My accord needs new brake pads and I have no clue as to how it's done. I refuse to spend $200 to have it professionally done so if there is a website that explains step-by-step that would be great.

Thanks

Heres a brief helper:

1) Jack up car, put on jackstands.
2) Remove wheel.
3) There are two bolts holding the caliper onto the disc. Remove the bottom bolt.
4) After removing the bolt, swing the caliper up and remove the old pads.
5) Remove the brake fluid resevoir cap in the engine bay (when you press the piston back in to put the caliper back, the fluid level will rise).
6) Using a C-clamp, press the piston all the way back in (its the big round thing inside the caliper). Watch your break fluid level as you do this, if it starts to get too high just remove some with an old turkey baster or somethin :naughty:
7) Slide the new pads into the caliper, making sure they are installed the same way that the old ones were, and that they fit the curve of the caliper.
8) Remove the top bolt holding the caliper to the disc. (Trust me this makes it ALOT easier.)
9) Now slide the whole caliper assembly onto the disc and align the BOTTOM bolt holes, now get the bottom bolt threaded into the hole.
10) Next maneuver the top of it (with the bottom bolt loose you can maneuver it a lil' bit) to line it up with its corresponding hole. Now thread the top bolt into the hole as well. Now tighten both bolts (not too tight though! 1/2 - 1 turn after hand tightened.) and put the wheel back on.

Now get in car or stand at door and push the break pedal down a couple of times, your brake fluid level should go back down and the pedal should slowly get stiffer.

Leave the brake fluid that you took out in a container for now.

Next repeat all steps (you shouldn't have to take any more fluid out though) on the other side. After you have the wheel back on and tightened, drop the vehicle back to the ground and push the brake pedal down again until it stiffens. Your brake fluid should be low, so add the break fluid you took out back into the resevoir. Take your car for a spin! Hope this helps.
