REQUEST:Changing front and rear brake pads on stock akebono

kenchan

it's a tad more tedious than doing an oil change but it's about the same difficulty level.

make sure you get some brake quiet if you're going to do the pads and put a good amount on the back side between the pad and shim (if your pads use shims).

here's that channel-lock with the rubber cap thingie. this is my G's rear brembo calipers which are pretty much the same design as the akebono's. the red gooey crap is CRC's brake quiet. no noise.
