Hi.

I live in Toronto. I have a 2013 Accord. There were noises coming out from my brakes. It is like a jamming noise. I used this guide to check my brakes How To Diagnose Brake Noises | Service Plus 416 : Toronto Automotive Garage. The guide did not help. I guess it should be the rotor that is making the noise. Can someone tell me how to confirm this and replace the rotor? Otherwise, I will have to take it to some car care centre.

 

Pretty straight forward on the rotor replacement. I do suggest a hand held impact driver to remove the screws hold the rotor to the hub.

Have you removed the whell and inspected the pads. calipers and that?

 

The noise may not be due to the rotors.

Honda America had a technical service bulletin regarding some 2013 Accords:

SYMPTOMS
While turning, a squealing or scraping noise is heard from the front brakes.

PROBABLE CAUSE
The disc brake pad retaining clip (retainer) shifted and is touching the rotor.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Center the retainer in the brake pad holder, and apply a thin coat of Molykote M77 to the edges of the brake pads where they contact the retainer.

 

Sorry for the late reply. Me and my friends took the vehicle to service plus. It was the issue with my rotor. I got them fixed.
Btw, can someone tell me where I can get good speakers for my car. What setup do you recommend?
Ps: my budget is $500.

 

I started a research like that when I got my 2013 used a few weeks ago. Bottom line is most knowledgeable will say speakers only without proper sound proofing/deadening/absorption will be disappointing.


Crutchfield is a good source but they will steer you to 5-1/4 door speakers when 6-1/2 can and do work, that's what comes out.


Differences between trim levels in what head unit and/or amp comes with your car. A sport has no door tweeters but can buy a EX trim piece to accept tweets.


So much to learn and such a poor typer..lol

 

I am not much in to audio equipment. That is the reason why I asked this question. I really did not understand what you meant by 5-1/4 and 6-1/2.
Anyway, I will check out Crutchfield and see what they offer.
Thanks!

 

5-1/4 and 6-1/2 are the diameter of the speakers.

The sound system upgrade really depends on what you want out of your sound system. What sound system is currently in your car? I'm not sure if the newer accords have the premium sound system option when purchasing.
