Default 2008 Accord Front Brake Change?

I have searched but can not find a DIY link for changing front pads. Anyone have a link I could look at so I can figure out what I need to do?

Thanks!

I doubt there are many DIY links for 08+ Accords, but it should be very similar to the previous generation. My pads were wearing pretty even, so I just removed one caliper bolt, and pivoted the caliper up. Important to replace the shims, and apply the anti-squeal paste in the right areas. push the piston back in with a C-clamp (with the reservoir cap off). Maybe you can get a Haynes shop manual from a local parts store for the specifics. If you do the rears, remember that the caliper piston turns in, so a C-clamp will not work there.
