SUSP: Replacing Rear Rotors w/ Pads

[JDM_CB7_TX]

If I do this can I not wear any shoes either. Because I did not see a spot for the removal of your shoes.

[slammed90ex-r]

if you are going to bother just changing one pad you might as well just replace both of them.

also if there is more worn on the one side the caliper is most likely screwed

its also a good idea to were shoes when you do this kind of work

ok on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard was it to remove those 2 little phillips head screws, and turn the piston so you can get the brake pad on and have enough clearance? I will be doing this real soon (well whenever I buy my ebc green stuff pads )

Screws, not hard at all.

Turning the piston on the other hand is a bitch. You have to take a needle nose pliers and hold them open around the piston and push while turning.

I really need to learn how to do brakes. Seems simple enough, I took autoshop and am decent with cars, can do the simple stuff.

but am scared with brakes since its a vital safety component.

But I just wasted $300 to do just the fronts!!!! Bastards charged me that because these POS accords have retarded pressed on rotors.

I have to make sure that my future cars never have this issue. Im sure none of the newer cars have them, only these old ones.

need to learn how to bleed them too.

the tool we used to loosen those screws was an impact screwdriver. It works really nicely if the rotor
lock screw is stuck. Striking the rear of the driver simultaneously seats the bit into the screw
and rotates it counterclockwise to loosen the screw and turn it clockwise to tighten.







we bought the tool at autozone for around 10 bucks

hopes this helps out makes the job real easy

/\ good info there. i used a impact drill. I tried everything i could and then my neighbor let me borrow his work drill and it did the job

This thread is just a further reminder that I need to swap out the *** ass rear drum brakes on my LX.
