brake pads. pull the wheel, there's a small bolt on the back of the caliper, a 12mm i think, maybe 14. take it out, the caliper will swing away from the rotor. swap pads, keep the clips on the ends of the pads. slide it back down and tighten up that bolt again. you'll need to compress the cylinder into the caliper. you'll see what im takling about when you take it off. to compress the cylinder use a C clamp.

Also, the rear brake cylinders wont push back in, you will need to turn them back in (if you even have rear brakes). You'll see what i mean when you take the pad off.

yea the rear pistons on the crx's are hard to figure out.. you need to screw them back in,not compress them.so you can but the tool at bap,or just use a flat object or a screw driver...and nimja kmfdm rules...
