Removing rotors for turning.
Is it just plain and simple how to remove the rotors? The online available manual for the cr didt say how.
Is it nescessary to turn the rotors when doing new pads, the rotors are original crx 91 Si ones with about 140 thousand miles on them.

you sure the rotors have 140k on them? must have had your granny drive them because i havent heard about rotors getting that much milage. they should atleast get resufaced with a new pad change and replaced every third pad change.

Yes it is plain and simple. Take off a 2 bolts on the back of the caliper take off the 2 philip head screws and they come right off.

Also yes you should have your rotors turned when you change your pads if there is a ridge present (the ridge will be along the outside of the rotor where the pads dont contact it) Oh and I highly highly doubt that you have the original rotors on your car. As for his post above about replacing them every 3rd or whatever pad change that isnt true as long as your rotors are within specs they will be just fine. If your not looking for like upgraded rotors or anything you can go to like Autozone and pick up a pair for like $30 bucks or so and for that price its much easier to just pick up a set of new ones rather than messing around with getting them cut plus if you get new ones you can put them on right away. And if you do get new ones and your old ones are still within specs you can have them cut and have an extra pair lying around as well and you could just rotate them back and forth when you do the pad changes. And get the pair thats not in use turned for the next time.
