Thanks for the video. I will need to replace my brakes in next 5000 miles and delarship gave me a big estimate. I watched your video many times in details and will do it myself. Thanks again for this video
I found the pin with bushing at 3:58 point in video on my breaks (2016 CRV AWD) on the top instead of bottom of caliper; Are the positions interchangeable?
I don't know why honda made it so complicated. I spent some time looking over part drawings trying to understand why there are different opinions on where the pin with the rubber bushing goes. It comes down to whether your front calipers have two pistons or one piston. If the caliper has one piston, the rubber bushing goes at the bottom. If the caliper has two pistons, then the bushing pin goes at the top. No idea why honda chose two different caliper assemblies for the same model vehicle and has the rubber bushing pin in different positions for the different calipers. Whether it actually matters if the pins are in the positions in the part drawings, I don't know.
So apparently I did all this including the rear pads and used Honda OEM rotors and Raybestos Pads. The problem that occurred was a very spongy pedal after bleeding brakes and that’s because you fail to mention that you have to open each caliper bleed valve prior to compressing the caliper pistons otherwise you can damage the Master Cylinder on vehicles equipped with brake hold. There are rubber nipple valves/seals in the master cylinder that are designed to push brake fluid forward, not backwards back into the Master Cylinder. Your video does not show how to correctly move the pistons back into the caliper without damaging the master cylinder.
Excellent video, very well done. But I want to mention that you need to use only factory oem parts as aftermarket doesn’t work as well as the original.
