I own a '91 Accord and recently replaced my two front rotors. Not sure if yours is similar to mine but I'll give you the step by step process anyway. Remove the caliper and situate it to the side, out of your way, then remove the large center retaining hub nut. You'll need the following tool...Axle Puller w/slide Hammer (pics attached below) to remove the rotor. Having this tool will make your task easier, rent one if you don't own one. Alligned and attached the Axle Puller to three of your wheel studs, using the lug nuts to secure it firmly in place. Make sure they are firmly in place,without any play, otherwise you'll end up breaking a wheel stud or two in the process. When secured, pull the hammer back several times to loosen the grip of the rotor from the bearing housing, until the rotor/hub assembly comes off. Then you have the rotor/ hub assembly as you want it (off the car) on the pics you posted. Just follow the instructions on how to remove the four screws to seperate the rotor from the hub bearing assembly. Reverse to install. Good Luck! :thumbup: :joshers:
OK.....thanx for that useful information. couple of questions though. This tool, where can i rent one? And is it ALWAYS called a "Axle puller w/ slide hammer"?
Second, i am guessing that rotor is pressed on there so thats why u need this tool. I see how this tool will pull, but how do u PUSH the rotor back on? Does tightening the hub nut do this for u?
thanx for all this, gonna save me some $$
