Brake maintenance jobs - Honda Prelude Forum

This weekend I'm installing new Brembo front rotas and new Ferodo pads. I also want to paint the calipers red - my 95 VTEC is black with 17inch spoked alloys so I think thats the look to go for.

Want to know if it's worth renewing the brake fluid at the same time (I'm on 70,000 miles). So how hard is it to do and does the ABS system add any complications.

thanks for any help.

You're going to have to bleed your brake fluids if you're taking off you calipers. If your car's at 70k and you're not sure when the last time your fluid was changed, I would go for a full flush. ABS does not complicate things. The ABS does not need to be bled. Do a search on this site for instructions to bleed or completely flush your brake fluid.
