Default Brake Change

I have a 2013 GS non-f. I was wondering was changing the brakes as simple as it is on a 2006. A link to a post would be great.

I'm not too sure about non fsport but I'm pretty sure it's same procedure as fsport. Very simple. Take out pin hold clip from anti rattle then slide the anti rattle pin out. Wiggle and compress the brake pads and you can pull the pads out. Make sure remove the brake fluid cap and look at the fluid level when u compress the Pistons. That's it! Very easy and fast for front brake. For rear, just unbolt brake caliper slider bolts from top and bottom then u can lift up the rear caliper. Then u can access rear brake pads. This link is from 2gen is forum but brake looks like that on 4gs.

Make sure your e-brake is not set to auto.

And make sure you remember the shims.
