How to Replace a Caliper in a Honda CR-V

See that the vehicle is properly raised and secured on the jack stand, then remove the wheel.

Disconnect the brake fluid hose from the caliper by removing the banjo bolt. Throw away the copper washers attached with the bolt. Plug the hose's open end with a piece of rubber.

Remove the caliper's upper and lower bolts. Lift up the caliper and remove it from the rotor/bracket.

Take off the pad springs, pads, shims and pad retainers. Grease the sides of the shims and the backs of the pads with brake grease.

Install the new caliper with the pad springs, pads, shims and pad retainers. Reattach the mounting bolts and the brake hose. (Use new copper washers with the banjo bolt on the hose.)

Bleed the brake system after connecting the hose to remove air from the system. Open the bleeder valves and have another person hold down on the brake pedal.

Place the wheel back on and lower the vehicle. Set the brake pads by repeatedly pushing the pedal until it feels firm. Test the brakes on the road.
