I just got done completely changing rotors and pads on a 14 CRV. This was the most outstanding video and you covered all the major points very well. I would stress not putting new mounting hardware and just reusing the old mounting hardware. The Bosch mounting hardware I bought had dog ears on it which scraped the rotor. The old dog Hardware did not have dog ears. Just brushing the old hardware with a wire brush made them good as new in my opinion.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I have the same Honda. The video was clear, quick and to the point. Very well done. This was my first attempt at doing brakes myself (I also tackled the rotors too), and with the money I saved by doing this, I was easily able to add to my the tools to do it right. It gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. Thank you!
Excellent video for rear brakes on the CRV. I always like to view a video like this before doing the job, makes it so much easier than guessing. So many different pad designs. And calipers.
Hi Dan. Your videos are great. I'm doing the brakes on my doughter's CRV and needed a refreshment course. I got that and some extra tips to help make the job go smoother and all thanks to you. Stay safe.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to have to attempt this myself soon on my wife's 2015 CRV. Do you know if the '14 and '15 models are the same, as far as replacing brakes are concerned?
Hi Edgar, ‘Bleeding the calipers’ usually implies that there is air in your brake lines. As long as you don’t open the bleeder screw or any brake lines, no air should be in the system. So, it’s really not necessary if you’re just replacing the brake pads. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man
Hi Edgar, I think the caliper slide pin bolts are the same, and the torque specs are the same for the 2014 and 2017 models. I just did a brake job on a 2017 CR-V. I will post a video of it once I finish editing. -Dan the Fix it Man
No need to mess with the parking brake whatsoever. Even when changing the rotors. I don’t use parking brakes at all so taking the rotor off and putting a new one on without doing anything with the emergency brake worked fine for me
Thank you for the video! How long can you expect to hear pad rubbing notice due to the rotors not being changed out? My caliper wouldn't move due to the peaks line being connected to the caliper in the center area by the piston chamber. Do you know if there are multiple types of calipers for this Honda CR-V? I have the 2WD LX version.
I was worried about not having an impact screwdriver. To be honest you don’t need it at least in my experience. I used the correct Phillips head screwdriver bit - not screwdriver - and banged that several times with a hammer after spraying with Kroil. All eight of my rotor mounting screws came off without any issue. That was my experience
You will need to use a torque wrench. You might be able to rent one for free from an auto parts store. amzn.to/2VAH666 This is a link to a torque wrench if you decide to buy one. I used to just go by feel, based on the size of the bolts, but just do whatever you feel comfortable with. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

Thanks for such a great tutorial. I followed it to a tee and it WORKED! I learned something and saved some bucks.
Thanks again!!
Two thumbs up 👍👍
@@montemichaelson1471 glad to hear it went well!
Take care,

I like the way you pushed the piston back.
thank you so much for teaching! from start to finish. won another Brazilian follower. hugs
One of the best diy videos I’ve seen. Just excellent!
Thank you Oliver,
I appreciate the kind words, and thank you for watching.
Take care,

Great job DAN. Straight and to the point. Thanks for sharing knowledge.
I normally use permatex blue anti-squel on the back of the pads. Your thoughts are appreciated 👍
Yes, that works great too. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks Dan
Excellent vid.. Easy fix!
Very informative video ! Subscribed

Although I'm not 100% sure, I would imagine they are the same as they are both in the same generation of CR-Vs.
Question-i have pads without that 3 prong setup for the caliper piston (bought at O'Reillys (oem)) is that clip necessary?
Great video Thanks!
Great video !!
Changed the rear brakes on my crv, but now it squeals really loud, going forward and backwards. Hopefully time will break them in
Make sure the metal retainer is not rubbing on the rotor. Sometimes they don’t seat fully. Best of luck to you, hope you get it sorted out. Dan.
Thanks 😊
you skipped how to install the anti-rattle clip which is the part that im stuck on.
you didn't change the rotors?
Why? There was no need to in this case.
If u change the rear pads, it is necessary to bleed the calipers?
Hi Edgar,
‘Bleeding the calipers’ usually implies that there is air in your brake lines. As long as you don’t open the bleeder screw or any brake lines, no air should be in the system.

@@DantheFixitMan thank u so much bro, that's a big help. Really appreciated for your efforts.
Thanks very much. Just followed your instructions and my dad replaced squeaky brake pads today. You are awesome.
Great video!
Good job, bro. Thank you so much. Wade Out..
What a great guide. Thanks man.
So no messing with the parking brake?

Do you need to bleed the brake after replacing the pads?TIA
@@Mr.Kupz10 only if you open the hydraulic system potentially allowing air to enter. If you don’t open it, you don’t need to bleed it.
@@DantheFixitMan Thank you.🤙
Thank you for posting this video
My mans goin nuts with the lube

good clear simple directions thanks
when tightening, how do I know how much torque I applied?

Although ideally you’d want to torque them to 17 foot pounds as demonstrated. Making them very snug will work. 17 foot pounds is not much at all
