On your Accord (1990-1997) the bearing is pressed to the hub. The rotor is secured to the hub by way of 4 14mm head size bolts.
The rotor however can not be removed without removal of the bearing/hub assembly.
To remove the rotors you need to remove the caliper, caliper bracket, 36mm cv axles center nut, seperate the lower ball joint, the turn the assembly towards the rear of the car.
Using a 12 sided 10mm socket remove the four bolts secureing the bearing to the spindle.
Sometimes the bearing becomes rusted to the spindle. What I do is back the 12 sided 10mm out slightly and evenly and then using a center punch hit them in sequence till the bearing works it's way out of the spindle.
Then off the car you can remove the rotor from the bearing/hub assembly by removing the 4 14mm's.
If you want to replace your bearings you must take them to a machine shop becuase you need a hydrolic press to seperate and press the bearings to the hubs.
Hope this helped email me should you have any other questions.
so...if i understand u correctly. You NEED to take off that 36mm hub nut...AND those 4 14mm bolts? I saw in the haynes manual the entire rotor with that round plate setting on a table. So obviously he got that off without removing that plate.
I am trying to get my rotors turned and not spend over $100. If u can help me, i'd be soooo appreciative! thanks!
