    id consider this being your first project.. to get familiar.. brake job on a honda is as simple as it gets! The only tricky part is bedding the brakes when your done.. but even that is a basic process. or pay me to do it...

    to change a rotor and pads he wont need to bleed the brakes.

    alldata


    1. Raise and support front of vehicle and remove wheels.
    2. Remove caliper pin bolt, then pivot caliper up away from rotor.
    3. Remove brake pad shims and pads, Fig. 2.
    4. Clean caliper and inspect for excessive wear or damage.
    5. Install pad retainers, then pad shims and pads, Fig. 2.
    6. Back out bleed screw <--( i normally skip this step on most cars) and push in piston to allow caliper to fit over pads, then tighten bleed screw to specification.
    7. Pivot caliper into position, then install pin bolt and tighten to specifications.
    to get the rotor off just take the 2 bolts holding the bracket for the caliber off. then the 2 screws that hold the rotor to the hub.
