Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (Wont be beat)
Why are you doing the rear? To match up the number of lugs? Do I smell 5th gen Prelude wheels in your future?

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (jweller)
UPDATE:
I went to Autozone and rented a two-jaw puller in order to follow the shop manual instructions.
When I got the lower control arm disconnected and the axle out of the spline hole, the damn assembly still wouldn't come off after I took off the four 10mm bolts!! 
I hit that sumbish hard with a hammer and it still wouldn't budge! So...I put it all back together and tonight I am going to try the Slide Hammer method.
I know, I know..I should have done the slide hammer thing last night, but for some stupid reason I decided to follow the instructions in my shop manual. I'll never doubt you guys again!

While I was taking off the wheel, one of the lug stud's sheared off (It had been cross-threaded by the idiot that put her (my sister)new tires on a few months ago
)...so, #1, I can't put the wheel back on and drive it safely and #2, she let the pads go for so long that the pad had worn down to the backplate...destroying the rotor.So, as you see...I am up to my eyeballs in this chit
Got no choice but to march on like a good little soldier!
Onward and Upward.................

I've driven my car to a shop on two lugs before. Only a mile and half at 5 mph stopping every 200 hundred to check it.... But it held tight and got me there.

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (greensleeper)
Not that you would want to but the Accord's wheels are hubcentric so the lugs only hold the wheel. You could roll on three nuts if you had to in a pinch.

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (GSR-REX)
When I changed my rotors, I was able to get one out by whacking it from behind with a sledgehammer. That turned out to be too much af a pain and a dumb idea anyway, so for the other side I just took out the whole knuckle and had the rotor pressed off at a shop. Much easier that way.

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (SOHCArchangel)
I hope somebody's out there.
I can't get that $#@!#$%^% hub off! I have slammed on that thing for 45mins and I don't even think it has budged one bit!! My arms are like jello right now because I have been going at it nonstop.
What I am doing wrong?? It can't be this hard to change rotors!
I have the slide hammer set up on the hub, the hub is disconnected from the rotor, and the the axle nut is off. Is there a bolt somewhere that I'm missing? It won't budge!
Please help...Thanks!

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (Chiovnidca)
Can anybody send me a picture of where I should be looking to see if I making progress. When I look arround the spline hole, I'm not sure which is hub and which is bearing.
Any helpful pics would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (SOHCArchangel)
using a slide hammer is the HARD way of doing this IMO. ive changed the rotors god know how many times since i bought this car somewhere in the mid 90's
just take the whole f'ing hub/bearing out of the knuckle next time and use a lead pipe/3lb sledge. dont waste your time dicking with a slide hammer.

Re: 91 Accord....Rotor question?? (GSR-REX)
well for the people like me who are in for the "long haul" on the car then... take my advice.
dont do the slide hammer... sometime they come right off but useually they do NOT.
