Your neighbor is a lucky person. After the thousands of brakes jobs you've done over the years he can be certain this job was done correctly.

[@jimthecarguy]

Yes that is for sure . I can do them with my eyes closed.

Excellent details and thanks for mentioning those socket/wrench sizes, that's a bonus !

[@frankfromupstateny3796]

Nice, nice video. A real pro here. Listen...and listen well guys. This guy has prob. done 1000 break jobs. Like that hanger; perfect, or just cut a Clothing Hanger...making the "S" form....free.

[@peterm6128]

Jim, I really like your videos. I go to them often before I start an auto repair project. You give a lot of details and what to watch out for, and usually give very good camera angles and lighting so that we can see what is going on. You're the best. I just completed a very successful disks and rotors replacement (front and read) on my 2008 CRV thanks to your great guidance. Thank you! Peter

[@BlondieSL]

I'm glad that I watched this again, because for some reason, I thought that the axle nut had to be removed in order to replace the rotors. However, today, I did the rear brakes and rotors. While the car was up, I took off a front wheel just to see and it sure looked like the axle nut didn't need to be removed. This vid confirmed that as well as reminded me. LOL So perhaps I need to do the front brakes as well before the cold sets in.

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Great job Jimmy. I liked that you worked in your garage too. Thanks

[@mattappleyard92]

excellent video Jim, thanks from across the pond,

[@mrchican7179]

Thanks Jim...your videos are very good. Natural teacher. I hope you keep making them and that your channel brings in some cash for you.

[@jimthecarguy]

I appreciate that!

[@karldore8800]

Merci Jim! Une excellente vidéo! Très bien expliqué: clair et précis. J'ai procédé aux changements de mes freins avec vos conseils: un charme!!! A+++

[@danrowe79]

Excellent instruction and video. THANK YOU.

[@pppcguy]

Nice work. Thank you

[@schifoso]

2016 CR-V has pad spreaders. For rust bolts, PB Blaster works wonders. If you can pull the caliper off without trying to push the piston back first, I'd recommend not pushing the piston back first. You can then clean off the exposed piston (which can be layered in crud or rust). Put a thin film of brake fluid on the exposed part of the piston and then push them back into the caliper - the layer of oil makes pushing back the piston easier. Also, if you don't clean it, you're just pushing the crud back behind the seal. Finally, check your brake fluid reservoir level before pushing back the piston. If it's been topped off pushing back the pistons could overflow it.

Best brake video by far. Thanks !!!

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad you liked it!

[@danielbenninghoff9251]

I drive a 2015 Honda CRV. Next year I will be needing brake pads . I will replace them after watching your video. Great job!! Thank-you!!

[@thomastommy1192]

Great awesome video. As always you do great work. I hope you have a blessed week. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@gsnowakowski]

Good explanation, sir. Thank you.

[@jorgevilchis2217]

Amazing work!

[@91945punx]

Great video, Jim. Really appreciate it. Not quite the same as dad explaining it to me, but he's gone now... so you are a wonderful fill-in mechanic/ teacher. Thanks.

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EricSiGao]

Thank you for sharing. It’s great help

[@condor5635]

Great vid! I used a proper Philips head bit - not screwdriver - and banged with a hammer several times and some Kroil - 8 screws on all wheel came off easily after that with a screwdriver. Similar to what you did. I reused mounts after wire brush. Bosch mount we’re not identical to OEM and had little dog-ears that scraped. Should have those rotor removal bolts ready for use. Banging on the rotor not necessary. All rotors typically have the threaded holes. Great vid!

[@globalchaos1984]

Thanks for sharing ur knowledge, much appreciated!👌🏻

[@historichouseguy1]

Thanks Jim, great review as its been awhile since I've done a brake job. I noticed my wife's 2016 crv has some spring clips to retain the pads, have not seen that style before. should end any annoying rattle.

[@techguy9999]

great video and explanation, thanks

Great video. Thank you sir.

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad you liked it!

[@timthetoolman5522]

Well done. But did you remove fluid from the reservoir before pushing the caliper pistons back? If not, and the reservoir is fairly full, you will push the brake fluid back into the reservoir and it will overflow.

