90 accord brake caliper help needed

[H22Artman]

OP did you compress the piston back in to the caliper?

From the sounds of it you didnt.

When your pads wear down the piston comes out farther and farther. When you install new pads ( and maybe rotors ) they are thicker. You need to push the piston back in with a C clamp and a block of wood.

if he has new/rebuilt units he shouldnt have to (especially if loaded). at least not much.

hey i have a 90 accord and am havin alot of trouble with finding calipers for it they are nissan stamped and the vin says its a US model but every caliper that i have ordered has been wrong if someone knows what is left for me to do let me know

If available buy the 92-95 Prelude calipers. They will work great.

sounds like a stock setup.
nobody in their right mind would go thru the trouble of another rotor under hub swap on an accord.

you really shouldnt be having a problem with anything but stock calipers.

methinks you should try the numbers i suggested...

i really think you need to try the nissin calipers again.

maybe you got an abnormally thick set of pads the first time. i've seen it happen before.

going over the pics i have on file for the NAPA parts...

you DEFINITELY have the numbers i suggested earlier. try them again.

NAPA numbers: 242-62075 and 076.

Just curious, but is this a pretty typical way of doing a brake job? Not saying it's wrong, it's just that I find it easier to remove the caliper and bracket in one piece rather than removing the caliper from the bracket... maybe my way is wrong and this is the best way? Just wonderin...

But back on topic here... I'm suprised you are having so much difficulty getting a caliper. I believe Akebono and Nissin will fit.

Here's what I pulled up for a 90 4DR LX. Not sure exactly what you have, but check it out. Your caliper says 17CL-14VN which is Nissin. You already know that, but there is also an Akebono caliper available.

If nothing else, just go to this site and put in your own info.
