On a Honda, how to I fit brake pads?

Answer by  mechtech74 (692)

Detach caliper assembly and moved it off the rotor. Press the caliper piston back into the housing until it's fully retracted. A giant adjustable pliers can help. Install the new pad and clips, remount the caliper assembly, and gently press the brake pedal several times to seat them.

Start by pulling off your wheel. Then unbolt your caliper and remove the old pads. Compress the brake piston until the new pads will fit over the rotor. The just reverse the process. Remember to pump the pedal to bring the pressure back up.

You must remove the tire,loosen the caliper bolt and remove the old pad. Then insert the new brake pad and tighten the caliper bolt and put the tire back on.

Fiiting brake pads on a honda shouldnt be too different from fitting them on any other make. Be sure to bleed the brakes when compressing the caliper, instead of forcing fluid back into the master cylinder.

The first thing you would need to do is open the car hood and locate the break fluid container to allow pressure to be released, pushing the break pistons.

If you order your parts directly from Honda it shouldn't be hard. If that is not a choice talk to a qualified after market dealer and they will point you in the right direction.
