Replacing rear brake pads
Answer
you did not mention if you had tried both sides of the car. if one is not stuck then it's caliper time. if both are stuck then maybe the parkbrake cable is to tight. when all else failes get a haynes manual. did the piston move at all? i just remembered that once i had that problem with bonded pads. turned out that they were just to thick. anyway post back and tell us what you found, so that others may be helped....thanks for your time and good luck...vandragon
Yes, I tried both sides and met with the same result.
The rear calipers on hondas screw in because of the parking brake set up. You can go the the local auto parts store and pick up the tool to push the calipers in pretty cheap. The tool pushes the caliper in and turns it at the same time. If u notice the piston is solid with grooves in it. The tool fits in where the pads would be placed and it has things on it that fit in the grooves to push and turn the piston at the same time.
thanks from all runtich, i haven't worked on any late model honda's. now when my daughter ask for brakes on he car i'll know what to do. you can teach an old dog new tricks, just don't expect him to remember how the next time you ask....
ur welcome, and i hope everything works out for u.
Screwing in the calipers worked like a charm. You don't even need tool, all you need is a pair of needlenose pliers.
