  Q: What are the steps involved in replacing brake pads and ensuring proper brake function on Honda Passport?

  A: Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands while applying the parking brake, then remove the wheels. Remove about two-thirds of the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir and discard it; as the pistons are pushed in for clearance to allow the pads to be removed, the fluid will be forced back into the reservoir. Position a drain pan under the brake assembly and clean the caliper and surrounding area with brake system cleaner. Use a C-clamp to push the piston back into the bore to provide room for the new brake pads, ensuring the fluid in the master cylinder does not overflow, siphoning off some if necessary. Work on one brake assembly at a time, inspecting the caliper for leaks and ruptures in the piston boot, overhauling or replacing it as necessary, and carefully inspecting the Brake Disc for any need for machining. Clean and check the caliper mounting bolts for corrosion and damage, replacing them if significantly corroded or damaged, and tighten them to the specified torque. Install the brake pads on the opposite wheel, then reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle, tightening the lug nuts to the specified torque. Add brake fluid to the reservoir until full, pump the brakes several times to seat the pads against the disc, and check the fluid level again. Before driving in traffic, check the operation of the brakes and avoid heavy applications until the pads have been lightly seated several times. The rear brake pad procedure is virtually identical to the front. Firmly depress the brake pedal a few times to bring the pads into contact with the disc, checking the fluid level in the master cylinder and topping it up if necessary, then road test the vehicle carefully before placing it into normal use.
