I've changed a few brake pads but on slightly older cars. I have a 2005 Hybrid and am wondering if it's a relatively easy DIY project before I go out and start buying parts.

I have 55,000 miles and I think I hear the warning squeeling but I'm not entirely sure so I thought I'd get some pads and take a look at how much is left.

Thanks in advance!

 

Parts drawings look like normal Accord brakes. I guess all the Hybrid magic is inside the engine compartment.

 

Get Hawk brake pads

 

Yeah, I like Hawk HPS pads. But as far as how to dismantle the brakes, it's the same as a non-hybrid Accord.

 

I am not ready to do mine on my hybrid yet but since I have noticed that many brake jobs are done by people that should be braindead, I started doing it myself.
My first reward was a $1400 savings.
My other car VW Touareg has big brembo's (stock). Dealer wanted $2000!!!!
So I did for $600 (on line parts) I have since always used hawks. Awesome pads, gentle on the rotors and hardly any dusting.

Once the time is there I will take my time and take it part.
