Hello everybody! Good day to you! Welcome back! Glad you guys are here. What do we got going on outside? Looks like uh, an Audi or a Jaguar or something being delivered on a tow truck. Interesting. Anyway, let's go a fair of mine.
I'm going over here. back to our 2008 Honda Civic 1.3 liter hybrid 4-cylinder with eight spark plugs. we're on video numeral dose on this particular hybrid. Honda We're gonna go ahead and pull these front wheels off, inspect the brakes.
We're gonna pull the rear wheels off and start the brakes. If you recall from the first video which the link is down in this video's description, you will find that this car was at a Honda dealership recently and they said something about meeting some front brakes. so we're going to follow up on that. Also, like I said, we're going to check the rears and we'll go from there.
So stay tuned because this is going to be a very good video opening. Z Hood Now we're going to start this off right with some pry bar action. Yes, that's right. we need a pry bar to do a brake inspection.
Now why do we need pry bar? You may ask to remove the hubcap. Okay, that is all. Oh, look, it's got the wheel lock, the door locks, and I have a wheel lock key. Let's get this thing apart.
See what we've got in here? Come here. All right Drum? That's what you got going on inside of there. That was easy. Came loose right away.
All right. drum brakes. Got a bit of brake dust in there. See that? that's gonna make some noise.
How are our shoes looking? Pretty good. Plenty of friction material here. We're just going to do a clean and adjust on these rears. Okay, let's go ahead and move forward.
and uh, we'll pull the front wheels off and check those guys next bar coming in ready to rock and roll. There we go. Okay, Front brakes. What do we got going on here? Oh my goodness.
I See some hot spots on the Roach Horse and moving in for the close-up on these front pads? What do we have in here? Looks like we've got some pretty worn out front brake pads. You guys see that there's the backing plate on the front pad? There it is. There's the backing plate and right that area behind it. That's our friction material.
That's no bueno. Hey, these fronts are worn out two or three millimeters tops. Okay, so I'm gonna recommend that we do front pads. now.
The dealership did say something about resurfacing these rotors. Uh, my lathe is not yet operational so I'm not going to be able to offer a resurface, but I can replace these uh at relatively the same cost so it's a really of no matter. So what I'm going to do here is we're going to replace the front pads and the rotors, do a cleaning adjust in the rear drums and we should be good to go at that point. Let's go ahead and get the impact driver out for these set screws right here in the rotor.
We'll get the caliper off, we'll get the bracket off, and we'll get started. Alrighty, so tow trucks quieted down. Let's get this thing turned a little bit and we'll begin the disassembly. We're gonna pull the slide pins out of the caliper I'll take each and set these guys aside. There we go. All right. So my caliper hanging hooks are in use somewhere else. so we're just going to hang these calipers with a zip tie.
that way they don't fall down and they will not be in the way. So I will run a zip tie through that bolt hole right there and then we can just zip tie this thing to uh, one of the coil springs up top and it'll be out of the way and then it won't fall. There we go. I Almost dropped it just then there.
You stay right there. Okay, looking down at our pads. Get these little spreader. Springs Out of the way.
these are our noise reduction device right here. First, pad wiggle it some. look at that paper thin. those are Dunzo.
All right around on the back side. Again, we've got a 17 mil on the impact. This came out nicely. That's our bracket.
Okie dokes. So I decided to glove up some because I was getting absolutely filthy with brake dust and this stuff's hard to clean off. so it's time for the latex pack the business. Let's get this thing straight again.
Pull our set screws out and I have here rather than using an impact driver. I've got an air hammer. Check this out. Pneumatically powered.
It's got this little device on the end of it with a uh with a bit and what I'm going to do is apply some light impacts and then push down on the lever and it's going to rotate. I'm gonna rotate that screw right out without stripping it off. You usually can't get these out with a just a screwdriver. There we go.
just like that. Easy peasy with the right tools and now I can use a screwdriver. Let's save these for later. they'll be reused on the new units.
