Ok so this is my first write up so if you find any mistakes or whatever let me know and I will fix them! So here we go!Total Jobtime Span-45 minutes to a Half an hour using the right tools!
This is a really easy DIY job!
Here are the tools you will need for the job:
1)Impact Driver-you can get them at sears or napa for about 22.99
2)2 New Rotors
3)Set of New Brake Pads
4)Can of All purpose grease
5)Can of WD-40
6)Can of Brakleen
7)A good 3/8 socket wrench
8)14mm socket, 17mm socket, 12mm socket, and a 10mm wrench
9)Good Jack and Jack Stands(Safety First)
10)Socket to screw your piston back in
11)Rubber Mallet
Step #1
Loosen your lugnuts while your car is still on the ground. Jack the car up on the side jack point and I myself like to put a jack stand under the rear toe hook for safety! Next take off the lugnuts with your hand and pull the tire off.
Step#2
In this step you will be taking the caliper apart. The first thing you want to do is take out the two caliper bolts out. These bolts are 12mm and they are on fairly tight but shouldnt be a hassle to get off. Once you've taken these bolts out take the caliper off and the pads off. If you have something to tie the caliper up with please do so, so there is no stress on the brake line! The only thing left should be the bracket. (make sure you keep these bolts in a safe place so you dont have to replace them, I like to use ziploc bags and a sharpie marker to label them) Ok there are two bolts holding the caliper braket on. The top one is a 14mm and the bottom one is a 17mm. I have no idea why they are different sizes but they are. Once you remove these two bolts remove the caliper braket and set it aside. Make sure not to lose the washers that are on these because they keep the bolt nice and snug in there!
Step #3
Take your can of WD-40 and spray it on both screws a little bit and around the center of the rotor. Also take the red straw that comes with the WD-40 and spray it all around behind the rotor where it slids on and let the WD-40 Sit for a little bit and eat the rust away. Then once youve done this take the impact driver you bought or rented and put the right bit on it. Next take the rubber mallet you have and hit the end of the impact driver. (Make sure you have it set to turn to the left and not to the right!) Dont be afraid to beat the crap out of this bolt..Trust me its on there damn good! Make sure you have the right bit on so you wont strip it! Mine came right out though after a few wacks..saved me a ton of hassle!
Step #4
After you've taken both of the screws out Take the Rubber mallet once again and hit the back of the rotor with it while someone or yourself turns it. Dont be afraid to hit the rotor hard as it usually is rusted on there pretty good!...Do Not use a metal hammer unless you just really want to shatter your rotor..Trust me I've seen this happen!..The rotor should come off with a few hits with the rubber mallet.
Step #5
Once you have the rotor off its a good idea to spray some brakleen and clean up as much rust as you can!
Step #6
Once you have everyting off and everything cleaned up very well get your new brake pads. Take the shims off and use the grease you bought to grease up the pad really good. Once youve done that on both pads put the shim back on the brake pad. Make sure you grease up a few other things to such as the piston, and I like to grease up the caliper bolts also.
Step #7
Grab your new rotor and slide it on..make sure the screw holes line up with the ones on the hub. I used my old ones because I didnt strip them at all but if you do you can buy them at the honda dealership for pretty cheap. Make sure you have the rotor on all the way before inserting the screws. Also I didnt tighten my screws really tight just for future brake work. 
Step #7
Now you want to take the brake piston tool you bought or own and screw the piston back in all the way. I myself had to loosen the bleeder screw thats why in the parts list I included a 10mm Wrench. So loosen the bleeder screw and turn the piston in all the way. The first couple of turns are probably gonna be really tight but after that its easy. Make sure that you have the piston lined up right so that your pad fits on right! Once you have that comleted re-tighten the bleeder screw all the way.
Now take your caliper braket and bolt it back up. Remember the 14mm goes on top and 17mm on the bottom!
Make sure you have the washers that came off of them.
Once youve done this slide the brake pads onto the braket. Take the caliper and slide it over the brake pads. This can kind of be a hassle due to the tight fight but just wiggle it on there a little bit, should slid right on. Put the 2 12mm bolts back into the caliper and tighten them down.
Step #8
Step back and look at the work that youve accomplished! Easy DIY job eh? I thought so anyways took me a total of about 45 minutes
