAboutBolts you think I’ll be good with an open end wrench or needle nose pliers? Or even a flat head screw driver?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@MakeItHappen223 you can try using a flat head screw driver by prying and pressing against the brake pads while it’s on, hard to explain. Or you can use a big C clamp while using the brake pads against the piston to push it in

[@gr8dane22]

Thanks for the video, man. I'm about to do this to my 2003 Honda Accord EX today. Also, I didn't know they had a tool to push the caliper back in. Thats way easier than what I had to use to push the back caliper in previously. I bought a tool same day from amazon. SCORE

[@NutzAboutBolts]

nice, there's another one that's easier than that tool. I think we used it in one of our video but forgot the name of it.

You mention 3m anti seize & 3m silcone paste under tools, where do you use the anti seize and where do you use the silcone paste? Please answer.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Roc Nazione You put the anti seize in the back of the brake pads shims, as for the silicone paste, you put it on the caliper sliding pins.

[@MALEKHAFIZ]

Very informative, just forgot which lubricant or anti seize to apply of which part/bolt ?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Silicone lube on the sliding pins. Anti seize on the brake pad shims and brake hardware.

[@kevintran6482]

Great video! One question. what is the tool called that you used to press in the piston at 7:05 mark of the video? Where can I purchase this tool or what is the alternative if I don't have this tool?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Kevin Tran It's called the Caliper piston depressor, you can buy it at any autstore, the alternative tool you can use is a C-clamp.

[@losxlakers]

One sliding pin has a rubber boot on it. Does it matter if they switch location? I cleaned and lubed both sliding pins and re inserted them without paying attention to which side they were in.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

They’re interchangeable.

[@losxlakers]

That's what a master tech I know told me. He said he's sure he's sometimes accidentally swapped them and never had an issue. Then he told me it's important to pay attention to those sort of things so that made me worried. Another tech I know said it's important. I called my local Honda dealer and asked the parts guy. He said on the diagram it shows the sliding pin with the grommet goes on top. Thank you guys.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Great video, easy to follow, but do you have any advice for me because I cannot get my wheel off it seems to be stuck to the rotor...please help

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Roc Nazione try using an impact wrench or a breaker bar to loosen the lug nuts.

[@rocnazione192]

No. I think you misunderstood me. I was able to get the lug nuts off, I just couldn't pull the wheel off the rotor...

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Roc Nazione you need the 8.25 screws to screw into the 2 holes of the rotors like we showed in the video to get it off, or you can use a hammer and hit between the wheel studs on the rotor to break the rust off... just becareful.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Roc Nazione okay, I think I misread your comment. You can try kicking the wheel or you can use rust penetration on the lug nut area on the studs and see if it'll come off once the fluid soaked into the studs.

[@rocnazione192]

Thanks for the advice. I really do appreciate your quick response. I'll try Liquid wrench or WD40

[@rhdtv2002]

On the rotor screws, would you lubricator them before installation?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

[@hadiomairah]

@@NutzAboutBolts thanks so much for the answer

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Hadi Omairah if the slotted rotors doesn’t help with your braking, you might need a different caliper to push more brake fluid to help stop better.

[@derekrowlands1189]

Great video tutorial, do you know what size the brake bleed nipple is?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

10mm in the front, 8mm in the rear.

[@maolo76]

Do I need to worry about ABS systems? Is torqueing require for the bolts of calipilar? Is it just hand tight the two screws for Rotors?

[@steeler1983]

How do I know to replace the rotors too? Mine kind of look like the first one you took off. Will it cause more wear if I continue using a slightly rusted rotor? A NAPA shop offered to turn them if they are still usable. Sorry, trying to save a little money if I can.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

When you step on the brake pedal and they start pulsating, it’s time to service the rotors and pads. Turning them will cost less if you have the thickness to cut them. Compare the cost to turning or replacing and see which one will save you money in the long run. I always recommend changing out the pads if you can as well because it’s been scored and damage by the old rotors. Good luck.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Matz z yeah sounds like the brake pads or rotors that is causing the noise. If the rotors are cheaper than turning/cutting the rotors then just replace the rotors. Do a complete swap of the pads and rotors if its cheap.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+lsnead1 not sure the size and thread, but you can purchase them at the dealer. You don't need them on there since the bracket is holding it in place.

