the hub does not need to come off to take the rotor off. it is just those two screws holding the rotor on. iirc

There's no pounding? That's the first one listed.

MuffinMan,

The link you provided here (and in the FAQ) states that this job includes all Accords from 90-97. I have a '92 and looked up front rotor instructions on AutoZone's website, and they seem to be much less involved than what is described in the DIY.

Here's the link to AutoZone's instructions -&gt; http://www.autozone.com/addVeh...5fbe3

Why is there such a discrepancy between what is listed in the DIY and on AutoZone's website?

Fig. 4: Remove the 4 bolts retaining the hub unit to the steering knuckle and remove the hub unit/rotor assembly

Many times this assy is rusted in place and requires a bit of extra help to get it out.

If you do not have the two screws in the outboard side of the rotor then you have pressed on rotors, or actually called Trapped Rotors and they are pressed on.

Just looked at their site, it is VERY far off, that is a ROH setup they have (just remove 2 screws basically and it's off) NOT the HOR.

I also out of curiosity looked at how to remove the steering wheel/dash on their site and it isn't detailed whatsoever. I didn't write the tutorial myself but can tell you that it is a lot more involved than just taking off the two screws as in the AutoZone tutorial. Their's almost looks like a generic rotor replacement.
