HONDA CIVIC REAR BRAKES REPLACEMENT - Changing Brake Pads and Rotors on a 2017 Honda Civic. So easy!

In this video I film my buddy change rear brake pads and rotors on a 2017 Honda Civic. Rear brake replacement on a Honda Civic is really easy. Do it yourself and save money!

NOTE: My buddy really rushed this job. So here are a few things that I forgot to film and you should do. 1) Clean and grease the slide pins / caliper bolts before reinstalling them. Those are the are the ones you took off using the 7mm Hex Socket. 2) Sand down, clean and grease the hub before you install the new rotors. 3) Sand down, clean and grease the caliper where the brake pads get installed.

I hope this video helped you. Please don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. Thanks for Watching!

What about the electronic parking brake pigtail important to mention

[MrBanacek]

Good job. You even finished before the Homeowner's Association was able to get out and take pictures of you working in your driveway.

Waiit so I don’t need the scan tool to compress the electronic brakes ????

[flavrdPnut]

I was told if you have the electronic E brake it it has to be professionally calibrated. Is this true or can a DIYer handle it? They want $260 for only rear pads!

[XGhost_GunX]

I have a brake light on how do I fix that now? I manually decompressed the rear break like in the video

[markto]

Good job. The only thing i will say is with the new civics you need the programer to put the civic in service mode for the electronic parking brake system or you can do by hand. I will tell anyone doing the rear brakes to get the manual as this newer cars are now more sensitive cause the dealer wants you to bring the cars to them like john deere and BMW. To reset the electronic brake before you compress the brake cylinder remove the EBS which is the black part then you will see a cyclinder metal/brass rod that you need to rotate clockwise gently till the EBS is flushed or not able to turn then compress the brake cyclinder with the brake fluid cap off. Then once done read the manual how to get the EBS in operating level forgot.

What is the size of the Allen key to open the caliper ?

[mrunning]

what about the electronic parking brake? did you put it in "service mode?" ignore it? crank it back manually? (did not see you do this in the video) just press the piston back into the caliper and hope the electric solenoid on the parking brake won't break?

[gregorygambrell]

Where do I buy the tool you used to decompress the piston

[gasperooch]

You saved me hours of work. Thank you!

[jjpc]

Wait so u don’t put the rotor screw back on?

The electric e brake part is missing or did i miss something

[mke]

Was there a wire harness that you had to take off because of the electric parking brake

[tristandoyle]

My bracket is not going back on, I'm missing like a 1/4"

[pyramidion]

This video is breaking peoples cars and you still leave it up? The way the caliper is compressed in this video is completely wrong. Several commenters have noted parking brake lights coming on and expensive repairs needed after following the instructions provided in this video.

[tdrewman]

How long before you Brake warning light came on? Unless you got lucky, you trashed your e-brake servos

[rebeccatoth]

Best practice is NOT to drill out the rotor retaining screw. Get an impact driver from the local parts store. Likely you'll strip the screw if you try using a screwdriver. It's true the screw isn't essential but it holds the rotor straight when you are reinstalling the back bracket and caliper.

[lilinu]

Short simple and to the point, my kind of walkthrough, thanks

[anthonyz]

Did that tool keep you from having to remove and reset the parking brake seperately? I assume by it rotating as it is compressed does this?

[markhyde]

DO NOT WATCH THIS VID to change your rear brakes. Mechanically they may have done it right but the video fails to mention putting it in service mode. I used this video and now I have to pay over $300 for a new actuator. ITS THIS REASON my problem is worse than it was. Also you’ll need an expensive scanner to turn it off so yeah. Whoever made this vid really sucks rn
