really pretty straightforward - not any different than other honda pad replacements. Just a couple of bolts holding the calipers on (however, I needed a breaker bar to loosen them on my 2001 CLS).

Next, remove the brake fluid cover, use a large clamp to carefully depress the piston and insert the new pads.

Shouldn't be that difficult, unless it's 103 degrees outside!!

it is like a 103 out side and i almost puked...ended up doing way more work on the first one than was nessecary...ended up taking the entire caliper off only to find out that you just rotate the pistons and they retract theres a large cross cut out of them so i just stuck a screw driver in there and turned it and it retracted all the way with about 3-4 turns...secon set i changed in 15 minutes
