Euro rear pad replacement

[Eurotony]

Does anyone have any experience with replacing the rear brake pads on the Euro. My car is having a 60k service today & the dealer just rang & said they will change them for $250.00??#$%%^$####????

Are they any harder on the Euro than any other car???? :confused:

Any tips would be gratefully recieved.

no way man too exxy....which dealer is doing the service?

Southside Honda want $250.00. I can get the genuine pads for $144.00 & fit them myself. Is anyone aware of any tricks in fitting them or are they straight forward?? :D

Straight forward job, you'll prolly have no problems with it :)

I have seen my friend taken then out when he help me painted the calipers. It is the same as all the others.

Here's the service bulletin on changing the rear pads. Remember to apply the anti-sieze grease!

Eurotony: is $250 including machining of the discs? or for rear brake pads replacement only?

[bogan]

Eurotony - that's about the right price. Just had my rears done on my Euro and it was $240 done with Honda. No machining of the discs.

Definately exxy but seeing as i'm selling the car soon, I wanted Honda to do it so it'll "look" better with the service history.

No I don't believe that the price included the machining of the disc's. I have sourced genuine pads for $122.00 & will replace them myself with the help of aaronngs service bulletins. I have been working on cars & 4wd's for years, so changing brake pads is not that hard.
As far as keeping the service history current, as long as the service book is stamped at the correct service intervals, having your pads replaced by the dealer at the service will not really make any difference at trade in time other than knowing that you have not had a back yarder working on your car.
At least doing it yourself (providing that you don't take short cuts) you will know that the job has been done properly. In reality, how do you really know the the first year apprentice has done your sump plug up properly at your dealer service??? :D

As far as I know, only the scheduled service records are important for resale. All the brake pad changes and replacement parts are not recorded down in the service booklet.

the euro accord uses the same brake pads a SV 4 or commonly known as CD accord. Just get some bendix advance for the rear about 65 bux trade from repco. They always been good pads and does not dust heavy. Only thing is sometimes can be a little sqeaky. Don't get the geniune pads a waste of money for what ur getting.
