Maybe I'm missing the point, but all cars (with the exception of P-cars) have to have at least one bolt removed and the other losened so you can rotate the caliper off of the rotor. I leave the top so it rotates up. If your civic is like my old Accord, the back pistons have a slot. You have to turn it with a specail tool (although I used an L bracket screwed to a block of wood). The fronts just push in with a large C-clamp. But, push them in slowly so you don't blow seals. It's also a good idea to use Silicone Spray on the piston seals so there's no chance of tearing them.

No A/C, no Sun Roof, no power windows. Fast and light, just the way I like it. (Sad to say, it's sold. But at least it remains with us on this board.)
