How to Replace Rear Disc Brakes in a Acura Integra

Replacing the rear disc brakes on an Acura Integra is a pretty basic process. It does, however, require the use of a specific brake grease, Molykote M77, for the proper operation of the brakes. Read further to learn how to replace the rear disc brakes on your Integra in about an hour.

Instructions

1

Siphon half of the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir. This will prevent overflow when compressing the piston into the bore. Use a syringe or suction gun to siphon the fluid and empty it into an approved, sealed container.

2

Raise the rear of the Integra off the ground with a car jack. Preventing it from tipping by using jack stands to support it on all sides. Keep children and animals away from the car while servicing it.

3

Loosen the lug nuts with a torque wrench and remove the rear wheels from the Integra. Place the wheels on the ground face up to prevent damage to them.

4

Disconnect the brake hose bracket located on the rear-trailing arm, and then take off the caliper shield. Remove the caliper from the bracket by unscrewing the caliper mounting bolts. Take out the pad shims and brake pads.

5

Rotate the caliper back into the piston using a lock-nut wrench. Once retreated, turn it back slightly to line the cutout in the piston with the tab on the inboard brake pad.

6

Clean the mounting bracket, caliper assembly and brake disc. Check for damage and replace if necessary. Grease the brake pads and shims with Molykote M77 brake grease.

7

Install the brake pads and shims to the caliper bracket. Lay the caliper over the brake pads and tighten the mounting bolts then cover it with the caliper shield. Replace the wheels and lower the Integra.