I mean some people don't reuse them, but the way I see it, they're there. So why not pop this guy off? Oh yeah, there's a bit of wear on this inside. I Can feel quite a bit of a lip right here. That's good.
Okay, time for a little bit of Surface Prep to go in here and polish off some of this rust real quick. It's not heavy, but there's no reason to not clean it off a little crotch. Sprite wheel thing on the end of a drill. Get the polish off any of that buildup.
Nice and shiny. That's good enough. Any more is overkill. We're good.
Alrighty, let's Mosey on over to the driver's side and we will repeat procedure. I've already taken the liberty of pulling the wheels off when you guys aren't looking. Airline Roll cart coming in. Let's get this thing in position here.
Same procedure. turn the wheel some Buzz the bolts out next and I need zip ties again? Yeah. I used uh two on the last one and uh, didn't need to. one would have been sufficient.
one would have been plenty sufficient. Come here There we go. Zip tie complete and again, we're going to recover our Springs Pop these guys out from here and the pads. These are, uh, super thin. Also, not as thin as the other side, but they're down there regardless. Look it's even right on this. uh, the wear indicator. It's like right there nanometers away.
Right back to the 17 mil clickage that next. Thank you. Come here. Set this aside.
Both of those caliper brackets need lubrication later on. straighten that guy back up and we'll pull the set screws. Easy. look at that one.
Oh yeah, just like that. It's so simple. It beats having to drill these out and break them off with a chisel and pull them out with uh, pliers and all that good stuff. Just unscrew it and the Rust Belt guys are going Q-ray again with a little polishing wheel.
Get rid of all that smooth nastiness in there like never Seasons or some kind of a lubricant. Feels like weird. No worries, we'll get rid of it there. nice and shiny.
Okie Dokes Let's move on over here a little bit and get the caliper slide pins re-lubricated and prepared for installation. I Don't have my brake pads here just yet. so I don't have any of the hardware here just yet. So we're about to be in limbo after.
I Set these pins up but let us know a matcher because we can go and do the clean adjust on the rear drums while we wait. Come here. Rubber thing? There we go. Got it.
I'm gonna wipe off all the old grease here. You don't need this and then we can wipe on some new grease. We do need that here. We go.
put that back in. look, it holds air. Same thing on this one. Two down, two to go pull the slide pin out.
Hey look that grease is hardened. It's not even like liquid anymore. Let me wipe that one down. Get all that old grease off, throw some new stuff on there back in the hole, you go.
Oh that was sloppy. I Needed the towel for extra grips some in my haste. there we go. Got it all right.
the hardware is still on these I'll pop that off. We'll set that aside pending arrival of the replacement components because the new pads will have new hardware. That's good. So we're done here.
Let's go back around back and get to those rear drums. We're moving on back. Wiggle that guy right off of there same thing. Bunch of brake dust in the drum and the shoes look okay.
All right. All righty. So in order to facilitate this, clean and adjust, let's roll the oil drain pan in here, then pull off the brake drum inside of the pan and get on with the cleaning procedure. Make it nice and shiny.
It's going to go through. spread on the brake dust, get behind the shoes they're not empty yet. Brand new can and everything that drips off down below that's going to rinse out the uh, the drum. You know we don't want to waste brake clean.
That'll be bad. Dunzo. All right, taking a lookie glue at our drum. got most of the uh, all that nasty runs out of there. Finish it off. Very good. Okay, now for the adjustment part. Let's just give this like one or two clicks just to tighten it up some.
We're going to use the adjuster wheel right here. that's uh, inside of the spreader bar on these two. uh, on the two shoes here. So I'm gonna need like a flat bladed screwdriver or a spoon adjuster and my spider senses tell me three clicks should be sufficient.
One two, and three. There we go. Let's go ahead and fit the drum on and uh, see what it feels like? Come here drum. I'm gonna line up these two holes here with the two marks that are on the Hub That feels great.
Perfect spread on. Okay, let's move on over to the passenger side and repeat Center procedure. And now that we've established the appropriate amount of clicks, I Will just apply the three clicks right here. from the get-go one, two.
that might have been four. that'll do. We're good. Okay A little drain coming in, brake drum coming in pretty clean.