[@joet4806]

Great Video! Outstanding! V Good Lighting! Just an idea to make it a little better: on Rotor,: apply a tab of never seize to the 2 small screws & 2 bolt holes ( to preserve threads) to make removal easier next time. Did the 2 old pads have different wear thicknesses? if so, slider Pin lube was exhausted.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yup, you are correct that we should put anti seize on the 2 bolts. It wasn't rusted so we just hand tighten it, but if it was bad, I would put it. As for the brake pads, it was kinda worn uneven, but we still want to lube the sliding pins regardless if it's even or not, it's good practice :) thanks for the comment!

change both sides then pump brakes once you're done.

[@tommalczyk3684]

Hi and thanks for this video. I have a question. I replaced my drivers side lower ball joint on my 06 Accord EX-L 4cyl and took off the caliper/mounting bracket as one piece to gain access (just slid it off in one piece and didn’t remove the rotors or pads) The two bolts unscrewed fine but after the Lower ball joint was securely in ,I tried to get the two bolts back in on the caliper and they would not secure back in tightly at all (thought I had perhaps stripped em . I tried sanding sanded the holes as well but didn’t help) Then I saw you had to push a piston in on your video. If I simply removed the mounting bracket still attached to the caliper in one piece and just set it on something so it wouldn’t hang and then put it back on was that likely the issue? (The fact that the piston needed to be pushed back before the bolts would line up and tighten securely??) thanks!

[@mugendough4508]

Is it the same thing for the back breaks?

[@bensvideos1222]

two questions: When compressing the cylinder, do you need to take the top off the reservoir? If so, isn't the fluid going to pour out? Do you recommend using slotted and/or cross drilled rotors?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Ben's videos you don't have to remove the reservoir cap, but you should remove the cap so you can drain the excessive brake fluids so it'll prevent it from dripping over. Slotted is for performance, if your vehicle is a sports car or has a big brake system, then slotted would be good for stopping. The downsize to slotted is that its expensive, and you can't cut/turn the rotors when its worn down, as oppose to the regular rotors. Same with cross drilled rotors, same situation.

[@losxlakers]

3 days after I did this a caliper mounting bracket bolt was missing and the caliper was scraping the top of my rotor and banging against the inside of the rim. It was so loud and scary I pulled over and I didn't drive the car until I got a new bolt in there. If you do this job yourself please be careful. I don't know if I forgot to put it on or it wasn't that tight and came off because I was sitting on the floor while tightening it, and I wasn't using good leverage to tighten it.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Los Lakers ouch, yeah, always double check your work when doing brakes. We’re glad you didn’t get into an accident.

[@losxlakers]

Thanks guys! I posted a comment on the rear drums video. I'm trying to adjust them but I have to pull the e brake handle all of the way up for them to grab. I've heard about adjusting the nut in the center console. I'll be looking into that soon. Can you guys PLEEEASE do a rear conversion to disc brakes video??? I wish I can afford to buy the parts and send them to you guys to make the video. I hate drum brakes.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Los Lakers converting it to rear disc is even costly... we won’t be able to do it. Sorry... As for adjusting the rear drums. You should only hear 6-7 clicks when you pull the parking brake. You use the stat adjuster to extend or retract the brake shoes.

Thanks for the video, great angles and really appreciate all of the information. But I do have one question, on your parts list you have a clear silicone paste. I’ve now watch the video multiple times and I don’t know if I’ve missed where you’re using it. Can you or anyone else clear up if and for what this clear silicone piece is for and if it is truly needed.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

The silicone paste is used for the caliper sliding pins, it’s used to prevent the pins from seizing which can cause uneven wear of the brake pads because the caliper piston goes in and out from braking.

[@AlMERderYa]

NutzAboutBolts and long as it’s a clear silicone paste should work? They didn’t have the one you listed.

What is the size of the brake discs 296 or 320?

[@Corkoth55]

i notice you didn't mention if you crack open the brake fluid reservoir to relieve pressure when you retract the piston. and i see you didn't put the shim back on the new pads.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

didn't crack open the brake fluid reservoir, new pads already had shims on them.

