I just did a pad slap on my 1998 Accord LX 4 banger.
Car was purchases new by my folks and did not get used much; I have always serviced it and it has always been garaged.
A year ago I gave the car to a friend who is a single Mom; it had 80K and now has 112K.
I think I used Thermoquad pads last time; many moons ago...
On both sides, the inner pad was worn nearly to the noise indicator; the outer pad was perhaps half worn.
The caliper slider pins were not stuck and still had grease; rust is not an issue in the SF Bay Area.
So I replaced the pads and hardware with Raybestos new hybrid pads.
I did a quick file clean up of the brackets where the hardware sits (didn't take much) and applied a littlle brake grease.
Cleaned and greased the slider pins. Calipers slide fine.
Any other pointers? I see this problem all too often on Hondas and Acuras. Recently did a 2007 TSX that was professionally maintained; same thing.
Thanks for your help.