Coming in, rinse out all the nasty. It's like new. Yep, behind the shoe behind that shoe. we're getting low.
Can I finish in one can I Don't know. No I'm not gonna be enough. One more final rinsing and Uno moss in storage. There we go.
Yeah, that last little bit was kind of sparse and it didn't get the rinse that I required. Not okay. let's let this dry up a bit. Actually a real quick redo.
This one's got some Rust and stuff on it. the other side. not so much. but this side's got a little bit going on here.
Just clean that off. There we go. and a little bit down here on the drum too. Thanks man, you got me look at that.
So anyway, let's get all this rust cleaned off. Try your subservant sir. What would I do without You missed a spot? man. I'm not firing on all cylinders today.
This thing It's not working out. dropping stuff missing Rush I Need a nap there. That was easy, right? Okay, drum coming in. there's the witness.
Mark for the bolt. there's the other one right there. There's my two bolts. It is in line.
Well, it's reference to how it should have been or how it came off or how it should have come off. beautif. There we go. Okay, okay, so while I was over here trying to smash my foot with a brake drum, my parts arrived.
So let's move back over here to the right front. Let's get this thing back in position and we can reinstall the new rotor and the new pads. So uh, real quick. let us de-oil these rotors.
These Are A Car Quest rotor not sponsors. That's just what I bought look at here. They come with this protective layer of oil because they don't rust and I don't want oil in the brake pads. That'd be bad.
A little bit more shiny, rinse it off, give it a wipe. that's why I put it on backwards. At first we'll flip it around. reference where the set screws go here and here. Put that guy back on and while we're here I'll go ahead and toss the two screws in We'll Wash this off and then go head over and put the shims on the caliper brackets. Now we don't have to impact these back in, just make them hand tight and then they're good for the next guy. Shininess complete. Okie Dokes Let us flip a 180 and we're going to get these shims back on the caliper breath.
Get this debris out of here. We don't need that. Old shims don't need those brackets. We do need you.
There's the package of new hardware. It's all the replacement stuff. Let's get into that, Believe me. I'm stabbing these with a screwdriver and there's a knife sitting right here.
reserve and Diane I'm telling you, Not right today. Misfiring on on all cylinders. Come here. I Think those are the same? Yep, so they just kind of slip in and we've got to bend and press these little tangs in right here.
That's what secures it. Push that down so same thing on the other side and push little tangs in. If you don't push the tangs that retain these in all the way they can stick out in contact with, make contact with the rotor and that would cause horrendous squeaking noises while driving. then you get a comeback that would be bad.
I Don't like comebacks? I mean do more? Is there Okay to comebacks? Not so much? Try to minimize that. We also got uh replacement spreader Springs another item that people do not like to put back, but again, it's a noise reduction device. Anyway, these are now re-shimmed. Let's go ahead and get them hung back on the knuckle and get the pad set up.
All right caliper bracket coming in. I've got both of the 17s that secure the bracket to the knuckle and get those guys Started out there. a couple impacting clicks. Get back my socket tight.
Now when it comes to installing the replacement pads, I'm going to take a look at the old pads and see which ones go in which positions. For example, you can see this pad used to be the outboard pad that went right here, but we can tell based on the marks here and here, which were the little fingers on the caliper here and here. So what we've learned is that the outboard pad on this side does not have a wear indicator. It's a little Squealer tab right there that's designed to contact the rotor when the pad wears down enough and it makes a squealing noise letting the driver know that you need some brakes.
So we have learned that this is not the pad. What we need is one that does not have any hardware on it whatsoever, which is going to be this one right here. So what we need to do is depressed that clip in this clip tab rather as we rock this thing in just like so I'll get in there up bottom, slipped out, do over, try again. Almost there we go.
