1990 Accord EX, Taking off front brake rotor HELP! PICS
I am stuck right here. I took off 3 of the 4 bolts that go into the hub from the inside(4th one is stripped). What else do I need to do to get the hub off so I can remove my brake rotor?
Sorrry for large pics, no time to resize them.

Re: (david90)
Yeah dude...not sure on the 90 to be exact but I'd say that bolt has to go. Vice grips are your friend, as is a good blowtorch!
And damn did you ever wear down those rotors!

If it comes to that see if you can't find a reverse threaded drillbit, that way you loosen the bolt rather than tighten it. Another thing you can do is use a dremel tool at high speed. After that use an easy out. If it plain doesn't work your only options are to get a new hub or use a helicoil.

Just wanted to keep you guys updated, Those 4 bolts on the back do not need to be taken off, I brought the whole knuckle assembly to a shop and they pressed the hub off. I guess those 4 bolts are just there for decoration or somthing lol. Man I didnt know rotors on accords were such bitches!

Those 4 bolts hold the wheel bearing onto the knuckle, they are not just there for decoration.
