How hard is it to replace the brake pads on the front disk brakes? Is it something I could do myself? I have an 86 accord lx.

Thanks.

It is really easy. Pretty much take the bottom bolt off the caliper, swing the caliper up, take the pads out, push the piston back in with a C-clamp, put new pads in, lower the caliper back in place, put bolt back on...

Thats pretty much it, do you have a Haynes Manual or anything? It will help you out.

good luck

James, I could give you a hand with it sometime if you like. It's pretty easy as described above.
