Re: What are "press-on" rotors?
 

I have a '87 Honda Accord, and my left-front rotor is warped. I took it
to a muffler & brake shop and they quoted me almost $300! They said
that Honda rotors were the press-on type, and had to be taken to a
machine shop to be pressed on. However, when I looked up rotors in my
Haynes manual, they didn't mention anything about rotors having to be
pressed on; they slide off like any other rotor. My question is, what
year did Honda start using the press-on type rotor, and how do I tell
which type mine is, without risking rendering the car undriveable?

Also, the Haynes manual mentioned something about if the rotor was
stuck, you could thread two bolts into the smaller holes and tighten
them to loosen the rotor that way. Hope it helps in answering my
question, because I DON'T want to have to spend $300 just to replace my
rotors if I can do it myself.
