New here! What's involved with replacing the front rotors on an 90 Accord? Do I have to pull the hub assy. or what ? I can only get to work on the car on Sundays and don't want to get into a major crisis! This is my son's first car and so far so good! TIA

Somebody, anybody?

 

yeha I got it done at a garage it was 3.6 hours labour, you have to pull the hub off

 

Thanks, I called around by phone and then went to Canadian Tire and checked there manuals and found out the procedure, it will take some time for sure, if none of the bolts are seized.

 

do u have a slide hammer and an air impact wrench it took me only 2 hours to swap in some brembos

 

But a haynes or chilton manual, they have all the instructions and tools neccasary to do it, mine was a pain in the butt and it took me 16 hours, yet i still didn't do it, haha so im just awaiting on enough cash to get some powerslots

 

just take off the whole assembly remove the pads and caliper. remove the upper and lower ball joint. take off the spindle nut (nut in middle of rotor) its a 36 mm socket. take the complete assembly to a machine shop that has a press. they will charge like 30 bucks to put on the new rotors. i would tell u a way to do it urself but its a pain in the *** and more chances of ****** up ur car. so just pay to have them installed on the assembly.

I agree, save yourself the trouble of trying to get the knuckle, hub, bearing, and rotor seperated. Just be prepared to the possibility of having to replace the bearings. When I took my assembly to the shop and they used a press that did not span the entire bearing assembly and put all the pressure on the on the center where the axle passes thru. As a result, the bearings seperated and I chose to replace them. Here is my whole adventure with some good how-to links if you are in the mood to read: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1427790
