Default Re: Replacing front brake pads on '91 Accord.

If you aren't sure, do one side at a time, so you can check how it
should look.
There is one thing I've done about every year on my '92. Take a
regular old hammer, and knock off the corrosion that forms at the outer
edge of the rotor, front and back sides. Keep your hands and everything
clean.
Think about loosening the bleeder at the caliper when you push the
piston back in. You will see how dirty the brake fluid is. May want to
have the brake fluid changed too. bob too
