i'm a noob on the site.
can someone give me info on how to take off brake rotors on a 93 civic coupe what do i need etc.i need my brake rotors turned.i've usually have a brake shop do it but i'm gonna give it try.

 

-Take wheel off.
-There are 2 bolts that are holding the caliper onto the bracket, they might be 12mm bolts.
-Then take off the caliper. After that you need to take off the bracket, this is held on by 2 14mm bolts(the bolts might be bigger I can't remember).
-Once you have the caliper and bracket off you can see the rotor is almost free, there would/should be 2 phillips screws holding it on, you would need some luck with a regular screwdriver or you would need an impact screwdriver to take those off.
-After that the rotor is ready to come off, you might need to bang it off by hitting the rotor hat(not the shinny part) with a hammer.

Hope this helps.

 

i think there 14's. but yeah. if u need too, take some pictures with the wheel off and i or someone will help u out. u could buy new rotors for fairly cheap. turning them is usually like 15 a piece, new ones can be bought for like 20 bux a piece.
i used a settling torch and burned the crews out of the rotor. there not needed

 

I changed out all 4 rotors and pads today. Took a couple of hours. It was my first time doing it, and it was fun. Impact wrench for the two bolts on each rotor made it easier for sure. Dewalt DW292 1/2" electric impact wrench with a 3/8 adapter, 1/4" socket with the phillips head. Just don't try to put it back on the same way, or you'll make the Grand Canyon out of the screw :doh:

 

Few hours to do a simple brake job?? You newb :fawk:

 

Newbalicious! :fawk: I'd never done it before, so I spent time cleaning shit up down there :hsugh:

Got it done, though!
