I'm in the process of doing mine right now. It's not an easy job. As far as where I stand on how hard it is to do, I'd say an 8.

Here's a good how-to on replacing rotors that will apply to 1990-97 Accords.

Good luck.

It also depends on where you live. Say if rust is common it will most likely be a tougher job. That HUB is a PITA when it doesn't want to budge out.

the hubs are pressed in, so they need to be pressed out

Are you kidding me? I did all of my brakes in an hour

For the front rotors u need a impact gun with a 36mm Socket, take off the big bolt right in the middle of the rotor, you need a slide hammer or other type of hub puller

attach the puller to where the lug nuts would go and start tightning it ( if its the slide hammer) start using the slide hammer, might take a while but ittl come off
