Need new brake pads

MaskedJellybean · Post by **MaskedJellybean** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 7:49 pm

I just got my spree,

and so far it runs great. They only problem I've had with it is a squeaking noise, which I think is from the wheels. I'm guessing it's the brakes, but tell me if you think otherwise. So I'll have to change the brake pads apparently, but I don't know where to get new pads. Do they sell them for the Spree at a Honda dealer still? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm no mechanic (at all), but I wouldn't think brake pads would be that hard to install, are they?

not really. just remove the tire and you will see them. not much to them.

yeh shouldn't be hard. just some tiny drums. I've been on my front brake (and feet) for pretty much the whole time I've had my spree and its all good. Burnt the rear brake while trying to show off..

you could try some grease on the mounting locations, i know thats how it is for every car ive ever done brakes on.

they mostly squeak because of the 2 surfaces coming together.pad/drum
