Will this process still work on my 02 Dodge Neon? You mention that you need a c clamp, where is the best place to purchase one? Also, where should I purchase my brake pads from? http://docable.com/services/

I dig your 92 EX CB7. I have the same car except it's Seattle Silver. Ironic that I live in Seattle. I've done a lot of the same exterior modifications. Clear front turn signals and side markers with amber LED lights. I installed Koni Orange struts (I wish I would have saved for Koni Yellows. H&R sport springs which lowered it 1.5" in front and 1" in the back. I'm sticking with the f22a6 engine though. I plan on turbo charging it to about 10 psi, and the f22 is much easier and forgiving, from the research i've done. I'm no pro tuner so forgive me if I sound like I'm talking out my ass. I've replaced all the bushings in the front end. I did a good job (I think) picking out my cat back. It's 3" has a nice low toned resonator and a stainless steal tube shaped muffler. I've had a lot of Honda's and Acuras and my 92 EX coup has been my favorite. The 86 Acura Legend was the fastest stock but not nearly as fun to drive. I fucked up my CB7 by rear ending an SUV at about 3 to 5 miles an hour, went right under the dudes bumper smashing my left headlight, hood, and corner panels. I was planing on getting a carbon fiber hood and corner panels with shark gills but I think I'm sticking with stock corner panels. I don't want to punk myself. I've become a pretty good painter using Duplicolor paint cans. It's actually cheaper than having an auto paint supplier mix up a batch of paint. The Duplicolor has the hardener and the paint exits the can in a nice fan. Ya just gotta chuck the can when it starts coming out choppy. Thats when you are most likely to get a run. I crack myself up, I'm forty fucking five years old and I sound like an excited teenager. That's ok, I never planned on growing up. Shiny things that go fast and sound cool will probably always give me a chubby. I'm going all the way with my little rice grinder. the suspension, engine, seats, sound system. I don't have to have the fastest CB7, I just want to make macho mustang owners feel insecure and like they have tiny peckers which we all know they do. I admit that a well built v8 sounds nice but a built 4 banger with a light flywheel and an angry sounding engine is music to my ears. It's really quite easy to make your CB7's biggest problem gaining traction which is a problem I'll be happy to have. I have a long way to go. Upper and lower sway bars Koni yellow struts, turbo and everything that goes with it, Recaro seats. 17" flat black 7 to 9 spoke wheels. Stock headlights with Morimoto Xenon lenses and mini gattling shrouds, bigger fuel injecors and a lot, lot more. I could probably buy a car that is newer with less miles and probably even faster but it won't be the car I built. Originality outshines just buying a fast car in my book. My only bit of advise is to take your time, do your research and find a person who really knows how to tune your ride, preferably a dino tune. Oh what fun!!! I've had some really fast bikes. The most insane was a 2000 Hyabusa that went 203 stock but I bought the built one with a ported and polished head and 4 into 1 racing pipe. you could feel the compression standing 15 feet behind the thing. Nothing could touch it except this Ducati 1198, which cost twice as much but a beautiful damn bike, outperformed my Hyabusa in every way, except top speed. But alas we aren't talking about bikes are we? My advice is don't by one. They call them donor cycles at hospitals for a reason. A dude told me a kinda funny joke the other day. What do you call a tuner??? A Honda....

I guess I don't see why you need to take out the 17mm bolts. If you take both of the 12mm caliper bolts completely, won't the rotor come off? I know that you don't need to remove the 17mm bolts when just doing the pads.

Ok, 10mm wrench did the job.
But I distroyed the cotter pin trying to remove it. I had the fuse box still in place.
I need to remove the fuse box to have free access to the left bolt of the head cilinder.
I removed the 2 bolts on the fuse box, disconnected the 4 connectors on the front, but I can not remove the fuse box !
Any advice anyone ?

Hi.
Thanks for decribing the procedure, the pictures from under the dashboard will help me repairing the MC in my Honda Civic, I expect.
I got one question though: What tool did you use to disconnect the hydrolic line from the MC (main cilinder).
It takes a 10mm wrench, but I am a bit cautious to use much force, as this line is copper, and probably easily damaged.
Would you please share your experience on this detail ?.

I'm not brave enough to mess around with any of the reparations of my car. I need it way too much for something to go wrong. I'd rather just take it in and know that the job will be done correctly.

Always strain the paint prior to spray painting. Even brand-new cans of paint can contain particles which may blemish the final spray painted finish.

Like chainringsize, disc sizes affect power of your braking example, larger discs produce a more powerful braking system. Discs in general can be heavy as they are made from steel compounds so weight is the downside of large disc brake rotors.
