wilson, what size are the bolts that hold the caliper on to its bracket

if they are 14 mm, the pads you need are nissin

if they are 17 mm, then you need akebono

edit: or take a picture of them

i'll check tomorrow

the bracket bolts are the ones on each side of the caliper like this picture has right

[blackcb7]

[ikayto]

my freeakin coolant line popped, cracked, sprayed everywhere, steam was pourin out of the hood when it was at a stop... we were in the middle of moving when our moving truck ran out of gas and we had to get my car then that happened! shitty night.

so now my cars not driveable til i get paid this week and can buy another hose. shits weak man.

ive been moving all weekend/week so i havent had a chance to do nothing to my car. hopefully i can get crackin on it soon, i gotta clear out all the crap in my new garage and get it in my room mates room.

ouch coolant hose, only 30 bux or so from honda; should be a lot cheaper at autozone if you're in a real pinch.

This has happened to me 2 times. After the second time, I decided to replace all the hoses. Now I replace em every 60K miles. Good insurance.

If they make it for the B-series, it'll work for the h's, I don't know about the F's....well, actually, the F's and H's are the same hoses....the top hoses on all hondas are the same for all motors, back side is slightly different but curvature is similar and will work....Compared them myself back then when I was looking into Spoon hoses...