That's it. Another good reason to put your set screws back in is it stabilizes the rotor for when you're trying to maneuver Parts together like that. Very good. Anyway, back to our OE inboard pad. comparing that gravity. comparing that with the other inboard and we can see that the squeal indicator is on the wrong side. So this is going to be the inboard pad for the driver's side. this one is our inboard pad for the passenger side.
here. let's maneuver around inside of here and see if we can't get a better view of this inboard. going in. it's going to happen the same procedure as the outboard side, but with less space and uh, less visibility and whatnot.
I'll get it. We'll get it though. snap, crackle, pop that one's in and get our retainer Springs in position. There's holes in these new pads for the retainers or for the spreader Springs to uh to fit those guys in.
And now we're almost prepared to uh, get the caliper installed. Okie Dokes, Let's cut down our caliper from the spring, set that thing down right here, and we'll get in there with the caliper compressor, and push that piston back in. It's a ratcheting tool that's threaded on both sides. There we go.
Set that thing down in there just as if it were a set of pads. We ratchet it as the center turns. it, pushes these two plates away, and that in turn pushes the Piston back into its four. Nice and easy and controlled foreign.
If you use things like uh, big channel locks, you actually run the risk of chipping the face of that uh of the piston and I could cause it to crack and break and that would be bad I mean not always it can be done, but if you've got the tool, it's just easier and it's faster and there's a less risk. So we've got the tool. just use it or a C-clamp Those also work 12 mil bolts. It's good guys.
started. I'm going to torque those down. Oh it clicks. Oh, hit you guys again.
Sorry. All right one is done. Let's go hit up that right front and we're good to go here. So let's get the wheel turned in the correct direction.
We'll repeat procedure here. hang the rotor, spray it down, bolt it on. We'll finish it off with the caliper Car Quest Platinum non-sponsored rotor coming in, spraying it down, getting rid of all the rust, preventative lubricant, and I'm out of brake clean I'm gonna I'll be back for that one later. Let's see here, let's get our screws lined up.
I Think they're gonna get up just like that beautimous set. Screw one and two coming in over here waking up a little bit I Guess that uh, Brake Cleans had some kind of a psychological effect. Just kidding. Just kidding guys.
I'm not I'm not buzzing off the brake clean. It's not a good idea, it'll uh, the brake brain cells make your head no longer function. It's not okay I Like a good function. head there.
Pin four: Super shiny. There we go and I got my fingerprints as a bonus. All right. Ah, now looky here this one.
I Have installed the pads into the caliper before bolting it onto the knuckle. It's a loaded caliper. comes loaded with pads. That way is not exactly preferable because it's kind of harder to do. I Felt like showing off. There we go. push those in, get them seated flush against the rotor. There we go.
Got it, Got it good? Two spreader. Springs Coming in in the holes, they go. cut down our caliper. There you are.
snip I'll set that down right there and get that piston compressed. Spin that guy in, flatten it out, make it small, nice and Tiny and Ratchet it out. Okay, it's bottomed out. Pull the tool out, flip it.
Taking Care Did not put a twist and that brake hose because that would not be okay and get this guy bolted back in 212 mils just like the other side. Top one bottom, one bottom, one click, top onymous. Good to go. All right guys.
We're all set. Let me back this up. We'll throw our wheels back on real quick like and we'll get out of here and hit the road. Go for a test drive and burnish in these new pads.
All right. Good to go. Wheels are preliminarily bolted on. Let's let this thing down.
get them torqued Jack it out and we'll hit the road. Moving on up. Clock release coming down. Alrighty, let's get this here: Honda Fired up and backed out first.
We must never forget to put the wheel lock key back in the cup holder. Now everybody knows exactly where it is starting. Is this super quiet Honda engine. The first thing we're gonna do here is pump the spray pedal up some.
We need to close those Pistons around the pads and the rotors if we do not pump up the pedal. Then as we're backing out and when we go to complete a stop, I'll push down the pedal and the Pistons will start to come out, but they won't have any pressure on the pads and the vehicle without having brakes that appears to be sufficient putting it in reverse, not moving off the pedal removing. So we're good to go here. Uh, if you ever find yourself in a position where you have a runaway no brake event because you forgot to pump the pedal, just slap it in neutral or pull the parking brake.
