How to change the front brakes on 1995 honda accord lx 2.2?

i need to know the step by step procedure to change the front brake pads on 1995 honda accord lx 2.2How to change the front brakes on 1995 honda accord lx 2.2?1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the

car and support on safety stands. remove the lug nuts and the wheel

2. Remove the lower caliper bolt and pivot the caliper

up out of the way. (If I remember the caliper bolt is 11mm but could be larger) the caliper bolts come through from the back of the caliper through the caliper and pads to the outer side of the caliper. The caliper bolts have a rubber boot between the bolt head and the caliper. You may need to hold the square lock washer in place with an open end wrench if the bolt turns but doesn't come out as the bolt sometimes rusts to the guide. Also, you may have to loosen the upper caliper bolt to get the caliper to pivot upwards.

3. Remove the pad shims, pad retainers and pads

4. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and

check for grooves and cracks.

5. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.

6. Install the pad retainers

7.Apply Molykote M77 grease to the inner side of the

pad shims and the back of the pads. Wipe excess

grease off the shim.

8) push the caliper pistons back into the caliper using a special tool or a large set of channel lock plyers. be sure to leave the inner brake pad in place when pushing the piston back to avoid damage to the piston or seal

9. Install the new brake pads and pad shims correctly.

10. Pivot the caliper down into position, then install the lower

caliper bolt and tighten it.

11. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure

the brakes work, reinstall the wheel, tighten the lug nuts then road-test.
