brake problems changing it
for god's sake i'm having problem changing my brake pads for a 93 honda civic dx model. I know u have to loosing 2 bolts behind the calipers and the brake pads should pop out right away? And what is it with this grease that is included with the brake pads, i dont need it, i already jacked off yesterday. Do i also need to bleed my brakes too or no need.
you dont need to bleed your brakes when changing pads/rotors. the grease is there so you can lube the pads before you put them in so you wont encounter any squeeling.
as for the pads, just take out those 2 bolts that hold the caliper on the bracket and slide the caliper off of the pads. then just slide the pads out and grease the new ones at their contact points with the bracket(also on the shims if you have them) and put them on. its not the hardest thing to do.
id probebly rate this on a scale from 1 to 10 about a 3 because it isnt difficult at all..

It's anti-squeal lube that you put on the BACKS of the pad. Just to make sure you don't put it on the braking side - which would be bad.
Changing the pads on Civics takes like 10 minutes per side. Really easy. Just unbolt the lower pin, flip the caliper up, take out the pads, put in new ones, and I usually sand the rotor with some fine sandpaper since rotors and pads always work together. Then put some anti-squeal on the backs of the pads, and press the piston back in with a c-clamp, then lower the caliper and reinstall the pin.
The pin doesn't have to be SUPER tight, just hand tight.
