Re: replacing 1990 accord brake roters
 

I am replacing the brake roters on my 1990 accord. After taking off all
the nessesary things i can not take the disc off because of this large
bolt. The bolt is in the center and won't come off, do i have to take
it to a mechanic or can i do this with the right tools myself. Thanks

If the "large bolt" in the "center" is the axle nut, then yes, you will need
to take it off. This is usually the first step in the process of removing
the brake rotors. You can either use a 1/2" impact gun to remove it, or you
can reassemble the suspension to the point where you can use the brakes to
prevent the hub from turning and use a 24" breaker bar to loosen the nut.
