Go download the service manual and get your info form the source (http://files.clubcivicquebec.com/Man...a_TSX_2009.pdf).

It's no harder than any other 4 wheel disc cars. The only sucky part is the rotor retaining screws if you live in the rust belt parts of the nation.

most modern cars use a "floating caliper" set up.

if you changed one, you've changed them all!!
