Just did this on my 2019 Honda Civic. The bed-in procedure at the end was crucial — brakes feel amazing now. Saved me $220 at the shop! 🙌

Pro tip: take photos before you start disassembling anything. It helps so much when putting it back together. Also, buy ceramic pads if you want low dust and quiet braking.

This is the clearest brake tutorial I've ever watched. The chapter on rotor inspection saved me from installing new pads on warped rotors. Thank you Mike! 🔧
