Pro tip: Always clean the slide pins with brake cleaner and re-grease them before reassembly. Saves you from stuck calipers down the road. Thanks for the clear piston compression demo!
Did this on my '18 Civic and saved $320 at the dealership. The bedding-in section at 29:15 was exactly what I was missing from other tutorials. Great work!
