2011 Honda Pilot - front brake pads replacement

Odometer shows 91,361 miles.

*** Small procedure update, that makes changing the pads easier ***

Do _not_ remove or loosen the upper 17mm caliper bolt.

Only remove the lower 17mm caliper bolt.

Now the caliper will swing upward, exposing the pads and two springs to replace.

Now use the bungie cord to secure the caliper swung up, by putting the bugie hooks in the lower bolt eyelet, and through a spring coil.

By keeping the top bolt fastened, it is easier to install and remove the pads, with less work.

Make sure to clean the bolt, and use blue loctite, when reinstalling the lower 17mm caliper bolt back in. Refer to the existing procedure for all the details of re-installation and safe checks / safety drive.
