Acura 43022-SV4-G23 Rear Disc Brake pad Set

Most models have disc brakes at the front and rear, while some Integra models feature rear drum brakes. The replacement procedure for rear brake pads involves several steps: first, remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir, then loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Next, remove the rear wheels, working on one brake assembly at a time and using the assembled brake for reference if necessary. Inspect the brake disc carefully, and if machining is needed, follow the appropriate guidelines to remove the disc, allowing for the removal of calipers and pads. Before removing any components, spray the caliper and brake pads with brake cleaner to eliminate dust from brake pad wear. After completing these initial steps, apply a thin coat of disc brake anti-squeal compound on the backing plates of the new pads according to the manufacturer's recommendations, then install the shims onto their respective pads. If removed, install the pad retainers in the caliper mounting bracket, lubricating them with a thin film of silicone grease. Proceed to install the new pads and shims into the caliper mounting bracket, then retract the piston by engaging the tips of a pair of needle-nose pliers with two grooves in the top of the piston and turning it clockwise until it bottoms out. Rotate the piston out until one of its grooves aligns with the tab on the inner brake pad during caliper installation, adjusting the position as necessary. Install the caliper protector, followed by the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Finally, check the brake fluid level and add fluid if needed, then apply and release the brake pedal and hand brake lever several times to ensure the pads contact the brake discs, checking the operation of the brakes in a safe area before driving in traffic.

Inspect the brake disc carefully; if machining is necessary, remove the disc to access the calipers and pads.
