Accord How to Compess rear caliper Properly and Easly

Best brake video!

Awesome! I was totally stuck and worried I would have to buy a new caliper until I watched you. Thank you, and keep up the great content!

I didn't know you could twist it. I will try this tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

I swear that Hondas were designed by mechanics. They are a dream to work on.

Since I don’t have the tool, and since I don’t have a crowbar with a wide enough edge, I ended up using a large flat file. The edge of the flat file fit into the groove and I was able to have enough leverage to rotate the piston clockwise and down. Thanks for the video.

I use a nylon brush even a cheap brand of tooth brush will work a metal wire brush can tear the boot or any other rubber. Also use a silicone lubricant spray don’t use WD-40 it’s a petroleum-based product, which will eat rubber. You can simply use a spray bottle with soap and water in it to clean the rubber boot while it’s wet use your nylon brush or tooth brush to get the brake dust and road grime off the boot. Dry the boot spray it with silicone lube so it doesn’t stick to the caliper and twist up. Use the appropriate specialty tool to turn the screw piston in all the way so it will clear the pad when you put the caliper back on the vehicle. Don’t cheap out and use a pair of pliers a screwdriver, or a prybar. Put the caliber back on and put your bolts in and tighten them to torque specs spray down the caliber and rotor one last time with brake cleaner so you don’t contaminate the pads and you’re done.

Thank you so much for this video it really helped me out a lot I thought I was going to have to replace my caliper until I saw that you have to spin it to decompress it

WD 40 is petroleum based and as such will break down and destroy any rubber. Use a silicone based lube, after cleaning instead.

I’m a express tech at a dealership and even though all I do is change oil and do the basic stuff but I’ll learning a lot from your videos

Very good presentation. My son has a 2015 Honda Accord, we used C-Clamp, couldn't compress the piston. I thought the caliper was bad, and plan to replace it. This video shown us how to compress the piston without special tool, and we follow it, works out like a charm. All techniques introduced here is very useful (including how to use DW40 to do lubrication). Thank you for providing us this information. Very appreciate your kindness.

Thanks, in the middle of doing this right now and your video was a real help.

Wished I saw your video before I bought a new caliper. At least I learn something new. Thanks 🙏

Had a siezed caliper cylinder on a 15 si...thanks man!

This certainly helped me. Nice one mate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I have watched different video,s how to screw in the calliper and you are the only one that lighned the slots in a strait line up and down .thanks

Amazing job, saved me time cost and effort ! Thank you !

Thank you RB... Gonna make changing the brake pads on my 2005 a lot easier.

Vid Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you this video was “very useful”. Happy New Year 🎊 and I wish you a wealthy, healthy, and happy 2022.

RB, thanks so much for the suggestion to put some grease on the thin washers to keep them from falling out. Those things were driving me bonkers. Have a blessed year.

Thanks man this really helped me . I changed my wife back brakes and couldn’t get the cylinder back compressed with the C-clamp . Watch your video followed the steps we’re on the road again lol 😂 thanks again !!
