Default How easy are 99 rotors to change?

I think my front rotors are warped and since they are so cheap I might just change them. How hard are they to change on a 99 Accord?

The only problem you might run into are the two holding screws. Sometimes they get stuck on pretty good. A lot of people just drill the heads off and use the rim to hold the rotor on. Keep in mind many cars do that. My new rotors didn't line up with the holes so I left them out. No problems and almost 2 years ago.

no don't drill the screws too much work get an impact screwdriver and phillip bit, hit the screws with tool and hammer makle sure you are going counterclock and they will come off real easy ..if you cannot get hold of impact screwdriver get a small sharp punch hit screw on flat surface to make a little hole. hit the screw counterclock on the hole and it will come of they are not that tight

i agree with the impact, you can be there all day pounding away and it still wont budge. Even if you crack it open after an hour, the heads on the screws are probaly eaten out.
