they're thinkin of a rotor-over-hub design... the 94 accord has a hub-over-rotor design. For this you need to do quite a bit more to get the rotors off. Remove the ABS wire if your car has ABS, unplug it in the engine bay and pop the grommet out of the fender well. Remove the axle nut, but leave the rotor bolts in. Remove the tie rod end from the steering knuckle assembly. Remove the Caliper and Caliper bracket. Remove the upper ball joint and lower ball joint. The whole steering knuckle can come off the car now. Lay it up-side-down and you'll see 4 funky lookin bolts that need to come out, you can use a standard socket in most cases, or you can go out and purchase the socket to match. With the 4 bolts out you can carefully (with a block of wood) pound the wheel bearing/hub assembly out of the knuckle from the inside-out. Once the bearing assembly is free, you'll see that you can then unbolt the rotor and put your new ones on. Everything is the reverse for the instalation. Be sure to re-install all nuts and cotter pins.

It does take a while, so give your self the whole day to change the front rotors.
