I need all the info I can get on doing the brakes on a 95' Accord EX. I am in a rusty environment and I have seen the hub be difficult to get apart. I just need a procedure and a list of tools, and any tricks to getting the old stuff apart would be helpful as well. We plan to replace the front rotors and calipers and want to know what were getting ourselves into. thanks

 

"Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake
assemblies.
Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid
breathing brake dust.
1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
car and support on safety stands.
2. Remove the caliper bolt, and pivot the caliper
up out of the way.
4. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of
each brake pad lining.
Brake Pad Thickness:
Sedan, Coupe:
Standard: 12.0 - 13.0 mm (0.47 - 0.51 in)
Wagon:
Standard: 11.2 - 11.5 mm (0.44 - 0.45 in)
Service Limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
NOTE: Check the hoses and pin boots for damage
and deterioration.
3. Remove the pad shims, pad retainers and pads.
NOTE: Measurement does not include pad backing
plate thickness.
5. If the brake pad thickness is less than service limit,
replace the front pads as a set.
6. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves or cracks.
7. Check the brake disc for damage or cracks.
8. Install the pad retainers.

9. Apply Molykote® M77 grease to the inner side of the
pad shims and the back of the pads. Wipe excess
grease off the shim.
10. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly.
• When reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in their original positions to prevent
loss of braking efficiency.
• Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping
ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
NOTE: Install the pad with the wear indicator on
the inside.
11. Push in the piston so that the caliper will fit over the
pads. Make sure that the piston boot is in position
to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
12. Pivot the caliper down into position, then install
caliper bolt (pin A) and tighten it.
CAUTION: Be careful not damage the pin boot
when pivoting the caliper down.

74 N-m (7.5 kgf-m, 54 Ibf-ft)
13. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then road-test.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a
greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications
of the brake pedal will restore the normal
pedal stroke.
14. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line
joints or connections, and retighten if necessary."

If you're gonna be that specific, the list should start out like this:
1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the car and support on safety stands.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts completely and remove them.
3. Remove the wheels.
4. Remove the caliper bolt.....

It would be very difficult to remove the caliper bolt with the wheel still on.
