Tutorial on how to change brake pads on 2003 Honda Pilot

Good Job on this video, but I see 2 problems that should be noted. First is that you didn't service the caliper bracket. This is critical to new pad life.
You need to remove the pad clips and clean under them with a file or wire brush to remove all the rust that will hold the pads from sliding freely and you need to remove and relube the slide pins from the mount. 2nd you forgot to mention that you need to pump the pedal before you try to move the car so that you won't hit anything.

thanks for the tips!

Excellent job on the video. I've done brakes a handful of times before but I always like to prepare for the job. This gives the experienced DIY'er what you need do the job. Thanks!

glad i could help!

Hey guys...I have an 06 Honda Accord EX 2.4...its been 3.5 years since I bought the car and haven't changed my brake pads since! Now...I HAVE to coz they are squeaking...now to change the brake pads they are charging me about $480 parts AND labor! But if I buy the ceramic break pads online I'm getting all four for under $80! so...is the cost of labor worth it?
Any response appreciated!

umm...yes? youd be saving $400 in labor charges from whoever you got that quote, so i'd say thats worth it.

so you are saying that they charging me $480 is WORTH it? i guess my question was confusing...I was asking if its worth it to pay $480 to get it replaced or can i get it done for a cheaper deal! I have NEVER changed anything in my car on my own so...rather inexperienced!
The other thing is...the rear brake pads...are they harder to change coz of the emergency brake?

$480 for a brake change is a hugeeeeee rip off. id never ever pay that much. labor to change front brake pads should be more than 1 1/2 hours of labor, so maybe $100-$150 in labor. rears are basically the same, just put the ebrake down first.

thanx for the helpful video--i have an odyssey and i wish the caliper bolts came off as easily as yours! I twist the rotor to get better leverage, and I drilled out those pesky screws that rust the rotor to the rotor plate.

no problem!
