Question 4th gen brake job ...

Well, I'm finally going to change the front brakes on my 4th gen ... I'm going with Brembo blanks and OEM pads. Is there anything else that I need to purchase (aside from anti-squeal)? This is my first time working on a Honda and I am not too sure what to expect. Thanks.

As long as the caliper slider bolts are ok and the bushings I would say you're all set.

werd... inspect dust covers on the caliper slide bolts and check caliper slide bolts for any abnormal wear. Also clean the brass clip thingies and apply anti-seize to them.

What signs of wear am I looking for with respect to the caliper slide bolts? What is the best lubricant to use on them? BTW, how would I go about flush-n-filling the brake fluid if the car is NON-DISK in the rear?

pitting, chipping or rust... I use synthetic grease for the sliders

empty master cyl reservoir using a turkey baster, fill with fresh fluid, then bleed the brakes as per your manual.

What I wanted to know what (if anything) is the procedure for flushing out the old fluid from the rear brake lines in a car equipped with DRUM BRAKES in the rear? Thanks.

same as calipers... on the back of the drum (in the wheel cylinder) there is a bleeder nipple just like a caliper. Just watch the order in which you bleed it in, cuz it's got a specific order.
