Brakes and Book
This weekend I will be attempting to replace the brake pads of my 2001 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe. Can anyone let me know if there are any tutorials online, any books I can buy, or any pitfalls I may run into when doing this. I will be buying the better brake pads from Discount Auto Parts, can't remember the exact brand. They don't sell the book for 2001 Accord, though the sales associate told me they have the 2000 book, would this be the same, or do I have a new model. Thanks for any assistance.

I just did mine. Took longer to get the car in the garage than to change them.
Hint: Wrap the master cylinder where you add fluid under the hood with a towel. When I pushed the caliper pistons in to install the new pads, the reservoir overflowed.
One note, the bolt on my EX V6 was not a long bolt like you see in his photos. It was a short bolt.
