Rear pads worn
This week I thought I heard the pad wear indicators on my '04 Accord. I
looked at the pads from the outside and all looked well. But upon removal of the rear pads, the outer pad looked okay but the inner pad was worn to the indicator .The car has 29000 easy miles. The fronts look to be about 40% worn and the rears were done. Put on new pads from Honda and all is good again. Still suprised the rears went out before the fronts. I not complaining. This is the first money spent on this car. I love this car and plan many more years of driving. Scott |

They were telling you something when they wore out unevenly. Sliders are seized. 'Curly' |

To the OP: Your rear pads should have fallen off by themselves when the caliper came off. If you had to pry them loose, then the outer pad was stuck from rust. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/rustybrakes/brakes1.html -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
