We just did it use the proper pin, grease. Thank you for your video. Saved us a lot of money. Our brakes were dragging for a while had no idea what it was too. I saw your video.

Absolutely excellent video. And now I have to go pull all four wheels on my Honda CRV, pull the calipers, and pull out the pins just to clean and lube them. But it's the right thing to do..

Again, this is an excellent video. You got right to the point. No babbling. No extraneous BS. You just showed what need to be done and you did it. Absolutely perfect.

Your 100% right. I recently pulled apart my front and rear brakes on my used and same deal, looks like the last guy that worked on the brakes just slapped pads on and threw the wheels back on. I removed slider pins, used the correct rubber grease sold by Toyota for the sliders/boots, removed the retainer clips, de-rusted and now the pads and sliders are all moving freely. Unfortunately, in the flat rate world, the only way to get a proper job is to do it yourself.

Excellent video. And very good tip about the caliper pins. One with flat surfaces and the other completely round. This video made it very clear how the pins come out and the importance of not mixing them up.

The rubber ring goes on the leading edge pin to stop rattle from initial contact with the rotor. It's a rattle dampener for the pin, and not interchangeable with the other pin, you are right.

However, the 'leading edge' changes depending on whether the caliper is in front of the wheel or located behind it, right or left side, which would change orientation of that 'special' slide pin. For instance, on the driver side front, the pin would be lower hole, but if the caliper were on the back of the wheel, its orientation would be top of the caliper.

For example, my 2006 Honda Accord, calipers are in front of the wheel in the front and behind the wheel in the back. For this reason, the pins may SEEM in the wrong place, but are actually where they belong. If in doubt, check them against the manual for a job affecting that wheel/that side, or compare with old pins when replacing with new calipers. But since parts are generally pulled based on OEM specs at the parts store, the boxed part probably has it right. (tho granted, not ALWAYS)

Don't want to get too creative with a brake job. :D

[forbiddenforest]

wow, what a great overview. Our calipers seize up over winter in Cumbria, northern England every year but garages are too lazy to clean pins, they just replace the whole caliper and charge a fortune. This is so generous of you. good luck and good health,

[jimthecarguy]

Great advice for anyone doing brakes to make sure and lube the slid pins.

[anonymousnoname]

Thank you for posting this video. There are way too many videos posted by individuals and companies that manufacture greases, which provide incorrect information.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great tips on slide pins will definitely help somebody looking for help on there Honda's

[realname]

God bless brother, I wish all mechanics worked like you.

One of my slide pins were siezed. Had to beat it out with a pry bar and hammer. Then spay a bunch of wd40 inside it and work the pin in and out till all the dirt and old grease was gone. Then put in new grease. Good to go.

100% Silicone paste is the only thing I'll use anymore! I used Silglyde forever until I used them on those Honda's pins with the rubber bushings. Made them swell and had to replace the bushings a few years later.

[johnscerbo]

Great video iam dealing with this issue ordered parts and the specific lubricant for the pins

[homuraakemi]

Does anyone know how to determine which is which if they've already possibly been mixed up?

[ErickRaffai]

Thank you so much Big Dog. Great video as always. So informative and precise.

[tedcook]

So much good info in your videos esp for us honda folks

[kollegeman]

I had no idea mixing them up would be an issue. The pins on my car looks very much identical with no difference. Since lately I've been noticing alittle vibration braking at speeds above 60. I check the rotors but they arent warped. Ran my fingers on them and felt no groove at all, so today I'll get to work n lube the slide pins maybe change brake pads. Thanks big dog 🐕

[obee]

i have a 02 honda civic 1.7 witch slider pin with the anti-rattle device/ rubber piece go on top or bottom

[kingfish]

Thanks Big Dog great video. I used Sil-Glyde by AGS to grease caliper pins and clips. Great product and it doesn’t harden.
