I have an 05 TSX and need to replace the rear brake pads and rotors. I have a friend who has experience doing the brakes for Hondas, but he is not sure if the brakes on the TSX are the same.
Can anyone offer a step-by-step guide to changing out the rear brake pads and rotors?

 

If your friend has experience changing rear brake rotors and pads on a Accord or Civic, he'll have no problem with a TSX.

 

Chaning the rear pads on this car is like any other honda. You dont need any special tools like the disc caliper tool which rotate and pushes the caliper piston back.

 

Every other Honda I've had with rear disc brakes, including the TSX, requires the tool to twist and push in the piston. I guess it doesn't technically require it but at $5 for the tool it's totally worth not stabbing yourself in the hand with a screwdriver.
