[Icyelle]

Has anyone changed their brake pads on their own? Can someone please post instructions on how to do this?

Thanks. :D

Holy crap, 25k miles and that rusty???
Geez, glad we don't have snowy/salty roads, that would drive me nuts to have rust at all...
Sorry, a little off topic, but I never realized that things rusted up that fast up north...

Brake pads are easy to do. Your best bet is to buy a Chilton's manual or a Helm(a little expensive, but better)
It's very straight forward, nothing really mechanical about it....

Mine were the same way. I had member Rudy help me with a brake job on my V. From watching him :oops: it seemed like something that would be beneficial to have someone who knows what they're doing with you the first time. But overall didn't seem too hard of a job. Not to diminish in anyway the time Rudy put in doing the brake job.

The important thing is having a c clamp to depress the caliper.

I did mine yesterday, had 65k on a 99 CRV.
Replaced the Front Pads.

Like another guy said, if you want to do maintenance on your
vehicle buy some tools and buy a Chiltons manual, then buy
the recommended tools in the manual.

Anything less, and your asking others to do your stumble work.
