Good job Toni. I changed my front pads, on 1995 honda accord. Almost identical job as yours, except mine was metal against metal. Sounding like a scream... Haha

[@ToniReviews]

Hi Tony. Good to hear you changed them, especially as it was metal on metal…lol. Thanks for sharing, good news too for anyone reading this thread with a Honda! Thanks for sharing your story 👍👌

Those front pads look like they would pass next year's MOT let alone this year's. I'm glad you did the job yourself Toni and didn't give those chancers £80 an hour for the privilege. I wish you had worn gloves to do the job though as dirty hands give me the Willie's.😁

I agree they had plenty of wear left. And yes I also had the gloves out, but had semi started and decided to carry on at that point. It’s going to take a good few weeks of scrubbing to get my hands back to my normal.

If you leave the top bolt in the caliper carrier you can rotate the caliper out of the way without the risk of it falling and damaging the flexi pipe and it make it much easier to retract the pistons. The garage definitely fishing for work. All you can do is not go back and tell them why.

Thanks good tip 👍

[@elliottbracher704]

yeah they would have you at least one pair of discs as well

[@ToniReviews]

Yes exactly. 👍

Nothing wrong with those brake pads on the front I think it's the garage tried to get a job out of you and have your pants down for it ☺️ good job you could do it yourself 😜

Hi @storm in a transit van. Yep totally agree they tried to do a job lot. If it hadn’t have been for the weekend and then not being able to fit n Me in straight away I would’ve fell for it too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment too 👍

Did your brake service light come on ?

[@ToniReviews]

No it didn’t. But one of the rear pads was unevenly worn to the metal so I was surprised it didn’t come on.

[@Storminatransitvan]

the only thing you forgot was a pair of twatting gloves 🧤🤣🤣

[@ToniReviews]

Totally. You know what happened I got the tools out, hands got a little dirty and then I was like stuff it… next time… on the rears! Gloves on promise
