While it is possible to replace brake pads at home, it requires some basic mechanical knowledge and tools such as a jack, wrench, and brake caliper tool. If Honda City owners are comfortable working on their car and have the right equipment, they can replace the pads themselves. However, safety is crucial, and improper installation can lead to brake issues o r accidents.

If unsure, it’s advisable to take the vehicle to a professional mechanic for brake pad replacement. Safety precautions include ensuring the car is securely lifted, using the correct torque when reassembling components, and making sure the new pads are properly aligned with the caliper.
