hes just doing the pads. all u gotta do is take off one bolt on the caliper, it swings down, take out the pads, put new ones in, swing back up, put bolt in. done.

oh sorry i assumed he would be doing it the correct way and removing the rotors to replace or turn them. Some of the mid 90s japanese rotors are pressed onto the hub,thats why i asked. Unless replacement is needed, i just resurface them on the car. thanks for the quick brake job lesson though!

Well, that went shitty. Freaking frozen caliper bolts, I just told her to just take it to a shop. What is it about those bolts that they always get frozen? All 3 cars I've done brakes on they've been frozen.

Also, I spied a shiny new tool in my trunk. Thanks Jordan.

Try a breaker bar next time. I.E. - A pipe slid over the end of your ratchet.

A breaker bar, a BMW jack, and lots of PB blaster was how I've gotten mine done before, Unfortunately, that honda's brakes were not set up friendly for a breaker bar, and I didn't want to deal with it.
