FN2R - Civic Type R 2007 - Brake Service - Bendix Pads

<- Rear piston retracting tool

Had to do a brake pad change for the Civic Type R. It had about 80k km on the clock, I am not sure if its the first time it needed pads, but all 4 were well gone.





Rears are a TRW caliper and the fronts were NISSIN ->
Piston must be turned clockwise to wind it back, release hand brake.
If its not going in, try wind it a little out then back in, apply pressure when pushing it back in. I use a drill attached to help.
You can use long nose pliers, but u might damage the piston or go crazy if its not playing ball.

It must have a very balanced bias, or too much at the rear if its chewing that much.

No difference from any other brakes, single floating pot at the front. G clamp to retract the piston. You can crack the nipple open or just remove the brake fluid refill cap.
We were doing a full bleed, so any suited.



< Fronts, the usually retaining clips





Rears using a 13mm and 15mm to remove the retaining pin >













Needed pads ASAP hence Bendix, no stock of the REMSA or FERODO
DB2177 GCT for the Rears
DB1452 GCT for the Front.
