Replace The Front Brakes

This guide for the front disc on a 88-91 CRX. Pics are of a 91 Si but all years should be the same, with the exception of different pads and rotors. I know alot of people know how to do this but some people dont.

Tools Needed: Lug wrench 14mm wrench or socket/ratchet 17mm wrench or socket/ratchet C Clamp Caliper grease (I use synthetic caliper grease w/ brake quiet)

First break your lugs loose with the car on the ground

Jack up the car (don't forget to use a jack stand just in case. and if your on soft ground like I am, put a board under your jackstand.) and remove the wheel.

Remove the 14 mm bolt on the back side of the caliper to swing it up to remove the pads.

While you have it open use a C-clamp to compress the piston so it will go back into place with the new pads and rotor. Take the master cylinder cap off to relieve the pressure while you do this.
