What to do if your Honda Accord brake light is not working?
If you replaced the bulbs and the brake lights still aren’t work, try checking the brake light fuse. Your fuse box is located under the hood, and the owner’s manual will display the exact location of the brake light fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it. This should resolve your issue.

Remove the bolts, and the caliper will come right off. Set the caliper aside if it is still good and doesn’t need replacing. Otherwise, you’ll install the new caliper after the rotors are replaced. If you are going to replace the calipers, you’ll need to bleed the lines at this point.
How do you change the brake pads on a car?
Change the brake shoes on the opposite wheel and then install both brake drums and tires. Lower the vehicle and depress the brake pedal several times to allow the self-adjusting spring bolt on the rear brake assemblies to adjust the rear brakes. It is better to change brake shoes or pads in pairs.
How do you replace rotors on a Honda Accord?
Honda married the hub and wheel bearing unit together and the rotors behind that. These have to come off to get to the rotors.

What to use to replace brake pads on Honda Accord?
There are four 12 mm bolts on the rear of the hub that need to be removed. Use an offset wrench for this. They will fit in there nicely and allow the removal of those bolts. You will have to push the drive shaft protector away to get the wrench in there, and you may need to use some WD40 or other spray lubricant to help get those bolts loose.

How do you remove paint from Honda brake pads?
You can use a set of channel lock pliers or a C-clamp (an adjustable clamp in the shape of a C) to squeeze the piston slowly until it bottoms out in the brake caliper. Brake fluid will remove the finish on your car’s paint. If left on the paint for long enough, it will remove the paint completely. The slide pins of the caliper need to move freely.
