A friend of mine needs to get her rear rotors replaced and I offered to help her. She has a 00 Accord Sedan 4cyl. with 4 wheel disks. Is it similar to civic/integra rotor replacement? I've read that the axle-nut needs to be removed to get the rotor off. Is this true?

ummmm....no!

if i'm not mistaken the rear rotors will come off very easily.

should be exactly like a prelude.

just a matter of taking off the caliper. (just a few bolts) and popping it off. might need a long bolt to push the caliper off as i had to do. its i THINK 8x1.25mm bolt. needs to be about 5" long

Thanks CHAHONDA and Crate! I hope you two are correct and I'm pretty sure you are.

it's easy as hell....

take off caliper, remove the 2 12mm(?, i think they're 12mm) bolts holding them on w/ an impact driver, and screw them in the opposite holes to get the rotor to pull away from the hub. thats about all there is.

btw, to get the caliper back on, use a c-clamp to close it back up on the inside...

i tried that "c-clamp"method. its easier to just turn the piston clockwise. a LOT easier.
