so...im sure everyone knows how to take the caliper, just one 14mm bolt for the hose and two 17mm bolts for the mounting.
take that bitch out.
1. blast off the axle nut
2. take cotter pin and castle nut off (17mm) and seperate the lower ball joint out with whatever method but i prefer this way...
i used a pry bar to fill the gap
3. push the axle through the spline? or hole or whatever
4. bust loose the 4-14mm bolts facing towards you but dont take them off, just loosen them like 180 degrees...(you might want to do this b4 taking the axle out otherwise it'll just spin. but if you have a impact gun, then go for it)
5. flip the whole assembly around and there will be 4 star shaped bolts, a 12pt 10mm socket will do. so bust those out.
6. get 4 10mmx1.25 and 60mm bolts long. costed me 6 dollars at orchard supply.
7. install and thread like halfway in and follow this video...

well, if you are on 56k then it sucks for you but i shall explain it. once all of the bolts are in, just hammer the bolts in, and the whole assembly should pop out. remove the bolts
8. you should get something like this.
remove the 4-14mm bolts.
9. replace rotor and reassemble the assembly onto the car. the star shaped bolts should go on TIGHT, as tight as you can because it is supposed to be pressed on but fuck honda.
10. after that reverse assembly and light off a couple of these in celerbration of your new rotors :thumbsup:

It's easy if you know what you're doing. I use old head bolts to thread in the hub and then I pound it out with a BFH. On the car lathes are better if the rotor has enough material left to refinish it. It's better because the lathe is mounted to the vehicle and any inperfections in the wheel bearings/hubs will be there when the rotors are refinished so you won't notice any vibration later.
