I thought the 90-93 front rotors were the same as the 94-97 front rotors which are hub-over-rotor?
Edit: oops, glad no one caught that.

Not trying to sound rude but try running a search. This has been covered before and you'll find more info in a shorter amount of time than waiting for people to reply.

mm they are that is the second guy that talks about the 2 screws on a rotor over hub system ... there are 4 14mm bolts no 2 screws if it is frt rotors 90-97 axccords

they are pressed, the rear discs if you have them are 2 screws/rotor over hub, you can do a front hub swap with an acura cl i believe it is that will convert it to rotor over hub but is a lot of work if change your rotors on a normal schedule and not twice a year...

Correct, the rear rotors are rotor-over-hub. And yes, there are a couple write-ups on converting the front rotors from hub-over-rotor to rotor-over-hub using Accord bearings, CL hubs and rotors. There are two different caliper set-ups you can use as well with conversion. One is to use the stock calipers with 2.3 CL hubs and 2.3 CL rotors and the other is to use Legend dual piston caliper/ 95-02 AV6 caliper/ 93+ Prelude VTEC caliper/ 98+ ITR caliper with 2.3 CL hubs and 3.0 CL rotors.
I think even the simple rotor-over-hub conversion is worth it. I was planning on doing this the next brake change but the Accord was totalled before that time came around.

Re: (icet)
ok, your still confused?
Your stock set-up is hub-over-rotor in the front. You don't need a press all the time. If all goes as planned, a press is not needed.
If you want to replace the rotors, heres a quick step by step.
With the car on the ground, loosen the axle nut.
Lift and support the car.
Remove the tire.
Remove the axle nut.
Have someone hold the brakes and loosen the four bolts holding the rotor to the hub.
Remove the caliper and zip tie it out of the way.
Remove the caliper bracket.
Remove the cotter pin from the lower ball joint castle nut.
Remove the castle nut.
Hit the lower control arm where the ball joint goes into it. This will pop it free.
Remove the axle from the hub.
Remove the four bolts holding the bearing onto the hub.
If the hub/rotor/bearing assembly doesn't drop away from the knuckle try hitting the rotor with a hammer to try freeing it.
If this doesn't work, I would recommend removing the knuckle from the car and take it to a machine shop and have them press everything apart and put everything back together.
If it drops away, remove the four bolts that hold the rotor to the hub that you loosened earlier.
Then slip the rotor over the bearing.
Then just reassemble everything in reverse order.
Hope this helped.
If I missed something please correct me.

yep, 90-97 Accords have basically the same front brake set-up.

Are you refering to the front or the rear?
If you are refering to the front then the original/previous owner probably converted to 2.3 CL hubs and rotors, lucky you.
