If I am replacing both the rotors (warped) and bearings on a 94 Accord EX, do I need the Puller to separate rotor and bearing assembly? I have about 30 hours to finish this, then I have to be on the road. Help ASAP. Much Appreciated.

You won't need a puller to separate the rotor from the hub, but you will need some kind of puller to separate the bearing from the hub. Then the new bearings need to be pressed on. If you have a press it will be easy, if you don't take it to someone with a press. Once you get the hub separated from in knuckle (which involves disconnecting the driveshaft and the lower ball joint) the rotor will just bolt off. Front brakes are a bitch, that's why mechanics rape you on them.

 

i just pulled the rear rotors on my 94 lx.. for that u gotta get new hubs for the bearings.. they wont replace the bearings becuz the race is machined to the hub... japanese people... what are they thinkin... it costed me 240 dollas for the rear rotors hubs with bearings and everything in em.. and pads. and the rotors pull right off.. if not just wiggle them or hit em with a hammer

 

slide hammer with hub adapter...

 

Rear end was no problem -- once I figured out you couldn't separate the bearings from the rotor.. Broke a wooden handled mallet trying to do it! Anyway, the front rotors are warped. They were replaced by a Honda mech about 50K miles ago. 192K miles on it; 30K in past year. I guess I'll just put the brake pads back on and go to the DITY garage on the Army Post where I work during the week.

Thanks for the shout out and telling me what I really didn't want to hear
