Default My day sucked

I replaced my front and rear pads & rotors on my 1994 Accord Coupe....The front totally sucked cause I had to press the bearings out and put new ones in...that took a few hours...but it got done...HOWEVER...When I was doing the rear brakes I found out both slider pins on both calipers (left and right) were seized...and when I say seized I mean they appear to have actually bonded together, so much so, no amount of busting/hammer...etc would release them...I eventually said screw this, and I'm ordering new caliper assemblies tomorrow.... I hate working on brakes.....

I told myself just to send it up to a local shop...but no...I just had to do it myself..

Oh I also screwed up the two screws that hold the rear discs, so i had to drill them out for new screws.....NOTE TO SELF: NEVER REPLACE EXTREMELY WORN BRAKES ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR......

yeah i been there. did the brakes on my 90 integra and had rounded bolts and seized pins just like you. Oh well, it was a learning experience. I learned I never want to do that again. wned:

p.s. ended up replacing both front calipers because one had a seized piston :af:
