To remove the rotor do we have to push out the rotors like the older accords? just wondering.. (searched) thx

 

No, just remove the caliper/caliper bracket, pats, the 2 screws on the disk and pull it out. If it's stuck, bang it out with a hammer.

It's not the same dummy concept as the 4th/ 5th gen

 

I also need to take my rotors off but when i took off the wheel and inspected the rotor, there are no retaining screws whatsoever. Not even any holes for them. There are just 2 small holes on each side of the rotor. They do not go all the way through either. How do I get this rotor off? I really need help ASAP!!

 

Check oout the Accord FAQ with the 6th gen front rotor replacement. Something like that.

Well there should be 2 screws, + types heads. They are an A** to take out. But with an assistance of an impact driver, it comes of rather easily.

This cannot be the original rotors. Prob some guy replaced it and forgot to line up the holes with the threads on the hub or the rotors didn't have holes already drilled.

You need to take out the caliper support bracket out in order to remove the rotor. I had trouble of the rotor being stuck to the hub. 1. You can beat it with a hammer from inside out. or 2 you can get a bolt and thread it onto the 2 holes on the rotor. Which acts like a seperator. The bolt size is the same size as the exhaust header bolts.(a reference)

 

Thanks for the quick reply. The holes it does have a are super small and I'm not sure if they are even the right holes for separating the rotor like I've seen in the Haynes Manual. So do you think the rotors are even screwed on and I can just beat them with a hammer to get them to come off? I guess it would be worth a try.

They have to be screwed on somehow right? They couldnt just be put on the hub and held on by the lugnuts and brake pads/caliper right? I will take off the caliper and try to "beat" out the rotor. Thanks for the help thus far. It is GREATLY appreciated.

 

lol foh sho.

Ummmm the screws are tapered so they fit into the tapered hole on the rotor. So if you don't see anything, go at it! But i would do the "Haynes method" the hole on the rotor of course has a thread to give you that pushing effect. Try to do this method first.

you might want to clean off the rust around the center of the rotor, where the wheel bearing is usually located. Often called the wheel bearing cap/cover. This rust prevented me also from taking off the rotor.

The brake will function fine without the screws or being held down. My dad's Mitsu. Galant is like that, the force of the lug nuts keeps it down. Remember to remove the caliper bracket. Good luck.

 

sounds good, changing brakes to,morrow
