Default how do you remove the brake rotors?

How do I remove my front brake rotors on my 96 Accord?

I removed the 4 14mm bolts that are visible after the wheel is removed but other than that I haven't the slightest clue on how to remove them.

Can someone please tell me how this is supposed to come off?

thanks

the next step is to remove the 4 bolts holding the wheel assymbly on the back of the knuckle, use some old bolts to put in half way, and pound out the wheel hub, most car setups are rotor over hub, where you would of just removed the rotor, accords are hub over rotor so you need to remove the whole wheel hub to get the rotor off, there is a conversion using acura tl parts i believe but it is very expensive, there are may ways to get it off but i find this the easiest, dont use the bolts that you have on the hub to pound the hub off because you will most likely end up damaging them
ill post a link in a second to a step by step

this is the proper way, takes way too long and is very difficult

this is the easy fast way but you can damage the wheel bearing

if you dont want to rent an axle puller pounding the bolts from behind will get the job done too, and dont worry about this being for 90-93 the brakes and suspension are the same for 90-97
