I'm a student and don't have much cash...so I'm replacing my own brake pads. My question is, what bolts do I need to take off to remove the front brake pads for a 2004 v6 accord? I have seen some instructions that just say take off the main mounting bolts, and then some say I have to remove the brake hose bolt and drain the master cylinder. Thanks for your help!

DO NOT UNSCREW THE HOSE BOLT AND DRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on the inboard (engine side) there will be two caliper to bracket bolts. Unscrew those two bolts and with a wire hanger or a ziptie, secure the caliper......DO NOT LET IT HANG BY THE HOSE!!!!!
now there will be two more bolts holding the bracket onto the spindle. Unscrew them and remove the bracket and pads from the rotor.
Remove the rotor from the hub. it might take some help with a hammer. when its off take the rotor to a machine shop and have it resurfaced.
when you get the rotor back, wipe it down with brake cleaner and install it back onto the hub. replace the brake hardware on the bracket and intall the new pads.
bolt the bracket onto the spindle over the rotor.
slide the caliper back into place and bolt it back up. Pump the brake pedal a few times to set the pads in place.
