Good day all. I just got these rotors in the mail for my wagon and I found they had different markings on them.

Check it out, they look and feel the same.



One of them has the correct part number, 25430,




But the other one has another part number stamped on it,






The boxes they came it had the right part number, but the one with the wierd number didn't come wrapped in plastic and it came with some Brembo card of authenticity. I did contact the merchant about it but he has yet to make a resolution. I'm sure someone on here will know what happened here.

 

Do I ask too many questions?

 

"hey guys, if my rotors look completely different, is it possible they are in fact still the same ? "

 

Hey guys I don't read OP's posts before I comment on em...

What application are they for?

Edit: 1997 Acura CL 3.0

You're good. The second, longer, part number is the newer number as listed in Brembo's online catalog.

First, shorter, number has been superceeded but still shows as correct on the tire rack website.

 

I found out the answer from the merchant, they are the same parts just have different markings on them. Sorry to bother you guys.

I will be trying out Hawk HPS brake pads with these. Was that a bad or a good choice of pads?

 

I have them on mine, prepare to clean your rims more n more than you ever have.

 

Thanks. I just received these wheel bearings but they don't seem to fit my wagon rotor. Are the wagon wheel bearings and coupe/sedan bearings different sizes?

 

The bearings themselves are different. The wagon knuckle has a larger opening. The rotors are different in overall diameter but I don't know about the bolt pattern. The wagon and the V6 used 282mm rotors and the I4 used 260mm. Also the wagon and V6 were 25mm thick instead of 23mm

 

The bearings are different? That was not what I was told by the person who sold me them. I just called them about the fitment and they said that they were for a wagon. So will these work without a problem or do I need to look for a different set?

I searched online and it seemed nobody sells front WAGON wheel bearings for the accord.

 

Not sure if well played, or you forgot the hub...

 

Yeah I know they don't go on the rotors, just found that out.
but I looked on Honda's website and the part number with the coupe/sedan wheel bearing is the exacty same as the wagon, so it il work.


What would be the best way to go about replacing the front rotors and wheel bearings? Take the knuckle off and take it to a shop? I don't have the tools to do it myself I don't think.
This guide is pretty in depth though:

I would not take the whole knuckle, the shop will charge you more for that.

Step 1. Buy a 3-5lb single jack(mini sledge, not a rubber mallet)
Step 2. Take the knuckle off the car, and as shown in that thread remove the hub/bearing assembly. If the bearing is stuck to the hub, depending on how rusty it is, you may be able to thwack it off with a single jack. Or buy four 10mm, 1.25, 100mmlong bolts, screw them into where the four bearing bolts are, and with the single jack whack each bolt in a criss cross pattern until the bearing pops out. You will have to support the knuckle so that the hub/disc/bearing assembly has room to move.

EDIT:If you have the knuckle off, might as well replace the lower BJ too. If you don't have the patience for that, then you may as well bring the whole knuckle to a shop and have them replace the BJ and bearings for you.

EDIT II:When you pull the caliper off, pull of the caliper cage at the same time, don't unbolt the caliper from the cage, unbolt the caliper cage from the upright. If you removed all the bolts that hold the hose to the coilover there is enough line to rest the caliper on the ground without the need to support it, nor will it pull on the hose.

 

Ok, you have a 91 and I was thinking Gen 5. Sorry

 

Oh my god XD You never had Lego's as a kid did you?

 

lmao well put

 

Sure I did.

Anyways, I just got the Hawk pads in and I took some pics. Taken with my new vado hd camera and a wide angle lens. Some eye candy for ya,

Question is, is this normal for the rotors to be bigger than the pad surface? I am 99% sure I have the right pads and rotors but I don't know if this is right,





Hawk box,

 

How about if you check how they fit in the calipers instead of comparing them to your rotors first?

 

Knowing his habits, he'll probably ask what color they should be, how to install them, what lubricants to use on them, if his ball itch, and if his microwave oven is on.

 

To the Chase: If the pads fit the caliper/caliper brackets go for it. Enjoy the dust :D

 

The box says low dust, maybe these are different than the ones you had. I don't have alloys on right now anyways so it won't matter.

Will they wear down rotors faster though?

 

Well my ***** do itch, and I did clean my microwave oven recently.

 

Question is, how do you drive?

 

Not like a maniac but I can on rare occasion. I try to save gas most of the time and I have an oil leak. This is OT but I think its coming from the oil sender, however I just got that replaced with a Beck Arnley one because I thought it was leaking. My oil light does not come on. Is it possible that it is leaking again? It was tightened down well and I used black rtv. Is it possible my block is cracked there? Oil finds its way onto the plug for the sender and onto the filter then down to the downpipe. Its losing about 1/2 a quart every 200 miles. I thought it was my VC gasket but it doesn't appear to be leaking from there. I am stumped.

 

I am fairly certain the pads fit its the rotors that look different, even though they are 282mm and have the same interchange part number in the Honda catalog. But get this, the seller I got them from said they wouldn't fit.

These are what I got:

Where does it say it won't fit?

Pads fit the calipers right?
If there's no clearance issues and the pad doesn't hit the bell or fall off the rotor go for it and just bloody drive. Stop thinking too much.
