I just did mine....wished I saw your video first...LOL Spreaders kept flying off when I was trying to put caliper over pads. Ended up putting thin 4" C clamps on top and bottom of break pads, , inserting spreaders then started caliper, remove C clamps and finish pushing in caliper all the way. Had another little problem with the heads of the slide pins not aligning properly with caliper bracket. Once I figured out they had to be spun just right to align, I was good to go. Nobody ever mentioned this issue. Flushed the break fluid while I was under there on my 2015 pilot.....6 year old fluid was a little brown. Now it's clear! Coolant flush next on the list. Keep up the good work. Retired now, so have time to work on cars again. Now the wife's 2010 Camry has a squeaky tensioner pulley....always somethin.
You are a great teacher. Now I know the importance of the spreaders.
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
