Default Re: 2005 HAH brake job

Installing the new rear brake pads was a piece of cake...anyone that can use a 12mm socket, 17mm open end wrench and large channel lock pliers could do it. Total $60 for OEM Nissin (Findlex) pads and about 25 minutes per wheel and she's now good as new. No squeaks, no vibrations. Compared to pad replacements that I've done on other cars, the HAH is by far the easiest and most straightforward. Hats off to bar10dah here for assistance with the details...you're the man!

At 54,600 miles, the rear outboard pads had worn to +/- 1/8" wearing surface remaining, but the inboard pads were down to about 1/16"!! Rotors still in very good condition.
