Damn. I have Honda Care and was going to try and cash in on this because now, just shy of 4yrs and 48K miles, my rear rotors look like rusted crap. Guess I'm SOL
I would ask anyway. Maybe your dealer would cover it.
Don't ever use needle nose pliers! Autozone loans the tool for free and HF sells the tool for like $20. You can easily damage the boot on the piston with pliers.
I replaced rear pads and rotors a few weeks ago, I ordered from Rockauto, $115 (including shipping, custom and taxes) Rockauto has multiple choices.
Yeah, I had it in for a regular checkup, so I told them to go ahead and do the brakes. Almost wish I hadn’t! $113ea. For the rotors, and $93 for the pads?!? No problems with the service, but I’ll be complaining to Honda about the parts. No way should the rotors have looked like that this early on, and they said the pads were down to 1mm? Front pads were at 6mm and rotors looked good...
Last year when I was still dealing with Android Auto issues my service manager made a comment on Honda brake pads being too hard/soft and this year when my rear rotors and pads were like the picture here I was told that I was out of warranty and there was no "special warranty" TSB. The car has never seen a winter and I rotate my own tires so I was less than impressed. Had already bought OEM Honda pads on line in the states, no EBC available for my 2L 6S Could. Front made in the USA, rears in Italy. Fronts dirty but with grease, rears clean without grease. Was not going to buy Honda rotors that didn't last for C$105 per so bought CTC for C$32 per. Also decided to buy a brake tool kit from A for $30 rather than borrow one for free. HT grease on the pin, anti seize on the slides. EZ job but it shouldn't have been needed, third Civic in a row, No doubt in my mind, Honda should have ate it but they are out two head units and cables to get Android Auto working. There are three ways to retract the piston and I chose the tool but if I had it on a hoist I would have pulled the brake/ABS plug apart and used power to do it. I will be lubing at tire rotation from now on but that shouldn't be necessary IMHO.
Yep, that's mine. Did the Job myself and had bought OEM pads before I knew about this or I wouldn't have, made in Italy, fronts, USA, go figure. Bought rotors from CTC for C$32 per, can't be any worse and I will be going high performance next time but EBC doesn't make for my model. Put Michelin Pilot road sport AS on when new and replaced with AS+ . Very disappointed Honda didn't eat the Job; the parts were not speckd or manufacturing failed.Hey all, just noticed my back brakes making slight grinding noises. 2018 Civic Hatch, at 23,000km, bought new in November 2017. I gave my brakes a quick look, and they looked EFFED. So I called my dealer and they advised there is a TSB for my car that the rears prematurely rust and pit. I just had a brake service done earlier this year so I doubt my pistons are seized.
I have an appointment tomorrow for a diagnosis, everything should be covered under warranty due to a TSB for this issue.

I suppose you could also use silicone grease, but I used anti-size for many years and never had any problems.
