Changing brake on a car with ABS?

2001 Honda Accord w/ ABS. I had rear brakes (PAD) changed at a shop. They put the car on the wrack and it never came down while the brakes were changed. The process looked identical to changing brake on a car w/o ABS.



If ABS doesn't effect the process of brake changes, I'd like to change the front brakes (PAD)myself at my home garage. Is it safe to do so? Both front and rear are pads.
Changing brake on a car with ABS?
the process is similar to doing brakes that aren't abs,but there's a different procedure to bleeding them out,if their not bleed out right they wont work right,you also have to loosen the bleeders when you depress the piston in for the calipers,other wise the wont work right,its not as easy as it looks and its not hard either,tools will be a main concern you must have the right tools to work with,you also need to have a good repair manual on hand to work with,other wise you will need information and it wont be there,so get a really good repair manual and it will help you a lot on doing this,good luck with it.
Changing brake on a car with ABS?
its the same exact process. the only thing ABS does is pulses the brakes extremely fast so you stll have strong stopping control, but without the skidding.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE CORRECT TOOLS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT BUT IF YOU FINISH AND THERE IS AIR IS THE BRAKE SYSTEM THEN YOU SHOULD STOP BECAUSE IT WILL NEED TO BE BLEED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL.
For safety, you need %26quot;jack stands%26quot; available at auto stores and many Sams and Costco price clubs. The car jack can't be used safely to hold the car up while you crawl under to unbolt the caliper bolts etc.

I had an autoshop teacher back in high school totally wig out

on me for changing the brake pads on a 97 accord without cracking open the bleeder valve while compressing the caliper and bleeding the system afterwards for fear that pushing fluid backwards through the abs motor will fry it. After asking 2 ASE certified technicians at Honda ( 10+ years exp. each) 1 Honda service advisor , 1 Mitsubishi service tech (15 years experience) and researching. I have come to find that it is not completely neccessary to do anything different for a pad change on a car with ABS. None of the mechanics disconnected the brake lines and bled the system some of them would pinch the brake line with a special brake line clamp ( sounds a bit iffy to me like it would weaken the hose) I have done pad changes on a 2002 Maxima, 1995 Legend, and a handful of other cars with no adverse effects. The way I see it, just make sure your brake fluid is squeaky clean, if it is a bit dark I would change it instead of run DIRTY brake fluid back through the ABS motor. I don't know of any instances where an ABS system has been damaged doing it the traditional way, but thats not to say it hasnt happened before. Until the day I get an ABS light on the dash after a pad change,I will keep doing it the old way .
just a disc brake change like any car with or without ABS brakes, no difference in installation.
