Iam gonna be doing a front brake job on a 97 Accord 4dr 2.2 does anyone have tips or a write up on how to do the front rotors

 

Better make sure you have access to a press as the front rotors are pressed onto the hubs.

 

They are pressed=cant get it off with regular tools($$)

 

Am I the only person on this planet that can get the front brake rotors off without a press or slide hammer?

It's still a pain in the ***, but if you remove the knuckle, then take out the 4 bolts holding the assembled bearing/hub in, then pop the bearing out of the knuckle (may require some coaxing with a hammer, sometimes they just fall out), then remove the 4 bolts holding the rotor on, turn the rotor 45 degrees, and it pulls off right over the bearing, with room to spare.

Haven't there been 2 or 3 threads about this is the past few days?
Well IMO you should take your knuckles to a shop unless you want to take the chance of damaging your $70 bearing or if you plan on replacing them anyways. I replaced mine about a month ago and I tried to push the hub out from the back and my bearing came apart. I took it to a shop and they took the old ones off and put the new rotors on for like $30. Save yourself some agrivation

 

i did mine with out a press just a slide hammer thats all pain in the *** more then anything but hey it works

 

thanks for the replies guys i have the knuckles off i guess iam goin to the machine shop mon