I Know it's hard to think like that in that uh in that oh no situation. but quick thinking can lead to prevention of disasters Honking for safety, Backing up, backing out. See you. Let's go out and hit the road.
We'll burnish these pads in and call it a day. Looking good, Left looking good, right and away we go. Okay, here's our first stop. Nice and smooth.
I'm actually gonna try to avoid coming to a stop which that's not gonna work. there's too much traffic. You want to avoid stopping. Well, you want to avoid being stopped and then applying pressure to the rotor with the pads for as much as possible because while burnishing, what we're going to do is it's going to wear away the microscopic Peaks and valleys between or that are on the rotor surface and then around the pad surface.
It's going to wear those down and The Valleys on the rotor surface is going to be filled with some pad material and vice versa. And that's going to provide a nice mated surface between the two friction friction materials. And what can happen is if you come to a complete stop and then sit there, you can actually embed some of the material heavily in that one section and it can cause vibrations later on down the road. All right. Again, no one's behind us checking the mirror. Looks like we're coming up to a stop. So I'm going to apply some brake pedal pressure right here and we're just going to Coast down the bridge. Very light pedal pressure.
same thing here at the light Light pedal pressure all the way down. Nice smooth stop. The road's pretty bumpy but I can feel that the stop is smooth. You can feel rotor run out in the steering wheel while braking.
Looks like we're good to go here. Did not come to a complete stop. This is good. A series of right turns so we get back to where we got to get.
Duke All right guys. Well I've got about 15 more minutes of driving around to do to burnish these pads in. This thing's all good to go. The front brakes feel good, applying the parking brake.
Rear brakes feel good. They're responsive, no vibrations, no noises out of the rears either. and this is also good. So all that being said, I'm going to go ahead and use this opportunity right now to close this video out.

M8ssed ya ray sorry had reload ya
I flip you the bird on every video I'm in the rust belt
How the heck did a hybrid burn up its brake pads?
These are pretty notorious for keeping factory pads until they turn up at the dump thanks to their regen brakes.
I was always told to not force the piston back like that instead crack open the blender valve so there is no force needed reducing risk of damaging the master cylinder by forcing fluid back up thru the system….was I wrongly informed?
FYI most rear drums are self adjusting. The trick is to back up and then hit the brakes and go forward and hit the brakes and it it a couple of times. The movement in the shoes will automatically ratchet the adjustment dial up to close the gap.
Used my ridged impact screw gun an those screws come out easily
IDK, I would’ve reversed the drums from the Left to the Right & of course Vice-Versa.
& some grease on the front brake pad outer tabs in those holder channels/Clips.
I always collapse the brake calipers using a pet-bar & the old brake-pads in place BEFORE removing the calipers as well.
You young bucks have MUCH to learn I guess.
I've only ever used an old brake pad against the piston and a C-clamp. The piston eases in evenly and slowly.
Why don't you get refillable break cleaner bottles? You can have a massive tank, the appliance only needs air pressure from your compressor. Bottle finished? refill and go again.
The air hammer thingy is gold. I used to use the old tool using a regular hammer to break screw free. Always hit my hand 🤬🤚
Why didn't you check the fluid level on the reservoir?
Figured out you're in Bradenton, Manatee county Florida.
I do all my own brake work. Over the years, I've noticed that lubing the slide pins is largely ineffective. I don't mean that you shouldn't do it. Do it. But, be aware that most of it gets scraped off by the rubber bellow/boot toward the area where it seats into the bracket. Not all boots are made in that way that they'll do that but a lot are. So, I've changed up how I grease the pins. I very lightly grease the pins and then I put the grease brush into the bore in the bracket. This assures that grease gets where it should be. Don't over do it though. Oh, I also clean the bore with brake cleaner and a brush before greasing.
As far as grease goes, I never use wheel bearing grease because it hardens too easily from heat. The Permatx that he is using is pretty good.
