I found out another problem with the 95 accord front rotors. I was told by the dealer mechanics that when you change the front rotors you also have to change the bearings. He said that the rotors are not pressed on but it is actually the bearings that are pressed on and that you almost always have to replace and repack the bearings. I have never done anything with bearings. As I understand it I would have to buy some bearing grease and new bearings and smear them with grease and then smear where the bearing go with grease and "pack" the bearings back in and cover them with more grease. Then I am wondering if I have to have a hub puller to get the rotors off then what the hell do I use to press the rotors back on? Things are looking like I am just going to have to suck it up and let them rip me off. I called about twenty other shops around my area and none said they could change the rotors out of my car but one. That guy wanted more than the honda dealer to do it and would not use anyone elses parts but his double and a half priced parts. shit shit shit shit! Sometimes I feel like if I had a duck it would drown and then someone would send me a bill for the burial and then I would get a ticket for illeagal operation of a duck in the water and then some ass would sue me because the duck had defiled their land and on and on.
Really man to save yourself a lot of damn headaches in the future I would recommend that you do the 98 acura CL brake set up so its a rotor over hub and make your like a lot easier here is a parts list that you need.
98 acura cl 2.3 hubs (2 of these)
94-97 Accord bearnings (2 of these)
98-99 2.3 CL rotors of your choice (2 of these)
and a set of brake pads for your year accord
Ask me anyquestions that you have I will be happy to help you along
