Some people have rotors "pressed on" some dont... can someone explain to be what is actually pressed on? Is it a machine that sqeezes a parts together and somehow stick? I know how to fix cars but can never understand how they do it.

basically the clearance bewteen the two parts are very tight, so it takes a hydro press to squeeze them together, and the stay together from the tight fit.

but the 5th gen rotors aren't really pressed on, its just that they are a hub over rotor design, and the hub is bolted on from the back, so its a pain in the *** to get the rotor out.

Most other yr accords are rotor over hub so you just pop off the rotor and ur set.

 

yeah lots of things on the 5th gen are a pain in the *** to work with. My prelude and I have a love hate relationship.

 

oh ****, i didnt realize i was in the lude forum, haha, i was refering to 5th gen accords with the "pressed on" rotors, the 5th gen ludes dont have them.

 

yipe 5gen prelude are a pain in the ***...took me and my lil brother about 6 hours of back breaking to install the springs (type SH) but it's not as bad as my toyota mr2 turbo...it's tight fit/hard to reach good for bloody knuckles everytime....
