Yeah the video is a little crude :lol: but you get the idea and I was pushing the wheel very hard, so the moans and groans are justified lol and not perversion :unsure:

All you need is pre-spray all the joints you’re going to remove with WD40 and this will penetrate the surface corrosion and aid cleaning the threads. Now using a 10mm flared spanner separate the pipe union from the hose joint . The illustrations are pretty self explanatory so I wont bore you to death, it’s not rocket science :unsure:

Once the hose is disconnected spray heavily with Brake cleaner or WD40 to keep everything clean B)

Now just persuade the retaining clip to slide out with some pliers.

Accord Tourer, Rear Brake Hose Replacement. Part 2

Now align the new hose and tap in the retaining clip, then connect the ends and twist in the thread and torque up to 11-12lbf-ft

Clean the area where hose joins the caliper, although it’s not very clear in the picture below but I’ve replaced the banjo bolt seals which indecently come with the new hose ;)

Being careful Align the hose end and seat it in the same position as the old pipe, then torque up to Torque 24-25lbf-ft

After bleeding the brakes and a good pedal test then a test drive round the block, all should be well with brakes like in the video :D

Always check the caliper is fully operational before just replacing the hoses e.g piston operation, as this can get stuck and is more often than the culprit on the 7th gen Tourer as I’ve replaced just as many calipers as I have hoses and very rarely both with no reoccurring issues. Also if you want to prevent this from happening, just change the fluid every two years as per Honda’s recommendation :D

Hope this proves useful :p
 
Also the the N.S rear was showing similar symptoms but not as bad :( but for safety sake I replaced it :) as shown below...

Now both rear calipers are working as they should again :D
 
Nice writeup pal. Im sure this will come in handy to someone.
Rep point coming your way.

Nice write up fella
 
Nice one. Thanks.
 
Quick update, still on the original calipers and 10k has past since this fix all rear pads wearing evenly no issues :D
