Anything special beyond the obvious that any of you have found helpful?

Thanks

Seems to document everything really well.

Go to the "Tech' section.

Hope this helps,

Tools to change pads and rotors:

7mm short hex socket for caliper guide pins
6mm (or 5mm?) hex socket for rotor retaining screw
16mm socket for caliper bracket
straight screwdriver for popping off the anti-rattle spring
7mm wrench for caliper bleed screw (if you're going to bleed your brakes)
Turkey baster for removing excess fluid from the reservoir
C-Clamp for pushing piston back into caliper
Bungee cord to suspend caliper from spring
Brake bleeder (if you're going to bleed your brakes) - check out Jim Powell's instructions on how to build one at <http://www.apexcone.com/Bleeder/bleeder.html>

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but anyone know ballpark time to do this minus shagging wheels?

On my accord, it's like 1hour/axle WITH wheel removal/mount/torque and only basic jack/jackstands (no lift). Excluding rotor turning of course.

I am a tool, and I change my own brake pads...
