Im at a loss. I go to do brakes on my brothers car today. Autozone tells me they have two differnt size brakes for the car.
Ok ill buy both sets and return one of them. It turns out one set of pads are slightly smaller than the other.
ok
I get one set on and there fine. As im doing the brakes Both calipers need to be replaced. Im game ill do it.
I go to advanced auto the calipers and braket set they try selling me are totally different. No where near the same size as whats on there .
Im confused I say to the guy working at the store you sell two different size pads and one is clearly a different size than another shouldn't there be two different size calipers?
There is not he says.

So here is my problem , the card calipers are not the same as the ones at advanced auto the bracket looks smaller and so does the caliper.
Could brake swap been done ? If so is there a brake swap that has different calipers but still retains the same pads.
Im at a loss . Im really not a Honda man so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanx

Cars a 1999 civic EX ( Im sure I car faxed the vin)
Here are the breaks it uses.

I have 5410, Does any one have a part number so I can cross reference it to bring to the part store.

 

Not sure what you are asking. The replacement caliper should also have 5410 stamped on it. This will allow you to verify the caliper is the correct one.

 

What Im asking for is a part number to the correct caliper. I could drive around and match calipers up , look at casting numbers or more preferably call a auto part store with a caliber part number have them cross reference it in there computer and see if they have the correct caliper.

So im asking any one in honda land for a part number to a caliper with the number 5410 stamped on it please.
BTW thank you RonJ for the help you made my life allot easier.

 

What do you need a part number to buy a caliper from Autozone for? I think that's where the confusion is coming from.

 

You are correct thinking that there should be two different calipers available if there are two different pad types.

All the different parts stores will use their own part numbers. On top of that, their databases are almost ALWAYS incorrect. There are many different calipers for Civics and finding the correct replacement ones can be a total bitch. You should take your old parts into the store with you to verify the part they are trying to sell you is the right one.

Here are the OEM part number (not that it will help you):
Right: 45018-S01-A02
Left: 45019-S01-A02

Your best bet might be to order online. The company Centric, who make race parts like stoptech & powerslot, remanufacture calipers as well. I've found their specific parts interchange to be VERY accurate when dealing with different Honda calipers. Look up your caliper on thier website and then plug the part numbers into google. Usually RockAuto.com has the best price (google will have 5% discount copuons for them too). Don't know how quickly they will get it to you though.

edit*** Centric Part numbers are 141.40085 and 141.40086 and can be had for pretty cheap on some websites (don't know if I'd trust PartsGeek.com):

unless previous owner swapped out the knuckles and calipers from another civic or integra

 

I searched em down , caliper 5410 fit the civic. The brake I posted a link to also fit the calipers for those who search later . Thanks for the help guys.

On a side not the brakes are real spongy are there any common problems older civics have I should know bout?

 

Bleed the air out of the system.

 

Yes, definitely air in the system. Don't know the bleed sequence for EK, but the EG's are RR, LF, LR, RF. Perhaps someone else can chime in if the EK's are different.

 

I did bleed them this problem waqs prior to the new calipers its been like this for a year.
Thinking maybe bad MC or BB

 

If the pedal seems to slowly drop as your holding steady pressure with your foot, that is most likely a bad master cylinder. It's the main symptom of an internal leak past the piston seal which allows fluid back up into the reservoir. I've had this on a few Hondas. It usually acts up once it gets hot out. You can actually watch the reservoir rise and fall if have someone else pump the brakes when this is happening.
