Extend Your Brake Life! How to Lubricate Caliper Slider Pins for Honda/Acura

THANK YOU FOR 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! WOW!!!

Today's video will demonstrate how to clean your caliper slider/guide pins. Doing this can drastically improve the longevity of your brake pads, rotors, and calipers. For more information on replacing and lubricating your rotors, brake pads, emergency/parking brakes, flushing your brake fluid, and bedding in your new pads, you can find everything you need to know in my other very detailed brake video!    • Honda/Acura Brake Pads, Rotors, & Par...  

Update - 8/24/2023 - My car currently has 340,000 miles, the Front rotors and pads lasted an amazing 101,000 miles, and the Rear rotors and pads lasted 88,000 miles before needing to be replaced. None of the rotors ever warped!

It goes to show this really works! Neglecting this component of your car can result in sticking brakes, uneven brake wear, accelerated brake wear, seized calipers, warped rotors, and decreased braking performance. It's so easy anybody with a simple ratchet could do it!

It's also during this time while the caliper is off that you could clean and reapply brake lubricant (https://amzn.to/3wbMZqg) to the retainers where the brake pads slide in place for further preventative maintenance and longer-lasting brakes!
