Brake Tooling
What tools are needed to change the rear brake caliper on a 1990 honda prelude?
We are going to change my sister's while we are visiting her but need to know what tools to bring with us. Thanks!
I'm not familiar with a 90 prelude per se, but, assuming you are going to *change the caliper* and that you dont mean change the pads or rotor, here's what *I* would bring.
1) A set of hex wrenches
The caliper is attached with two hex bolts. Unbolt them, and off it comes. That simple.
2) A hammer. Because its not always THAT simple. Tap the caliper, it might be stuck if the pads are worn down, crudded up, or stuck to the rotor.
3) Small wrenches. LIke 1/4" or so. The brake line fastens to the caliper with a smll fitting that screws into the caliper body. Unscrew it, and detach the brake line. It will leak.
4) A 6" c-clamp. I dont know why you need this if you are installing a NEW caliper, but bring it anyway. I use this to push the caliper piston BACK into the body of the caliper itself, when installing new brake pads. If you have a new caliper, it will already be retracted. BUT, if you have purchased used from the junkyard, you will have to push the piston back in yourself. Balance an old brake pad on top of the piston, and then squeeze it with the clamp. DO NOT SUQEEZE THE PISTON WITHOUT AN OLD BRAKE PAD FOR PROTECTION.
5) a CLEAN - repeat - a surgiaclly CLEAN mayonaise jar for bleeding the entire system back to the master cylinder. This MAY not be necessary, but have one on hand anyway. Put a couple of inches of Brake fluid in the jar, then dangle the brake hose in the fluid. Walk to the hood and open the master cylinder. pump the brakes, and air will be exhausted through the brake hose, release the brake and fluid will be sucked back in. Fill as needed. Rettach the brake hose using the 1/4 fitting to the caliper, but leave it 1/2 turn loose. Pump the brakes until it spits fluid out on the down-press, then tighten up full and release the brake. Then back of 1/2 turn, and press brake again. Repeat and repeat until you spit fluid with no air.
6) Big-ass can of brake fluid, DOT type, NOT the cheapo small can, you dont want to run out.
7) New pads. Replace the pads.
Thats all I can think of.
