rear disk brake Job how to

[bran1har]

On a lot of cars with rear disc brakes, you cannot just sqeeze in the rear brake piston. You instead must use a tool that will twist the piston while compressing it, such as a rear brake cueb tool or brake tool set that has this twisting compressing tool in it. Otherwize you will severly damage the piton. But this is just on the rear discs tht have the parking brake, ABS. Just a tip.

Thank you for showing how to do this! In this economy there are more of us becoming "DIY". As a lady with mechanical abilities I appreciate you detailing how to do it. You saved me spending another $200 to $300 at my mechanic. If I can do it myself it is like I'm being paid to work on my own car. Keep the videos coming and ignore the comments some are making. They probably wish they thought of it first!

Thanks again!!!

I have thought about sending you a check. Really. I viewed this video a few weeks ago and then again every few weeks. The nagging feeling that I needed to get started was growing. I changed the ATF and then the rear dif (CRV 2005). I went to the auto parts store and bought the front and rear pads. I watched this while my 2 year old napped, and...I did it. I want to thank you so much. I haven't felt so empowered since, well, won't go into that. I really thank you. Blessings-J

@TheJspring2 that means the world, right there. and glad I was of help. I always look back at my work, as notes. See one, do one, teach one.

do you not have to bleed the brakes? cheers

[fishycomics]

@capelde  the answer is 50/50 there are times you cn get away, and there are times you should. 2 ,3 pushs curers the air.

No anti-squeal compound on the shims?

[fishycomics]

this looks like from queens, nyc

[shinkane]

nice video :)

but shouldnt you have disconnected the lines and bled them before removing the calipers ?

[fishycomics]

ty. no b/c I am not going any further wit hthe calipars, that is why there is a bleeder valve made for this. ifreplacing the calipar you'll remove the line, and still have to bleed through the bleeder valve

Howdy and thanks for an excellent video. I'm certain I can now change my pads. I really appreciate the work you've gone to in making this information available.

[PacoOtis]

[e38bimmer]

Great clip! It is a great tutorial and based on this I will try to do my first job on my car's brakes! I hope you do more of these DIY videos on how to maintain your car.

[orangestoneface]

no springs or clips holding the pads on the rear brake, I thought that was missing on my vectra, to push pads from rotor, pads touch rotor and it doesnt roll freely

[fishycomics]

thanks thetrockk

[TheTrockk]

Thank you, found that very usefull. Excellent quality video and editing.

[mollyboy]

A very good tutorial!

[fishycomics]

no special tool old pad on and squeeze with water pump hands or C-clamp. I am still able to squeeze with my hand, but takes so long lol thanks

[coepe08]

Thanks. Replaced the front pads last week and just assumed a special tool was required for the rear brakes. Great video.

[coepe08]

I have a Honda 2003 CRV EX. Per your video, replacing the rear discs is the same as replacing the front discs. You don't need a special tool to compress the rear pistons? For some vehicles this is the case due to the parking brake.

[fishycomics]

thank you

Good tips, especially on lubricating the slider pins. Nice idea to use a mirror for different angles and view. Good work, Thank you!
