To remove the rotors on a 92 accord Ex does the axel nut have to be removed? TIA

 

yes, but that is but one part, it is way more involved than that

 

Also the four bolts correct for the hub assembly and the caliper correct? Lot of work just to take off some rotors

 

what are you trying to do to your rotors? did you get new ones or what?

 

Well I need to resurface the rotors because they have a bunch of grooves on them from uneven wear from the brake pads. They are within spec to be resurfaced and I am going to change the brake pads at the same time they look low. The master cylinder is almost dead and I am replacing that also. Any tips on changin the MC? Also the master cylinder that I had ordered from hondaautomotiveparts.com did not come with a bench bleeder kit not sure if they are supposed to be in the box. Well anyways do the local autozone or pepboys carry the bench bleed kit or do most people make their own if so where do you get the fittings at? Also if I did not use a bench bleeder kit will I still be able to get all the air out of the system through the caliper's bleeder screw? Does bench bleeding just cut the time at the calipers? Any help will be appreciated thanks.

My local father and son auto repair shop actually removes the entire knuckle, with the rotor/hub still assembled and puts the whole rig on the brake lathe to turn Accord rotors.

 

Can't the rotors be turned on the car, and actually isn't that the preferred way? I guess a shop would need expensive new hardware to do that.

Sorry, no experience with replacing the MC.

 

I have heard of shops cutting, resurfacing, turning (whatever you want to call it) rotors while they are on the car. I suggest you look into this.

 

Honda dealers do that.
