I think the tourer has a more ballsy hand brake in the expectation of more weight in the rear with loading and what not. Makes sense I guess.
Hi,Martink said:ok guys, i have a few jobs to do on the Accord i just took ownership of.
rear discs and pads being the first.
no worries about me doing this but i wanted to ask if this piston windback tool looks suitable... and more specifically the pin spacing on the tool.... does anyone know if this will sit on the piston and engage in the slots correctly??

it says distance between pin centres is 22mm or 32mm
thanks in advance.
The brake pad needs to be filed down slightly, try a different set of pads i used trw and they fitted straight in although one side did need grinding on the face.DNKimage said:Great write up.
One thing. I'm having a complete nightmare getting the right pads for the rear of my Tourer. Ive been to Eurocarparts (for the last time) 3 times because they keep selling me the wrong parts. I had bought the Eicher rear pads, but the steel backing was bigger and would not slot into the caliper bracket.
Any reccomendations?
Hi there is an issue with the rear pads sticking.f2raf said:Hello, I had all 4 discs and pads changed 3 months ago. I paid 300 and that included a service too. So I suspect around 180-200 is what I paid for the discs and pads. Last month I heard a screeching sound when reversing. Turns out the rear ns caliper was jammed shut and the pad worn on the disc. Took it back to garage and forked out another 150 for a caliper and set of rear pads. Now I've learned from this forum that the rear caliper on the tourer is problematic, what I don't know is if as part of their change of discs and pads they should have done something different to prevent the caliper from sticking. I'm sure this garage is costing me more money than necessary. I've already had to replace the service parts with genuine parts as they used aftermarket filters causing all sorts of poor running issues.
