I just wanted to say thanks to Eric for the rear disk brake video. I didn’t know what a rear ratcheting caliper was until I watched this video. Thanks to him I was able to prepare myself for the job by buying this tool: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/LIS0/28600/N0675.oap?ck=Search_specialty+tools_-1_3350&keyword=specialty+tools
One note though: I did the rear brakes on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix and the caliper is facing the front of the vehicle, not the rear like the Honda in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMcqrb64wa4.
In the case of this Pontiac, the wear indicator would be facing down (opposite of the video) and the pin with the rubber grommet would be at the top (leading edge of the caliper, again the opposite of the video).
Just keep that in mind if you end up doing rear brakes on a Grand Prix or any other car with rear disk brakes with the caliper mounted towards the front of the vehicle.
Again, I love Eric’s videos! I love waiting for the new ones each week!
