Ya, i couldn't find it either in the FAQ, etc.
But I'm going to try to get this done, and see how it works out.

Thanks everyone.

Hey Booner, quick question for ya.

What's the point in loosening the 4-14mm bolts on front of the router 180 degrees, if the unit comes off as a whole and you can take em' off then ?

 

oh , & was it hard to get the bearing and rotor unit back in? went in all the way with some force ? ( as it was pressed in ) ?

 

I was actually wondering the same thing, i dunno, but i did it anyways and everything worked out, maybe wedley will chime in on that one.



I didn't have too much of a problem putting it back in, as long as you actually get it in so all the star-shaped bolts will thread. Then just tighten them real tight.

 

My guess is just to break them loose while still attached to the car, since they may be hard to loosen. By the way, I hadn't read that link when I replace my rotors, but a Honda tech gave me the exact same advice regarding using longer bolts to pound out the bearing and rotor. It worked like a charm without damaging anything.

 

dammit... I was all set to get this done today (sunday) and forgot to buy those bolts grrrrrrrrr

 

because if the whole hub assembly is out, you cant break the 4-14mm bolts loose while it is on the ground with a socket or breaker bar....unless of course you have a vice to hold the rotor.

but i just used an impact wrench to break em loose.
