I got a honda a couple months ago and do all repairs on my own.
I was wondering if the rotors on this car are press fitted on, and if they are
what to do about it.

"Press fitted on"???

What the hell does that mean? They are either disc brakes with removable pads or drum brakes with (slightly more complicated) removable shoes.

Are you sure you should be doing all your own maintenance, especially on such safety sensitive systems as the brakes??

yes press fitted...normally rotors are held on by nothing but the rim and lugs and caliper. Once you remove the lugs rim and caliper with the brake pads the rotor just comes off. That is is how my 89 silverado is. On my sisters 06 impala its the same thing but a small screw into the hub holds the rotor on. So i herd that some Honda rotors are press fitted on to where you have to take it to a machinist to get them off by pressing them off by maching and putting them back on the same way.
