Going to help the neighbor replace the brakes on his Honda this Saturday. The front brakes are no problem at all. I have a question on the rear that pertains to the parking brake on the caliper. How difficult is this to reset? I have looked in the normal places for assistance (AutoZone repair guides) but they do not list this year. Any advice (or links) appreciated. It looks like it is a mechanical cam through the caliper.TIAGM

Honda typically spends lots of money on engines and "safety", but then recoups the cost on things like brakes.If the parking brake is actuated through a lever on top of the caliper, then the lever must be hard against its post (once piston slack is taken up) before the cable is adjusted.If the levers are not against their posts, back off the parking brake cable adjuster until the levers are against their posts, then take up the parking brake cable's slack.Make certain that the clevises can swivel freely. If they are seized, PB cable adjustments will be incorrect.Incorrection will also result if the caliper pistons are seized, which is a distressingly common occurrece.

Been doing mine for 25.

Then it wasn't "warp". Probably either corrosion or glaze that eventually wore off.

Tegger, Did all 4 corners this morning. No problems at all. Calipers were free with minimal cleaning needed. Pistons screwed back in easy as can be. The video was great. Thanks A Bunch! GM
