Default front rotor removal.

Hey guys,

I've removed rotors a hundred times before, but I havn't done it on my new 92 CX yet. Anyhow, need new ones, going to be ordering some brembo replacements tonight - anyhow, just a quick question: are they rotor-over-hub, or are they pressed on like the Accords are? I'm hoping rotor-over-hub, I hate pressed on rotors.

Talking about the front ones (obviously).

- Nathan

Might need an impact driver. I got my manual one at Sears for like $20.

or you can just tap one good time on the screw with a rubber mallet. that should help break it free.

Using even a cheap impact screwdriver is far easier than drilling them out IMO. As a heads up, you can get one from Harbor Freight Tools for pretty cheap.

Could you please explain wut you mean by pressed on. I own a 94 ACCORD EX Coupe. I need to replace the rotors and want to know how tough of a job I have ahead of me. Any special tools I need. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Take Care
