So i offered to do rotors and pads all the way around on my grandpas 2000 Accord. It has about 160k miles on it and it's still chuggin. Is there anything i should watch out while doing this job? I heard the screws have to be replaced with the rotors, do they come with the new set of rotors?

Any tips would be helpful to help me with my first honda job !

 

The wheel/axle nuts attaching the rotor to the car take 10 billion foot pounds to remove. A good heavy duty cheaterbar setup will make your life easier. Also note you can get access to the wheel bolt without removing the tire; there's a reason for that. You're supposed to loosen the wheel bolt with the tire on.

Whenever it comes time to do rotors, best practice is to replace:

Rotors+Wheel bolts; take the rotors to a machine shop and pay them $20 to press the bolts in. You can also use the washers + Bolt trick.
Calipers+Caliper bolts.
Pad; get new dealership ceramic pads; they will last forever.
Brake Hoses & Washers

Flush the brake system (easy to do; after you replace the ends you work farthest away from resivour to closest to resivour and bleed until the fluid looks brand new).

 

So what exactly are the wheel bolts? Any pictures or write-ups. I do not want to get stuck on this job. Would it be easier to take it and get it done?

 

with the 6th gen accords the rotors are over the hub so all you have to do is undo the bolts holding the rotors to the hub, once that is done the rotor should just pop right off. 5th gens need have the rotors pressed out.

 

there fixed it for ya

Also I believe that the 6th gen cars did away with the retainer screws of the 4th gen v6 rotors

 

so nothing really special? is this a job i can do in my driveway like a regular brake job? btw you are saying they are NON-hubbed correct?

 

yes you can do it in your drive way

easy

1. jack up car
2. remove tire
3. press in caliper (screw in if rear you will have to do this after you rotate the caliper out)
4. remove top guide pin
5. rotate caliper forward (some rear calipers rotate back)
6. remove pads
7. install new pads
8. remove rotor resurface or replace
9. install rotor
10. rotate caliper back into position
11. lube upper guide pin with high temp grease and reinstall
12. remove lower guide pin and lube and reinstall
13. replace tire and lug nuts

repeat for all other wheels

drive car and seat brakes by getting to 20 and slowly apply brakes to stop repeat 3 more times.

 

so regular brake job? no rotor screws or wheel bolts?
