these accords (I think its 90-97 models) are a pain in the ass when it comes
to rotor resurfacing or replacement. we use an on-car brake lath to
resurface them at the dealership I work at. I haven't replaced any but, I
know they're pressed onto the hub, or hub bearing, one of the two. theyres 4
bolts that need to be taken of, then the axle bolt needs come off. i highly
recommend impact tools. at least a half inch drive.
