I've had 2 calipers seize on my old '06 Element in 200k miles. Replaced them with remanufatured ones. It doesn't look all that harder to rebuild them. Great video as usual. Thanks.
Great video. I just noticed some noise yesterday and I think it’s my front - left wheel. I suspect it’s the caliper or another brake issue, but it’s good to see you take it all apart and explain everything in your expert way. Thx!
Great job! But next time you do this, take the caliper off completely after removing the piston, and thoroughly clean the caliper with brake clean and a wire brush, and clean the cylinder with a sift scotch brite and thoroughly clean the cylinder.. any acidic brake fluid and rust will cause more issues. After cleaning, fresh brake fluid in the entire brake system
Nice vid 👍Just swapped out a original rear caliper on my 20 year old Honda FRV but im rebuilding the original just for the heck of it and have it as spare its nice oem caliper. Yeah do a video on the hoses i need to swap mine i started to do it but the nut wasnt budging and i needed the car and didnt want the job turning into an all day job 😂 think im gonna need to heat it

The Honda Element calipers are famous for locking up.

Good luck! They can be a pain to get off. I may look at installing some braided lines this summer.
Always helpful stuff. Appreciated.
Glad to hear it!

Appreciate it

The pumping of the brakes part looked like it was trying to pinch one off. 😅
A laxative might speed things up. I had a foreskin joke loaded up for that one but I didn't use it.
If you use anti seize on the bolts it helps next time. Good video!
Thanks for the tip!
Darn salt. Element for the win thought
We don't get a lot of salt here but what little we get gives me headaches.
The biggest reason i see to rebuild calipers is ..almost every"new" caliper is a reman.. so just Diy and save a crap load of $$
That's true. I was looking closer at the box for the Cardone caliper and it said "rebuilt" in tiny little letter.
Love your videos, I have an 05 green element, I'm thinking about going to " elements on the dragon" are you going too?
I don't believe I'll make it this year, but I sure hope to get there soon.
That seal was too big to go in the Hole. ( That’s what she said)
There's always time for lube.
