its only the 4 bolts right holding it on the the arm?

 

o and i did search but cant find anything. but am i right. removing the rotor is just 4 screws. HELP

 

search the forum for changing the rotors, you will find DIY writeups etc, I've seen several.

 

check the faqs theres a tutorial

 

Sorry to pop your bubble; but that is a trapped rotor, the wheel bearing hub has to come out to get the rotor free.

 

4 bolts holding the rotor to the hub, one nut holding in the axle, 3 nuts holding the knuckle to the car (upper/lower ball joints and tie rod), once you remove the knuckle so you can get the axle out, 4 more bolts holding the hub to the knuckle. Had to replace a bearing on one of those last weekend.

 

That things a bit#$. I tried...but couldn't free the hub. I was abe to get the bolts offf. There's a good tutorial someone has out. I had a quote from a local shop that qoted me about $50 to change the rotor (with the rotors provided). I might go that route.

 

dude! ive tried and failed. i looked at the tutorial and looks like i got to barrow my friends tools at his shop. ****! much longer time then i realized. ****!

 

Save yourself the headache and time.. Just take it to the pro's...

 

haha i am the pro! JP. seriosuly i think im going to spend that 50$ to let them do the headach for me.

 

you don't need to take the whole knuckle off the car, just remove the lower balljoint so you can swing the knuckle out and remove the axle from the hub, that'll give you the room to take the four bolts on the back out. Those four bolt are holding the bearing by the way.

Once those four bolts are removed, the hub/rotor/bearing assembly should come away from the knuckle. If not, some hammering should loosen it. If it's really bad like mine were though, you'll need to either take the car in for service or just remove the knuckles and take those to a machine shop and have the press everything apart and back together. Cost will probably be around 25 a side if you take the knuckles off and have a machine shop do the press work.

The job is just over complicated by Honda, but it's not impossible to do at home.
