Rodeo: the pads are a really a piece of cake. I simply took the caliper off to get the pad that my wife had turned into a shard of thin metal out. It was one more bolt so no big deal. I zip tied the caliper up so it was out of the way to get at the rotor. (old M caliper trick I learned when doing my '68s brakes). I have successfully stripped the snot out of the screws holding the rotor however and will be waiting outside sears tomorrow AM to buy screw extractors. Hope it works. Again, it's kind of an idiot proof pad replacement issue and I would advise you change pads NOW. I can email you link to hondapilot.org that shows how to do it. I am pissed that there "apparently" was no chirp on these pads and now I am stuck with this new melted metal mess that the wife created. I used to drive my wife's cars at least once a week just to mkae sure it was operating properly (ie: 4 wheels, all doors still there, no missing quarter panels,etc) but I just got lazy. I blame myself.