[@jeffhaze6548]

Jim thank you for the video. I accidentally loosened a brake line bolt and quickly tightened it. However some fluid did leak out. Should I now have the brake lines bled for air? I also noticed a small amount of fluid from the master cylinder when done. I assume this is from compressing the Pistons for the new pads? Thanks Jeff

[@jimpie231]

Good video. I have a 2009 Honda CR-V, which pin goes on top & bottom, both in the front & back (smooth & 3 sided)? I’ve watched a bunch of videos and I’m confused.......Jim

[@JMORONTA]

Thanks 💪🏼🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@henrydu9982]

you should use jack stand for safety. Good video

[@SuperVarunan]

I tightened the guide pins but for some reason there's still some play when I move around the caliper itself. I tried tightening it down more and I snapped the guide pin bolt in the the guide pin and had to replace it. Is it normal for the caliper to have some play once it's installed?

[@encoreone]

Hi, my crv has single piston brake caliper, does this doble piston brake calipers would fit in my 2007 crv without any trouble ?

[@sidmanga273]

Hi Jim is it necessary to bleed before installing pads and rotors?

[@jacksongil9123]

Do you have video on how to change lug nut

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I like watching your jobs Jim. Do you know of any common maintenance issues with the 2006 Ford 500 that I should watch for? Thanks, John

[@jimthecarguy]

The most important thing to do is change your oil regularly. Thanks for watching. Im happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.

[@huskyng6981]

do you always have to change the front brake too, because I just find only 1 passenger rear brake pad and rotor bad...the small shop mechanic told me to change both rear rotor and pad...but dealer told me to change all 4 front and rear...

[@rsaldana2310]

Which is caliper torque bolt?

[@marcdun2814]

Thanks

[@jimthecarguy]

Happy to help!

[@rakeshautorules]

is the brake pad same for 3rd and 4rth gen

[@senihabaharoff1016]

Jim, thank you for the video, it's a nice clean job, if I was a Honda dealer I'll make you my manager. That grease you using, is that a white grease?

[@Cynical2012]

My new rotor drags a bit, any advice?

[@ianoswin7457]

Great vid jim! Is it any different doing the back rotors and pads? Haven’t seen anyone do those.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thanks for watching.

[@howardschwartz1538]

Jim, I noticed that you're using a scissor jack as a jack stand. Is it recommended to do so?

[@jimthecarguy]

Actually it is not a good idea but is better than nothing. I was not at the shop i was working at home. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe.

[@duckflynn3849]

he has the caliper guide pins on wrong the one with the notch with the rubber grommet goes on the bottom

[@elizabethlear9720]

Are the retainer clips part of the missing hardware?

[@rodm140]

good question

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Anti-Sieze all mating surfaces and bolts

[@realname6586]

If you use lubricant on bolt threads, you have to decrease the torque setting or else you'll be overtightening the bolts.

[@palerider6099]

Mine has clips and an extra plate why?

[@rambo2981]

Good descriptive audio but the video could be better with close-ups and better light.

[@ktp4813]

Thanks for the video! You have a NYC/Long Island Accent. You from any of these areas?

[@jimthecarguy]

Close I'm from New Jersey.Thanks for watching.

[@brickswisher7672]

oi oi oi

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

Couldn't the problem of shuddering have been solved by turning the rotors?

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Leave the small screws out

[@tripjet999]

Brake fluid should be changed and brakes need to be bled, though.

[@aholecop5547]

this is a $1000-$1300 job in my town

[@ttdelta2]

OMG! Where you live?

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

Sure beat the hell out of it,lol. Next time use a threaded bolt in the face of the rotor to separate it . Way to aggressive here.

[@bodgitandleggitgarage]

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you Leon

[@wesleymiller4856]

That’s not a 2015 that 2007-2011

[@vascothomas586]

If you are a mechanic and you have a garage how come you didn't do the job by lubricating the sliding pins taking them out cleaning them and lubricating them that's a very important part I wouldn't take my car to your garage.

[@jimthecarguy]

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Did you see at 15:59 where I took the pins out cleaned and siliconed them and then reinstalled?
