I ordered some new Axxis MM pads for my 95 accord ex 4dr. I planned to install them myself, but I talked to a guy at a local shop and he said that they are harder to do because you need a caliper compressor. I'm not sure what the frick that was all about, maybe the caliper compressor for the piston? I thought you just turned the piston clockwise with like a metal spatula or something. Is it different on 95 accords? Thanks guys.

 

take a bid screwdriver and turn clockwise while pushing inward,they will go right in

 

C-Clamp usually works pretty good

 

thanks guys, that's what i thought. next question. when and how do you bleed a brake line when you're installing new brake pads?

 

if you do not open the line,there is no need to bleed it

 

Unless you're changing out a caliper, you really don't have to bleed your brakes. Only if you really want to change your brake fluid because of time. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about the bleeding the brakes.

Not on the rears. The screwdriver is the way to go.

 

So you guys are sure I don't need to bleed the brakeline when just changing pads? Thanks for all your advice guys.

Yup C clamp can do damage. Just use a big *** screwdriver

 

In this post they say you need to bleed the caliper. Is he right?
