MAJOR STEP DISCLAIMER: When performing this maintenance, make sure you clean the slider pins. The slider pins are located on the Brake Bracket. There should be 2 pins and they are inside the rubber shims, slide them off and clean them. Remove from the rubber housing, clean the old grease off with a paper towel, re-grease and reinstall. Make sure this in completed before attaching the bracket back onto the hub assembly.
This video is very thorough and explanatory and really gives someone looking to take on any one of these jobs a high degree of confidence. You really explain the reasons why you are taking each small step. Thanks!!
What a great video!!! You were very thorough but not overboard with explanations and just enough detail and info anyone can do a brake job. Excellent job.
Thank you for the nice comment! When I first started on RU-vid, my main goal is exactly your comment. I wanted to educate and explain thoroughly but not overkill the content! Your comment means so much! I hope I can continue to serve my audience better every time! Cheers
Great video. For future reference It's actually called a parking brake and not an emergency brake or E-brake. I think the term emergency brake term came from it being the last measure to resort to when the brakes fail. And it's crazy how many people I see NOT use the parking brake when parked even when on hills let alone flat ground. Using the parking brake eliminates the tension on your driveline which includes transmission and u-joints when you are parked. Makes it easier to get out of park for auto trans and if you have a manual then you don't have to worry about the engine compression to keep the car from rolling.
Thanks for sharing! You are correct; parking brake is the correct terminology, not E-brake. Also, it is alarming how so many people under-utilize the parking brake since it helps prolong those important parts of our cars.
Hi Rom, It would be AWESOME if do “the ultimate E-Brake adjusting process on…” (very few realises how important It is) So could also ADD lubricating sliding pins snd explain difference on inner and outer Pads and how affected your previous rotors and pads Best Regards from Mexico City
Great video!. I have the same car -- this will be helpful. Just one thought -- I assume the cap goes back on the brake fluid reservoir before pumping brakes?
That's only parts wait til they tack on the Labor that's a 600-800 total job,they charged me 670 for my 05 Tundra..I paid 182 for the parts and did it myself for an hour labor,but good video overall
When jacking the rear of the Acura TL, If you look directly at the center rear of vehicle, there is a metal hook. This hook is the rear jack point for the Acura generation (I've attached a link for visuals). 2:56 I used the plank of wood on my floor jack to level out the forces while jacking up my car to make sure it safe and secure (optional but I enjoy taking extra precaution).

Thank you for commenting, glad you liked the video! You can look up parts for your car anywhere, amazon, auto stores, etc. Just make sure it fits your exact make and model!
Great question! It is always crucial to always use loctite when re-installing screws. This will help with vibrations issues and ensure the screws/bolts will not fall off. Hope this helped!
Great question! From my personal experience, I would open the brake reservoir cap under the hood so the system doesn’t pressurize when pushing in the brake piston. Bleeding the brakes is a necessary maintenance but not required when changing brakes and rotors