[@Corkoth55]

WELL FINE THEN. lmao! definitely supposed to crack the reservoir cap or preferably the bleeder screw. life goes on tho.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

:D to each their own, haven't had any issues doing it this way, but if we do, we'll let you guys know for sure :)

[@Corkoth55]

NutzAboutBolts no worries! i'm sure it would be fine i pushed fluid back towards the reservoir on my old car with the cap unscrewed. apparently a big no no... lmao

What is the paste that you're putting on the tips and center of the pads? Caliper lube? Is it necessary to change the caliper adjustment clips? Thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

its called anti-seize (copper lube), you want to lube the brake hardware with that and the clear lube (silicone paste) is for the sliding pins.

[@Syn-fr7jh]

NutzAboutBolts thanks for the quick response. How about the clips? Is it necessary to change them?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

if the brake hard ware comes with the brake pads, you might as well change them, unless you don't and want to reuse them, you can as well. Just clean them up.

[@mgarcia0851]

Do you have to lube contact points on the break pads?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes with anti seize lube.

[@trippinmangos5869]

What do u clean the rotor with, does it matter if I just use some alcohol wipes I have?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Must have acetone in there. I’m sure the alcohol wipes fine. You just want to get rid of the oil that’s coated on the rotors.

[@p3lonlopez345]

NutzAboutBolts do you take off the lid to the caliber reservoir or just leave it closed? I'm doing the brake pads on a 03 in the morning. Got every thing just wanted to double check. Thanks man.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Ryan Lopez you don't have to take the lid off, but do make sure the fluids not too full, or else when you compress the caliper piston, it'll over flow the reservoir.

[@MALEKHAFIZ]

what about the holding clip? they not supposed to change ?

[@SicknTwistedx]

Another question what did you use to lube the pins ?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

It’s in the description box

[@ninoechavez1402]

Hi man, does shuddering on the break pedal when breaking point to the front or rear rotor that needs changing?thanks

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes, It means the rotors or pads have run-outs or uneven grooves on them that causes the pulsations when brakes are applied.

[@ninoechavez1402]

@@NutzAboutBolts does it have to be the front rotors or could be rear as well?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@ninoechavez1402 it can happen to the front and rear. Inspect the rotors and drums and pads to see if there’s any wear and tear that looks abnormal. You will need a dial indicator to see if it’s within specs or not.

[@josepina3960]

Good morning, question. What kind of lubricant you use for the pins? I know for the screw and others spot use antizeise but for the guide pins i don’t know whats lubricant is. Thanks.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

silicone lubricant. All the info is in the description box.

[@reyzerzedge]

I don't have an impact screwdriver, I tried spraying the screw head with WD-40 and heating up the bolt and the rotor with a mini torch to possibly loosen the bolt and the rotor around the screw but no result. You have any suggestions? If not, I know I've got to go get myself an impact driver. I don't want to damage the mounting screw with my cross tip screw driver.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+Rey Villorante you can use a regular screw driver and use a hammer and act like its a impact screw. The only difference is that the screw driver is stationary but it'll eventually turn. Try that.

[@greenpea9412]

I have a question; That grease you used to lube the pads at the touch points. It looked gold colored. What is that called on the can? Also I could not tell if that was same grease you used on those long bolts you pulled out that had rubber boots. Was that the same grease or was it a different type? Thank you for the video.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Greenpea the ones on the pads are anti seize, the ones on the bolt was silicone grease, both of them can be found in the description box with links to them.

[@greenpea9412]

Perfect thank you so much.@@NutzAboutBolts

[@anthonyguillen6229]

what brand of tools do you have I like that breaker bar and impact screwdriver

[@NutzAboutBolts]

the breaker bar is from Snap-On... and the impact screw driver is either MatcoTools or Snap-On. They are both very expensive brand... but if I had to choose for quality and less money, I would go with MatcoTools since their tools are nice and cheaper than Snap-On, but better than Craftsman and anything below that, such as Husky, Milwaukee etc. etc.

[@anthonyguillen6229]

+NutzAboutBolts thank you I'll look into it

[@vicjojola205]

Is this the same process for a 2007 accord v6 coupe?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes

[@scotturner3178]

Thanks for the great video. Concise and to the point.
