How do you change the break pads on a 91' Honda Accord ex???

I want to know how to do this? Is it hard to do? What tools do i need to finish the job? Need expert advice please. Thanks a lot=)How do you change the break pads on a 91' Honda Accord ex???
Let's see

1. Jack up the car and remove the wheel on one side



2. Remove the 2 bolts on the back side of the caliper [probably 17mm wrench]



3. At this pint I use a large common screwdriver to pry the piston back into the caliper housing



4 pull the caliper off



5 remove the old pads and insert the new pads with shims and that tube of grease that is suppose to help prevent noise. don't put it on the pad surface. It goes on the back side of the pad, the metal side.



Reassemble



Do the other side.



Of course, your rotors may or may not need to be turned or replaced?

if you need expert advice, then go to a shop and have it done...this is too small a space for detailed instructions for someone who doesn't know what they're doing.



the word is BRAKE...
