Do you need a special tool to replace rear brake pads on a 2006 Acura TSX?
Yes you do. The tool is sold at Autozone and is called a brake caliper tool. It looks like a metal box frame with tabs sticking off of it. You will use the tool to turn the caliper piston clockwise back into the piston. It is mounted on an internal screw. I found this out firsthand when I couldn't compress the piston with my c-clamp like most brake jobs I've done in the past and ultimately had to buy a rebuilt caliper.
There is a special tool but it is not needed. All you need is a large flat head screw driver. You will be able to rotate the piston by placing the flat head screw driver into 1 of the slots and turning it. The special tool fits all 4 slots to rotate the piston so your pads can clear the rotor but a screw driver will work just fine. This is what I did to complete my rear brake job.
How many quarts oil does 2004 Acura TSX hold?
4 quarts any four cylinder engine ususlly takes four quarts I have a tsx so i know it is four...
The owner's manual states that when changing the OIL and FILTER (which should be done every time you change the oil) it is 4.7 quarts. You can safely put in a 5 quart jug as the extra oil does not do any harm. If you don't change the filter, it's 4.4 quarts.
Just because you own the car doesn't mean you know how to read the owner's manual.
