Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20071997 CRV brakes
What is the best way to do the brakes on 97 crv? I have the book, but my real question is about the brease. Do I put it on the shims? all sides? I know to put them on caliper pins. On the caliper anywhere? I have all honda parts from majestic. bigjcw1023@gmail.com wrote in news:1190869507.434899.157020@ 22g2000hsm.googlegroups.com: > What is the best way to do the brakes on 97 crv?

If you do put some on the shims, put a dab of Sil-Glyde on the pad side of each backing shim. The dab should be 1/4" diameter for the fronts, and 1'8" dia for the rear discs (if so equipped). The thickness of the dab should be /no more/ than the thickness of a business card. The stuff will spread like crazy once squeezed by the caliper. You need Sil-Glyde for the pins and their boots.

The rear shoes last almost forever, and the new ones don't come with much meat on them, so measure them before replacing. Make sure you lubricate the sliders on the front calipers.

The inner pad has two shims, should I grease all four sides and the back of the pad? Also, what about any parts of the pad/shims set that comes in contact with the caliper. bigjcw1023@gmail.com wrote in news:1190950928.431432.308280 @o80g2000hse.googlegroups.com: >> bigjcw1...@gmail.com wrote: >> > What is the best way to do the brakes on 97 crv?

I repeat it here: Put no grease /anywhere/ on the pads or mount bracket except on the pad backing shims (and even that is optional). If you do put some on the shims, put a dab of Sil-Glyde on the pad side of each backing shim. The dab should be 1/4" diameter for the fronts, and 1'8" dia for the rear discs (if so equipped).
