98 accord front rotor removal?
I'm looking to replace front rotors and pads.
Someone mentioned in another post about trouble removing the screws that
hold the rotor in place.
It this the setup on the 98 Accord Coupe V6???
I've never run across rotors that are screwed to the hub...( never owned a
Honda )
I'm on the fence about doing this job myself or paying to have it done...
Is rotor removal going to be a battle on this car???
TIA
Steve

no. it's two screws for the disk and two bolts for the caliper. can't
get much easier.

Re: 98 accord front rotor removal?
use an impact screwdriver, the prescribed tool from honda. You hit the end
of it with a hammer, and it presses into the head of the screw while turning
it out. Works great for lots of different applications. Got mine for $10 at
a surplus hardware store...
Some accords rotors are pressed on though. This I would take to the shop. I
have seen the shop use a special tool that machines the rotors while they are
still on the car, so they must think removal is a pain in the *** too...

Re: 98 accord front rotor removal?
Is there a way to tell if they are press fit?
