i got 97 accord lx how easy its to replace the front rotors?

my brake pads are fine now.. is it recommended to change them out when replacing the rotors?

also do the rotors just pop out after removing the 4 bolts and removing the calipers?

 

I think you have to tap the rotor off the axle, may be more difficult than just 4 bolts.

 

can someone confirm this.. before i do something myself and regret it...


thx

 

Isnt the front discs? Anyways I changed mines and it was vary hard to remove. All the accords are hard to take off the front discs till 98 I think. You have to use this special took and pull it out. Alot of shops will charge you alot for labor and I suggest you take it to a shop because if you cant get it out, you will have to call a toetruck.

 

les schwab is charging me $163.90 to just change the front rotors no brakes...

for everything should i just do it there?

 

You have to remove more than those 4 bolts to get the rotor off of the car. May not be easy if you're not mechanically inclined and have access to some tools.

 

the rotors are pressed on so you will need to press them off it's a pain and not for beginners or you might end up with a undriveable car.

 

the rotors are held in by the hub.the hub is pressed on so no its not easy at all take it to a shop.

 

i thought the rotors were held on to the hub by the wheel bearing which has four bolts in it but what do i know not bad to do on a lift with a air hammer

 

thy make a special plate you can hit instead its still a pain in the ass
