hello again, after having a tl, cl and rl, we have an integra to drive instead of the 4runner which is sitting in the garage.

we had a 95 accord that need to have the rotors pressed on and i am concerned about the brakes in this car. I know it is a stupid question, but before i dig into each corner and spend time under there, i need to know.

thanks

No, they are not pressed on. Held in by two screws only.

Ur gonna need to buy an impact screw taker outer do hickey... Try auto Zone, it will last a use or two. Thats all u need

Those 2 screws are mainly for the initial assembly at the plant. You can use an impact driver to get them out (or douse them with PB or WD40 + screw driver), but don't even bother putting them back in. Your wheel and lugs hold the rotor in place, not those screws.

An impact screwdriver is not necessary. A fat cross tip works just fine. Not a narrow one, but one that is big enough to fill the volume of the screw. Most screw tips sets will have one. I've worked on several honda's/acura's brakes and this is what I have always done.

impact driver works for me.

Oh yeah, of course...but a common misconception is that you have to fish out an impact screwdriver to get those screws off, when in actuality a fat cross tip will do the trick with the twist of a wrist & a push.

thanks, i was worried that i was going to need to take it to a shop to change them

yeah only certain accords have trapped rotors that require excessive labor.

Personally, I wouldn't risk stripping those pesky impact screws when an impact driver can be rented for a few dollars.

Its a handy tool if you work on cars anyway, I bought mine at sears for 30$. It saved my life several times, before I had air tools.
