Default '03 Odyssey Front Brakes How-To?

Hi,

I've done brake jobs in other vehicles (Escort, Villager, Maxima) and I would expect the job in my wife's '03 Odyssey would probably be comparable. But I was wondering if anybody has a how-to procedure (possibly with pictures) and the torque specs for the job. I just want to know what to expect. Your tips are also welcome.
Also, has anybody seen the Service Manual from Honda? Is it any good for DYers?

Thanks a bunch.

I haven't done brakes on Escort, Villiger, or Maxima, but I bet you won't find anything too surprising on a Honda. If you were doing the rear brakes, remember those pistons have to be rotated to push in, because of the handbrake ratcheting mechanism.

The 'official' shop manual comes from www.helminc.com & it's really good, but pricey. I haven't read a Chilton or Haynes book for years, but people have said they're not as thorough.
