How to Replace Front Brake Pads on a Honda Accord 8

Model: Honda Accord MK 8 - Years 2008-2013
Part: Brake pads

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the front brake pads on a Honda Accord 8 by following some essential steps: first, purchase new brake pads from an authorised dealer. Lift the bonnet and secure it with the appropriate prop; unscrew the cap of the brake fluid reservoir; using a 19mm socket wrench, loosen the wheel bolts, lift the vehicle (the front) using a jack, and place safety stands under the vehicle. Continue to unscrew the bolts and then remove the wheel; using a crowbar, separate the brake pads and clean the brake caliper mounting elements. Now, unscrew the brake caliper attachment with a 13mm socket wrench. Remove the brake caliper and take out the pads; now, retract the pistons (use a brake caliper tool). Before installing the pads, ensure the surface is clean. Install the new brake pads and reassemble everything in reverse order.
