Default Can't get hub off

I have a 94 EX, I've taken off the wheel, taken off the caliper and the caliper mount, I've also taken off the axle nut in the middle, the big brass colored 36mm son of a bitch. I can't get the hub off, am I missing a step?

you need to remove the 4 bolts on the back side ,,,,take cotter pin out from lower ball joint, remove 17mm nut, separate lower control arm, take axle out of the hub, now if you look on the back side therer are 4 bolts ..10mm 12 point make sure to use a 12 point socket, remove those bolts and rotor/ hub assembly will come out .. if u are replacing rotors hit the rotor with the hammer, if you are reusing rotors, you need to find something to put in the hole where the axle goes (MATCO TOOLS ) sells the perfect tool to knock those babies out ,,

just a note, it took me three ******* day to do this, I had to take off the entire steering knuckle, I broke all four of the bolts on the back of the knuckle and two of the bolts that hold the rotor to the hub, and did almost as much damage to the other side of the car as well. I had to take it all off, press out the bearing/hub/rotor assembly with a 50 ton farm press aftering heating it up with a huge *** torch, oh, and since it was labor day weekend it was a bitch to find all the tools I needed to do this. Why are Honda Accord's such a bitch to do a brake job on. I'm converting to Rotor-Over-Hub as soon as ******* possible.

Well I have the same issue ... I can't get my rotor out ! I've hit the **** outta it ! I've used a balljoint popper thinking that if I hit it enough it would seperate .. The thing looks pressed on ???? Do I need to press it out ? And if so, do I need to press it back in ? I don't wanna damage anything under there .. I took out everything already like you guys indicated ...

I'm thinking I should hit the **** out of it more .. but before I do, any ideas ?

I don't think you can just hit it out ! The bearings and everything need to some out !

JadedGamerX ... its only the Accord like that ! i have a civic and Integra ... its not like that at all ....

All 4cyl Accords from 90-97 are like this. I have the same gripe. However, prior to the 90 accords Honda used the same setup as on the civic/integras on the 89down accords. I don't know why they switched to the pressed in stuff....and then to switch back on the 6th gen..
