91 Accord Brakes

[Supra27]

I am planning on buying a 1991 Honda Accord as an every day driver. It is in good consition besides the fact that it needs new front brakes. The brakes are included with the car. I was wondering how difficult it is to change the front brakes and a rough estiment on how long it would take to change them. Any help would be appreciated.

pretty easy just loosen the bottom bolt on the caliper and pop the old pads out the new ones in and put the bolt back in i just changed them on my 91 accord this morning oh and you need to get a clamp or something to push the caliper back

ok heres a brief explination if your changing rotors and pads after you remove the wheels,

 

1. take off the two caliperbolts

2. pull of the caliper and set it on something,(you do not need to remove the brake lines)

3. carefully pry the brake pads out

4. scrape off excess debris on the pistons

5. get an impact phillips drive, put it over done screw holding on the rotor, gently tap it, (then do it to the other screw) pushing in hard turn it counter clock wise trying not to strip it. ( use an impacts screw driver, normal ones will break off in the phillips head)

6. remove the rotor

7. replace rotor

8. tighten phillips screws accordingly

9. replace the calliper with the new brake pads

10. tighten the two bolts holding on the caliper( make sure theres no twists in the brake line)

and your basically done, just dont press the brake for any reason while it is off the rotor.

 

good luck
