OK I started doing the brakes on my ex(no rear disc) . I ran into a problem with the front rotors . After I finially managed to break loose the philips screws in the hubs (whos Idea was it to put those there?) I was still unable to remove the rotors . I have never done brake work on a honda before so I am kinda learning as I go . Is there any special tool I need to remove the rotors or is there a step I am missing ? ? ? ? ? ?

 

did you take off the caliper?

 

yeah I took off the caliper and everything . even the philips head screws were out and the rotor still didnt budge .

 

tap it with a rubber mallet

 

if the caliper is completely off and the two screws are off u should be able to yank of the rotor...i had no problem on my 99 ex when i did my brake job

 

hit it with your palm of your hand or use a mallet.

 

Thanks I wasn't sure if I needed a something else to remove the rotor . Also the philips head screws . they are taking a beating from the impact tool I am using . Do I go to honda to get the replacements or is there another place I can go to get them . I tried Pep Boys and Napa but they just looked at me like "HUH"

 

u should be able to get them at Pepboys or Autozone OR Midas.

Oh, and if your screws took a beaten u should replace them.

 

maybe in the beutiful climate of california, but it aint coming off that easy on this side of the ocean
