Owners of other Honda or Acura vehicles such as the Accord, Insight, Clarity, Fit, HR-V, CR-V, Pilot, Passport, Odyssey, Ridgeline, ILX, MDX, RDX, NSX, RLX and TLX may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A few compatible replacement sets of new rear brake pads with their part numbers include the following: Power Stop Z23-1878, Hawk Performance HB900B.572, KFE KFE1878-104 and Callahan CPK01173.

Please use the Amazon Part Finder website to verify the correct replacement part numbers for your Civic. The compatible brake pads may vary depending on the model year, trim level (LX, EX, EX-T, EX-L, Touring, Type R) and body style (coupe or sedan).

The tools and other items needed to complete this procedure include a lug nut wrench, a floor jack, two jack stands, a 7mm hex head socket with a 3/8" drive ratchet or a 7mm Allen key wrench, a Lisle 28600 disc brake piston tool and a tube of brake caliper grease.

AttentionPlease proceed with caution and at your own risk!

The first few steps are to park the car on a level surface, shift the transmission into "Park" and turn off the ignition.

Make sure the emergency / parking brake is not engaged. If the EPB (electronic parking brake) hasn't been released, you will not be able to pull the rear caliper off the pads and out of the bracket. Just to be clear, make sure the EPB is OFF.

Warning: If your Civic is equipped with the electronic parking brake or "EPB", you may need to place the EPB into "service" or "maintenance" mode by using the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System). You might also be able to use an aftermarket bi-directional OBD2 Scanner (also known as an OBDII scan tool) that specifically has the capability to activate "service" or "maintenance" mode for the Honda EPB. Be sure to consult with the manufacturer to ensure the scan tool will work with your make, model, year and trim level. They can usually verify this if you send in your VIN number.

You may be able to visit a Honda / Acura dealership and have a technician use the HDS to place the EPB in maintenance mode for you.

I have read that the 2016+ 10th generation Honda Civic service manual does mention that the rear brake pad can be done without using the HDS. It states "Without using the HDS: Rotate the caliper piston (A) clockwise into the cylinder by using the commercially available disc parking tool (B).

The other method I've seen done is to use a 12V power source to electronically retract or apply the EPB at the connector.

If you don't place the EPB in service mode, there is a chance that rotating the screw-in type rear caliper piston back manually may trigger a warning on the gauge cluster that reads "Electric Parking Brake Problem" with a yellow warning light that says "BRAKE SYSTEM".

Place wheel chocks on both sides of the front tires to prevent the vehicle from moving.

Slightly loosen the five lug nuts on the rear wheel by turning them 1/4 to 1/2 turn in the counterclockwise direction with a tire iron.

Carefully raise the front of the car with the floor jack and securely support it with at least two jack stands.

Please do not solely rely on the floor jack to support the vehicle!

I prefer to only work on one side of the car at a time to keep three tires on the ground for extra safety.
