Replace the Disc Pads on a Honda Odyssey

The brake pads on the Honda Odyssey work with the rotors and stop your car using friction. The friction wears out the brake pads, which should be replaced periodically. It not a hard project to complete, and you can finish each wheel in about 30 minutes. When you change your brake pads, inspect the rotors. The same friction wears the rotors down, though not as quickly as it does with the brake pads. If you find any grooves on the surface of the rotors, you should deal with those as well

Procedures:
1. Park the Honda on a level surface and turn off the ignition. Place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels. Open the engine compartment and siphon 2/3 of the brake fluid from the master cylinder with the turkey baster. Put the fluid in the drain pan to recycle later. Raise the Odyssey up with the automobile jack. Place a jack stand under the van near the jacking point and raise it to the frame. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench and take the wheel off the van.
2. Remove the brake hose bolt from the bracket using a socket and ratchet. Loosen the lower caliper bolt with the socket and ratchet. Pivot the caliper up and remove the brake pads. Clean the caliper surface with the wire brush. Push the piston into the caliper housing with a brake piston tool.
3. Install the new brake pads and push the caliper down onto the rotor. Tighten the bolt with the socket and ratchet. Install the brake hose bolt into the bracket and tighten it with the socket and ratchet. Put the wheel back on the Odyssey and tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench. Remove the jack stand from under the van and lower the vehicle to the ground. Repeat the process on the other wheel.
4. Check the brake fluid and add to the master cylinder as needed. Pump the brake pedal until it is firm to seat the brake pads on the rotors.
