Take the wheel off, loosen the reservoir cover by the master cylinder, remove both caliper bolts (or just one and loosen the other as a "hinge". Finagle the caliper off it's mounts. Compress it (big ass slip joint pliers). Change pads, put back together. The rears are what is funky vs. what many people are used to. Rather than compressing the caliper, you "screw" it back in. |

In a nutshell, that's how you do brakes.
So do we address anything that may make the brakes squeal? Vibrations? The rotors should be Measured, then turned or scuffed (if there is no pulsation in them) all slides lubed and the back of the pads glued or lubed (depending on your preference). Make sure you use a good quality pad. -- Stephen W.

A very simple task to do. Just make sure to get OEM brake pads from
your Honda dealer. You may want to go and purchase the factory manual from www.helminc.com if you plan on doing a lot of the car work yourself or go to www.hondahookup.com and get a PDF of an older model Accord (should contain just about the same amount of steps).
