Hi everyone

I want to change my brakes today, and I am wondering how hard is it to
do so. If you know any step-by-step guides please let me know. I can do
just about anything, but I want to make sure I don't forget to do
something that is important, that someone may not know.

Thank you

"BRAKE" huh? I assume you mean it's as easy as saying the word brake.

I did it myself, and it wasn't hard at all. It didn't take long, and
while I did that I figured I should change my oil, since I already had
jacked up my civic.

Thanks anyways!

Especially note the part about lubrication of the slide pins. If you didn't
clean and lube those you will be changing pads again soon.
