Honda CRV rear brake pad change 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

In this video I demonstrate how to change the rear brake pads on our 2013 Honda CR-V AWD. The procedure will be exactly the same for model years 2012-2016, 2WD and AWD.

This is a relatively simple job that almost anyone can tackle as long as you have the required tools. This will only cost you about $40, and take 30-60 minutes to complete. My local Honda dealer wanted $299 to change just the rear pads!

I decided to use Akebono ceramic pads which I (and many others) have had great luck with on many other vehicles. I changed the front pads at 60k miles with Akebono ACT1089. The original rear pads lasted just over 90k miles before getting to the wear indicators, and I replace them in this video with the ACT1086 pads. I did not need to resurface or replace the rotors as there was no vibration/pulsing when applying the brakes.

Remember to also follow the manufacturer's recommendations for brake pad bed-in procedure. (Akebono recommends 400-500 miles of moderate driving to bed-in.) This is particularly important when installing new pads and leaving your existing rotor alone. A proper bed-in will not only give you the highest stopping power, but also ensure that there is an even layer of pad material deposited onto your rotor. This will prevent the pulsing and vibration which is commonly mistaken for warped rotors. If you are interested in learning more, Stoptech has an excellent white paper on this topic:

If you want to flush your brake fluid at the same time, I've also created a video for that process:
