Please help, i saw pics of page 19-19 and 19-20 but can not read to fuzzy. Trying to change brakes, not sure what two bolts and looks like I need to remove more than just two bolts. Changed front brakes before but never rear. Bought tool for piston when I put pads back in caliper, do not see where that is? Maybe have to remove caliper first? Any help in what I need to know to replace pads on rear brakes for 2000 Accord ex? Please be detailed, for I am a newbie to this procedure. Thanks in advance for your help.

ps - pics would be great, 19-19 and 19-20 would help if
I could read them.

 

...look in the TSB thread, this topic has been gone over many times. You need to remove the caliper, just like any car.

 

Actually you don't have to remove the caliper. You just remove the lower bolt and swing the caliper up so you have access to the pads. Remove the pads, then use that tool you bought to rotate the piston back in to allow room for the new thicker pads. Be careful of the rubber gasket around the piston that you don't get it bunched up. Once the caliper can slide back over the rotor with the new pads in, then replace the bolt and torque to spec.

 

I take my caliper off so I can fully lubricate and inspect it h:

All you need is a big ass screwdriver to turn the rear piston in

 

thanks for the help, here goes nothin.

 

any thoughts on why my SRS light might be on? how much to fix best/worse case?

 

have you removed any of the front seats before?
If you want disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for about 10-15 minutes. That will reset the ECU. Keep in mind that whatever stations you have programmed in your radio will be resetted.

 

never removed the front seats

 

Well aren't you thorough?

I would just use a screwdriver too, but since he said he already bought the tool, he might as well use it.

 

I dug up a thread with some clear pictures of the rear brake pads for you:
