I have an understanding of what needs to be done for the conversion, but one thing I cannot visualize is that bolts and screws that I will need.

Here is an exploded diagram of an accord's front brakes.



Here is an exploded diagram of the acura CL's front brakes



To keep things simple I will not talk about brake pads. I plan on ordering part number 4 from the accord diagram and parts 25 and 26 from the acura CL diagram.

Could someone tell me what bolts I need. Looking at the Acura CL diagram bolt 27 attaches the hub(25) to the bearing (4.) What do I use to attach the rotor (26)? The holes in the rotor look small like they might take allen bolts or screws. Even if I order all the bolts listed it looks like none will fit in the rotor. I thought about ordering screws that are used to attach the rear disc. They are listed as "screw-flat (6x14).

Do I still need bolt 23 to attach the hub to the steering knuckle or will bolt 27 take care of that? I want to order new bolts in case the old hardware becomes damaged.

 

Here's a list of what you need

94-97 Accord wheel bearings
98-99 CL 2.3 hubs (it comes with studs already)
98-99 CL 2.3 rotors of your choice
94-97 Accord brake pads

You will not need any new bolts, you can just re-use all of your accord bolts.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Since mine is a V6, I need the 3.0 parts correct? Thanks for your help accord hybrid. I saw your previous post on teh subject in 2003 but still had a few questions and didn't want to revive such an old thread.

 

yes you need the the rotors and hub off a 98-99 CL 3.0 V6 bearings for your year accord as your also 4 screws to hold the rotors to the hub.

 

Why the need for this conversion??

 

So it's a helluva lot easier to change your rotors in the future.

 

really???
Once you do the conversion,.. they wont be pressed in anymore??

 

Yep, they'll be rotor-over-hub, so changing the rotors is a simple as removing the caliper and a couple screws.

Luckily they changed this with the 6th gens so I don't have to deal with it.

 

Has anyone actually done the brake conversion on the 5th gen V6. I have been checking at accordinglydone.com and it seems to be uncharted territory. If i could go without my car for a decent period of time I would be a guinea pig, but I don't think that would be possible.
