How to replace Rear Brakes and Rotors on Honda Accord 2013 2017

I just found this channel looking for pointers before tackling the brakes on my Accord. What a refreshing channel this is! No BS, stupid graphics, useless intro, or pointless background music. Just each step explained in detail with various pitfalls pointed out, and a description of what tools are being used. Great job!

Give this man a medal, he deserves it for being the only one to mention you need to TURN the calliper piston and not just push it in with a c-clamp (it won’t move)

Hey RB, nice video - very helpful for those of us who change brakes every few years! A couple of notes: That rotor screw is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS V1012) screw, NOT a Philips head screw. The JIS is shallower than a Phillips, so the result is that a Phillips driver won't give you as much surface contact while trying to remove the screw. The specs are slightly different so if you're buying the right tool for the job (recommended), go with the JIS bit for your impact screwdriver. (And DEFINITELY don't try removing that rusty, baked-on rotor screw with a regular Phillips head screwdriver!) Otherwise, you could easily find yourself having to drill out the stripped rotor screw - which is doable, but not fun! Second tip: As you alluded to in the video, I'd avoid using WD40 (petroleum-based lubricant) on rubber boot, because petroleum degrades rubber over time. Instead, use a silicone-based lube (e.g., Sil-Glide). Lastly, years ago I bought a "Lisle 28600 Disc Brake Piston Tool " from Autozone instead of the professional-grade tool shown in the video. A similar cube can be bought at Walmart for about $6 and does the trick. (I Googled this to remember what it was called - there are other options.) Thanks again - appreciate you!

A sincere thanks for your help with this. The extra long ratcheting wrench and punch screwdriver were life and aggrevation savers. There is a little cube tool you can use to conpess the pistons in this screwdown setting. Works with your ratchet. Easier than crowbar .

That's exactly what I was looking for - how to retract the piston. Thank you, you rock!

Such a good video. Good lighting, clear instructions. My favorite is when you say “you gotta get this little guy..”

I love how candid and real you are, and I can tell by your muscle memory that you are a master mechanic. Wish you had more subscribers because you’re the man.

Exactly what I needed, first time working with this type of caliper. The bad news is that I don't have that tool to push Caliper back.

Excellent video! I followed your steps to do the rear brakes on my 2016 Accord. Thank you!!!

Thx for sharing. I came to learn how to reset the caliper piston. Knowing that it has to be rotated back to reset its home position was the ticket for me. Again, thx for sharing.

Thank you for these videos! Really helpful

Excellent job very clear and thorough work changing those brake pads I'm having mine done tomorrow at the Dealer and I wanted a first hand look at what they will be doing. Thx u

Thank you so much for excellent video.. you made it so easy to do it yourself!

Very helpful. Thank you.

This Little Guy really enjoyed your Video... Thanks 😊

Thank you for the video. It really helped. I appreciate it. Thanks

you can use a large screwdriver on the piston to re-seat it. I mean one about three feet long. I dont this for years. Great video !!

I always regardless of age of the components, remove, clean and regrease the slide pins & replace the slide pin boots. Do it all at once, it may save money down the road or keep a caliper from locking up. Up here in the rust belt frozen caliper slide pins are no joke

Awesome video brother! On vacation in the Midwest , gotta change my rear breaks before heading back East, really helpful buddy, thanks for taking the time to educate!!

I love this guy! Very nice 💥🤙🛠
