I am trying to change the rotors on the front end of my 1991 honda accord, but they wont come off, help!?

Question

i have removed the caliper and caliper mounting bracket, as well as the four bolts that are supposedly the only thing holding the hub assembly on, but it still wont budge.

Answer 1

so you removed that big bolt in the middle?? its like a size 24...or something like that....and your going to need an air gun....if you took that off and all the other bolts...it should come off...kick it.

Answer 2

previous answers are correct.  save your foot use a rubber mallet.

Answer 3

The rotors on your Accord are not easily removed. They are bolted to the front bearing hub if my memory is still working. You will need to remove the bearing hub and rotor as a unit and then separate the rotor from the hub. I've done this job a few times on my older Accords, it is a real b*tch. You will need new hub nuts (dealer item) and a really big torque wrench to finish the job correctly.

I believe Honda changed this nasty design finally with the Gen 6 Accords (yours is a Gen 4 or 5). I would not attempt this unless you had a copy of the factory service manual and lots of time and tools. If you are doing this as your rotors are grooved, you might not realize that Honda advises that an "On Car" lathe be used to true up these rotors.

Here's a web site with some possibly helpful photos and procedures summary for a '97

Answer 4

remove the center dust cover and remove the pin and nut maybe will do it .. if it dont just slide off you have to remove the round cap in the center they will be a pin and a nut washer bearing behind that dont forget to regrease bearing before you replace.. replace the four bolts you dont have to remove that part thats part of the spindle just remove the dust cap you will see it pops off with a bit of prying with a small screwdriver
