How do i change the front brake pads on a honda civic type r?
Answers:
Some people have great confidence in garages!
After a major service my car did 4 (FOUR) miles before a grinding noise occur ed due to there being NO LINING on the rear brakes. Another time they adjusted the rear brake clearance by tightening the handbrake cable. When loaded this pulled the brakes on - gently - and heated up the drums to the point where the grease in the bearing ran out into the drum ad ruined the race and the linings - no rear brakes!
Most main dealer garages rely on company car repairs and many of them cannot even blow up the tyres to the correct - or even the same - pressures. Believe me I have checked.
And so on and so on.
If you must use a garage go to a local - one man - one. He relies on doing a good job or his name gets round and he goes out of business.
Get a Haynes manual and have confidence.

take it to a garage
I'm not terribly familiar with Japanese makes, but what I am sure about is the sizes of the fasteners they use. Mostly 8, 10, 12, 14, and 17mm hex sizes should more than cover what you'll need for this job. Hope this helps.

hang onn chap, its a type R.. go to a garage, it might just save your life. admittedly theyre easy to change, but if you have no idea at all, then you could just as easily get it wrong..and exactly when would you prefer to find out youve got no brakes? its easy for a competent mechanic, 30 quid plus the bits. should do it.
dont be a cheapskate, surely your life is worth 50 quid.
