Sorry for the camera zooming in/out. lots to learn! bring your vomit bag.
Hey everyone, Lance from Lance Mechanics here 👋
In this video, I take you along for a casual DIY maintenance session on my 2022 Honda Civic — affectionately known as Blue Balls. I'm doing a full tire swap and both front and rear brake service, showing you how it's done without putting the car into maintenance mode.

Whether you're a driveway DIYer or a curious Civic owner, I'll walk you through each step: checking pad thickness, greasing slide pins, knocking down rust ridges, and sharing some tips from my time as a dealership tech. I also talk about the common problems with Honda brakes, why I don’t grind down hub faces, and how to avoid comeback-causing mistakes.

📌 No hoist? No problem. I’m working with basic tools and showing how to do it right without dealership equipment.

🔧 Vehicle: 2022 Honda Civic 1.5L Turbo
🛠️ Work done:
Tire swap (winter to summer)
Brake inspection & service (front & rear)
Slide pin lubrication
Caliper & pad cleaning
Real-world talk on rust, brake squeal, and bad Honda rotor design

💬 Got questions or want a deeper dive? Drop a comment! This kind of raw, real-world wrenching is what Shop Talk and my channel are all about.

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
