how to change brake pads on a 1986 honda accord?

Answer 1

First, you need to remove the tire. The brakes should be held onto the rotor by two bolts. Remove the two bolts(they are on found behind the brakes), and slide the whole unit off of the rotor. Pull the old pads off, and put the new ones in. If you have trouble sliding unit back on the rotor, open the brake fluid cap under the hood, and push the caliper back to give you room to slide the unit on the rotor. Tighten the bolts on the back of the pads, and you are good to go. It sounds difficult, but once you work on it, you'll see how easy it is.
