Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels. Remove flange bolts while holding pins with a wrench being careful not to damage pin boot, and remove caliper. Check hose and pin boots for damage and deterioration. Remove pad shims, pads, and pad retainers. Clean caliper thoroughly; remove any rust and check for grooves and cracks. Check thickness of brake pads. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS .
For Odyssey, apply Dow Corning Molykote M77 grease to pad side of outer shims, both sides of inner shim and the back of pads. Wipe off excess. Install brake pads and shims correctly. Install pad with wear indicator on inside. If you are reusing pads, reinstall in original position. Push in piston so caliper is on position to prevent damaging it when installing caliper. Install caliper into position. Install flange bolts, and torque them to specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Press brake pedal several times to make sure brakes work, then test-drive.
For S2000, apply Dow Corning Molykote M77 grease to pad side of shims. Wipe off excess. Install brake pads and shims correctly. Install pad with wear indicator on inside. If you are reusing pads, reinstall in original position. Rotate piston clockwise into cylinder, then align cutout in piston with tab on inner pad by turning piston back. See Fig 1 . Lubricate boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting piston boot. If piston boot is twisted, back it out so it is positioned properly. To complete installation, reverse removal procedures.
