Default Caliper replacement

I havea '94 Accord LX and need to replace the front brake pads & probably calipers as the pads only wear in one corner bad and are griding now. Can someone give me a rundown on how to replace the calipers? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your description of the problem sounds more like one the slider pinsis frozen.
I'd check that first before replacing the calipers

Any aftermarket shop manual; Haynes or Chilton will describe the procedure to inspect calipers and slide pins.

You can download a 94-97 manual from Online Manuals FAQ links.

Search is now working and there are some good posts and pics on replacing the rotors, if that is necessary. Replacing rotors requires a bit of work to access the bearing hub which traps the rotor. Again there is info in the DIY FAQ's.

good luck
