The removal of the front rotors is pretty involved. You need to consult a manual for the procedure.Comment

You will need the large Axle Nut Socket to remove that large axle nut with an impact gun!Originally posted by 42na2cb7 View Post
The 4 Hex bolts will remove the rotor from the bearing. This will be done after you have the knuckle out of the car. Make sure you use a 12 point socket for 12 point bolts and a hex socket for the hex bolts!

Exactly.
Look at the link above, and look for threads in the DIY section (there are at least 2 that I know of.) You CAN do it yourself... I have (well, I've helped my friend do it), but there's much more to it than simply undoing a couple bolts and screws, and sliding the rotor off.
If you do it yourself, be prepared to replace your ball joints if you tear a boot. Check for torn boots now, and if any are, replace those at the same time as the rotors.
To make the job easier in the future, you can convert to "rotor over hub", which would make the rotors as you expected... a couple screws and it comes off. TASauto.com has a kit, or you can assemble parts from other Hondas with that setup.

remove the spindle and take the 4 14mm bolts loose on the back by the bearing and the 14mm bolts on the front and bam, rotor is off. simple as that. takes a little time is all. slide hammers and beating the bearing apart are completely unessesary. 90% of time you will damage the bearing doing it that way. good luck.ODBWeldingWerks
