How do you change rear brake pads on an 1989 Honda Prelude?

Answer 1

Due to unforseen consequences, you should really let a professional do your brakes. If you still insist, then, You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

Answer 2

Basically, your question is too vague - either you've never done this before and need complete detailed instructions, or you're in the middle of the project and you're stuck. Not knowing how old this post is, you're probably done already.

In addition to getting a Clymer's or Hayne's manual from the library for the detailed instructions, the 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee was manufactured with ATE Teves calipers (up to 5/10/2002 or Akebono calipers (5/11/2002 and on). DON'T rely on this date because Chrysler had an exchange program to replace the Teves with Akebonos. So a previous owner may have done that.

The Teves calipers have a heavy duty (thick) wire across the wheel side of the caliper, that holds the pads in place. There's also a number, 4802, stamped on the back of the caliper. The Akebono caliper has no wire, and the number 4835 is stamped on the back of the caliper.

Once you know which caliper you have, you can pick up your new pads and start your brake job.

Answer 3

First, lift the car, then remove the tire, brake shoe/caliper and the old brake pad. Next put in the new brake pad, put the shoe/caliper back in its place, put the tire back on and lower the car to the ground.

Answer 4

Remove wheels

Remove caliper mounting bolts

Slide caliper off rotor

Rotor should slide of hub

if you are talking about a 86-90 323 then that answer is partly correct to remove the DISKs from the front you will need a slide hammer or i have actually used a steering wheel puller once. in either case after removing the tire and the caliper assembly attach the slide hammer to the lugs with your lugnuts and TIGHTEN THEM SECURELY( or you will most likely strip, bend or break at least one of your lugnuts). and using the slide hammer repetedly 'slidehammer it off' if it doesn't appear to be working TRY HARDER and put some penitrating lube on it. Thats it, but before you do this make sure that you have new inner and outer wheel bearings and plenty of grease

Answer 5

Choc wheels on vehicle to prevent rolling. Jack up rear of vehicle. Remove rear wheel(s). Remove the two bolts from the caliper. Lift caliper off rotor and set aside (do not let it dangle by the break line though ,,, hang it off to the side with a piece of coathanger wire). Pull rotor off hub (just pull straight back) (Inspect parking brakes (inside rear of where rotor was covering) and replace/repair as/if required. Install new rotor. Remove old brake shoes from brake caliper removed earlier. (push button in center to release pads from caliper). Use c clamp to push piston back into caliper to allow for new pads to fit on and fit over new rotor. (Good idea to place one of the old pads over the piston first vs just putting the c clamp right on to the piston to avoid damaging the piston). Install new pads. install caliper back over rotor and re install the two bolts. Grease bolts as per insructions in pkg. (you should have gotten a small pkg of silicon lube with the break shoes (Do not use regular grease as it may run onto your break pads when they heat up from stopping ,,, grease and brakes are not a good mix). Your done, re-install wheels, remove from jack, start vehicle, pump brake pedal a few times to ensure it firms up, test drive for noises.
