Brake caliper pistons press outward to contact the brake pads against the brake discs.
While front disc brake pads are featured on the 2005 Honda CR-V, the rear brakes can build in either drum brake shoes or rear CD brake pads. There's a minimal procedural discongruity replacing either the front or rear CD brake pads. The front brakes invoice for up to 75 percent of the braking ability for the SUV while the rear brakes (shoes or pads) return on the remaining braking enforcement. Rear brake shoes may persist longer nevertheless are not as direct as rear CD brake pads with regard to braking performance.
Instructions
1. Remove half the textbook of brake fluid from the skilled cylinder of the CR-V using a brake fluid suction baster and discard the doddering fluid.
2. Position a revolve wedge against the outer tread of the tire on the diametric axle of the one you're replacing the brake pads on.
4. Lift one side of the axle at a day using a jack then lower the jack so the CR-V is supported onto a jack stand placed under the respective lift mark located on the front and rear rocker panels. When one side of the CR-V is supported on a jack stand, lift the other side of the twin axle and benefit that on a jack stand too.
3. Levy a compatible socket onto the breaker bar then crack the circle nuts loose on the two tires of the equivalent axle you're replacing the brake pads on. Bring about not turn the lug nuts also than half a turn.
5. Remove the spin nuts and tire assemblies from both side of the hire axle.
6. Remove the lower caliper bolt for the front brake pad to be replaced using the ratchet and a metric socket, or remove both caliper bolts on the rear caliper using the ratchet and a metric socket. Focus the front caliper downward and elsewhere from the brake pads and caliper support plate, or remove the rear caliper from the brake pads and caliper relieve plate. Hang the rear caliper with a length of wire to the rear suspension.
7. Incorporate the caliper piston compression effects inside the caliper housing so the impel screw is inside the caliper piston and the plate of the stuff is braced against the inside of the outer caliper housing. Tighten the operate screw to push the caliper piston inpouring until it is fully seated inside the caliper Muzzle.
8. Remove the outer and inner brake pads (front or rear respectively) from the caliper brace plates.
9. Utilize brake pad/caliper grease to the tabs of the replacement brake pads that Friend to the caliper base clips then use a thin coating of grease on the elsewhere pad plates. Include the replacement pads into the caliper benefit plates.
10. Exchange the calipers (axle the front ones upward over the brake pads and column plates, or remove the wire from the rear calipers and put them over the pads and abutment plates), then affiliate the caliper bolts to the calipers. Tighten the front lower caliper bolts to 25 foot-pounds with the torque ratchet and compatible socket, or tighten the rear caliper bolts to 16 foot-pounds with the torque ratchet and socket.
11. Convert the tire assemblies and rotate nuts. Tighten the nuts in a crisscross fashion using the breaker bar and a socket until the tire assemblies are definite against the shove hub. Lower one side of the CR-V at a date then torque the circle nuts (using the crisscross action) to 80 foot-pounds with the torque ratchet and a socket.
12. Top the skilled cylinder off with brake fluid then convert the embrace. Pump the brake pedal to extend the caliper pistons and seat the brake pads until you can no longer press the brake pedal else than midway to the floorboard. Recheck the brake fluid common and top off to the filled path with brake fluid. Replace the cap, remove the wheel chocks then test-drive the CR-V for braking performance.
