Nah, if all your going to do is pads... you just got to take the 2 bolts that attach the caliper to the bracket out, take the old pads out, use a c-clamp or some big pliers and push the caliper piston back.. pop the new pads in and put it back together.. easy stuff. Now if your doing rear disk... not sure if the 99 accords have rear disk or not, but if so, alot of rear disk brakes have the pistons that need to be twisted back, which requires a special tool... so just be aware of that.
