hey i got a 88 civic Si ef3 with zc dohc motor
and whats the process of removing the discs at the front to put new ones on??? they seem pressed on????
thanks

 

there [should be] 2-4 bolts/screws if i remember correctly holding the rotor down. remove the caliper, 2-4 bolts also[not needed to put back on the rotor], and pull the rotor out. i would also gets some stainless steel lines and a nice pad, like axxis ultimates.

someone correct me if this info is Not correct.

 

You are correct. Once you remove the caliper, you should see 2 small screws (sometimes these get removed and left off, they arent needed ) in the rotor face where the axle comes through. You may need a special impact driver to remove these 'cause they sieze in the rotor a LOT of times.

Once you get those screws off, the rotor may need a little light tapping from a rubber mallet, but it should just pop right off easily.

 

sweet thanks guys
i've got brembo discs and metallic pads

 

Awesome man, hope they work out for you.

yep! metallic pads are good, most of them anyway for daily driving.

 

Use an impact screwdriver.
