Changed my front brake pads today, and to my suprise after taking the stockies off I realized they didn't need changing badly at all, but reguardless I took the 2 pads per side off, took off the metal shim/plate thing on all the brake pads and onto the new ones and also put some caliper cleaner/anti squeak on the metal plates that go on the calipers..... all in all it was an easy job, I don't really notice anymore stopping power or anything but whatever

 

it takes a little while for the brake pads to bed themselves to your rotors. give it a few hundred miles or so to see if you see an improvement.

also, go easy on the pads for a few hundred miles. try not to do any quick, short stops.

 

what kind of pads did you go with?

 

Thanks for telling us you changed your brake pads. Next time I'll tell you when i do mine.

Now that sounded pretty dumb hua.....? Get my point? Next time you post have a question or questions you need to ask us on honda-tech and not just tell us how well you did.

 

Hey Charlie feeling a little mad today? Maybe you should stop being such a ***** to random people on H-t for no good reason...Its people like you that snap at everything and everyone that sound pretty dumb huh

 

Funny you criticize him for a supposedly "worthless" post, yet your post is just as worthless if not more so

 

charlie just needs to get laid more often...

 

He takes his sexual frustration out on us...

 

I almost never snap on h-t members even newbies.(i think this is my first time) I just don't understand what he was trying to get out of this post.

 

perhaps shareing his interest and accomplishment in working on his car.....

kinda like me posting that we finished my clutch install.... whats the big deal?

 

he had a thread on his brake problem... maybe he's just giving us an update...i don't see anything wrong w/ following up on your thread/problem.. but maybe he could have done it in the same thread.. *shrugs* its coo not a big deal

 

Sorry your angry charlie but like the man said, just sharing an accomplishment, its one of the bigger jobs I've done by myself with NO help, may mean nothing to you machanics but to a every day guy its a big deal

 

**** dawg.... just remembering to tighten the wheel lugnuts to me is a big accomplishment..

<--- forgot sunday and lost one lugnut and almost the other 7 on the front tires.. LOL
