I grew up in the "Honda, we make it simple" era. Most service on a Honda product can be done with basic hand tools. The vehicles are laid out really well and things are easy to get to. Honda is also known for their enginuity of design and you rarely see them do things the way everyone else does them. That front brake design is awful. Requiring the front hub to be pressed apart to change rotors defies the very principles the company was founded on.... IMHO
