Are accord rotors "press on"

[regulatorocks]

a mechanic asked me this today when i wanted a quote for replacing my rotors and pads...he said something about them being press on and i had no idea what to say

what is he talking about?

[93accordexcoupe]

yes they are pressed on. cb7's are hub over rotor.

i think i got a qutoe for like $200 to get mine replaced. freakin parts and labor...

[amazin'_asian]

yeah, I just payed about that much to get my rotors and pads replaced.....

ill be changing my own pads, but i might get someone to change my rotors tho. if i dont get off my lazy butt and change them myself. lol

i bought my pads for 35$ bucks and the previous owner gave me some OEM rotors with the car

so far ive been quoting from 90-130 on labor, dealership wanted 150

The rotors are technically not pressed on, the are bolted to the hub. The hub itself has a wheel bearing pressed onto it, then the wheel bearing/hub assembly also press fits into the knuckle bore to complete this entire assembly. These two press fit circumstances are what makes the changing of rotors on this setup a pain in the butt. If you have access or the right tools, it makes it easy, but still somewhat time consuming, more than a rotor-over-hub design.

i changed my wheel bearings and replaced my rotors with powerslots and thermoquite pads... took me alllllll day with about a 4 hour trip to my friends machine shop to cut the old wheel bearings off the fucking hubs... the rotors are easy to change... wheel bearings are a nightmare... I HATED IT

thank god someone chimed in who knew what they were talking about.

the rotors are not pressed on. The bearing is pressed into the hub. Rotors can be changed without damaging the wheel bearing. a simple search of the DIY section reveals this:

replacing the rear bolts with longer ones and using an air chisel with a blunt tip to walk the rotor out :

using a slide hammer *note* if using this method remove the 4 bolts behind the hub holding the rotor prior to using the slide hammer so the bearing comes out with the hub, avoiding wheel bearing seperation

same thing:

same as first pretty much, except instead of an air chisel you hammer it out. VIDEO INCLUDED!!

if u plan on keeping the car for a while. i highly recommend doing the rotor over hub conversion. according to my daily driving i used to do a brake job every 6 months. (60-70k)

i invested a bit in the upgrade & so my labour for brakes came out to $100/4 corners as to $220. some guys have done the prelude srv knuckle conversion with comes rotor over hub & bigger rotor surface.

[shanleycb7]

the acura cl also have the rotor over hub design

[naphta91]

^^ thats right. i went with acura cl(98-99) hubs & rotors for the conversion.

i get lost every time i see rotor over hub design. lol. what is that?