Great job:. Ur insurance is gonna go up if ur agent sees u throw old cans on the floor. So brake a leg. Ps I'm not a troll.
Noticed you didn’t grease the new shims you replaced. Have I been doing it wrong? No grease required?
I was surprised he did not put a torque wench on the bigger bolts the 17 mm get any where from 45 foot pounds to 95, the smaller ones I think around 35 FT Lbs and I would have put blue lock tight on them and the little ones that hold the rotors and also no new grease applied to the pins?. I would not use this mechanic especially because he used the gun to tighten the bolts start to finish. I have many times worked on a car after a clown over tighten or tighten nuts or bolts with debris in the thread or where the nut or bolt was just jammed but not tight or the threads were damaged. The blue lock tight can also help avoid the problem of the bolts being seize.
I want that ratcheting brake tool.
Canada just made Brakeleen and starter fluid illegal to sell just like our cherished R134 went away. I'm stocking up. Where ever one Environ&*azi does the other's do the same.
I have missed you my friend.
Glad you're back.
Those countersunk screws in the brake rotors are their for moving subassemblies around in the factory or shipping if assembled at a remote location.
shouldn't you put little grease on the piston and under and on top of those metal clips for pads?? may help to keep moisture away and prevent rust building up.
I must have missed something, what is hung Backwards????
Misfiring on all cylinders? Has someone hooked ypu up to a scan tool? What codes did it give you?
What is the name of that airtool that applies impact before loosening the screw with a lever action?
Dude that brake clean is VERY HAZARDOUS to your health… What are you doing!!!
C clamp been doing brakes for 50 years. Every shop ever worked at said I was the best brake man they ever seen. Experience dose count .
Ii really don't need to watch this video (although I will) I have done more brake jobs on my own and families Honda's than I want to think about.😮💨
Pull the seal back and check that piston before you push it back in, if it's corroded, it'll rip up the seal and cause the caliper to bind. Check rotor run out with a DTI after fitting to make sure in spec. Do not tighten wheel nuts with an impact gun.
wheel locks are USELESS waste of money… my key went missing and I removed my wheel locks in seconds with a 12 point socket… do you really think wheel thieves DON'T KNOW THIS TRICK!
Great video thanks. One small but important step though, be sure to lower the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir prior to pushing back the brake slave cylinder pistons. If not done the reservoir can overflow as excess brake fluid is pumped back into it. Brake fluid is an efficient paint stripper, you don’t want that on your under bonnet paintwork. If spilt, immediately wash it off with water and all should be ok.
Did the pads and rotors on my Ford yesterday. Had a hell of a time getting the rotors loose from the hubs. Luckily I had heat available and they still had to be pounded off. Took all the fun out of the Saturday shade tree job.
SmeIIy indians are a good tool for pushing pistons back in. Just hold the caliper piston in front of one, belt it's smeIIy arse with a bat and force it to blow them in. After a severe belting your pistons will be all the way back. Voila!
Nice job. I assume you checked the master before to make sure there was room for the fluid to go from the calipers and also at the end to make sure the fluid was topped off to the full mark. Just saying.
Ray ya missed the brake grease on the caliper bracket ways where the hardware clips go and where the brake oads mate to the caliper im surprised.
Aren't you supposed to grease up the slidey-things of the brake pads?
Cool Mac' great Job…Very informative manm✌
or you could just clean the rotor before putting it on like everyone else I don't see the advantage to that
Too abrasive! You got all the rust AND SOME METAL- a MEASURABLE amount. Wire brush it! Almost perfect is perfect. Abrade that metal that aggressively a couple times, not good. Jmho
Disc's not rotors that's what helicopters have
My front calipers have a grease nipple. How often should they be greased and which what type of grease?
1.3L that's so weak / underpowered, really low displacement, stays away from it like a plague.
Nice job I like your video
I read somewhere a long time ago that the only purpose of the screws in the drum is to keep the drum from falling off while the vehicle is passing down the assembly line. They serve no purpose afterwards.
