How long does it take to put on new rotors on the front ? And someone also told me that if i put new rotors on there is a part that i have to put on each side that is like $60.00 per side. Is this true ?

prolly takes a couple of hrs to put em on, but the rotors need to b machined pressed on and off the $60.00 part i believe ur talkin about is the hub bearings. the front rotors on our cars aren't as simple to slip on and off i recommend takin it to a shop 2 get done if u don't have the press urself or access to one, it's a pain. some peeps on here did it themselves but i myself didn't risk it i took it to the shop cost more $ but i know it was done right

When you say our cars do you mean all hondas,accords,front wheel drive? Me and my friend did his 93civic should they be redone, what do you think? Also we just switched the rorors nothing else.

It's just the 4th gen accords that I know about. Like halfros said the bearing assembly needs to be pressed out. Not only that but you have to pull the drive shaft to get to the twelve point bolts on the back of the rotor assembly. It's a pain in the ass.

Yeah pressing of the rotors is a pain in the ass. I know this isn't the prescribed method, but it will work. If you take the control arm off. Remove the four bolts on the back. You can set that control arm down in a vice with the back of the rotor facing up. extend your vice so that the hub will be free to fall down when it lets go. Find a washer the size of your bearing assembly put it on the back of the hub, put a socket on top of it and then hit the top of the socket with dead blow hammer. I've done this many times to my accords. Never had a problem with it. Like i said before this is not the prescribed method but it will work. Oh and spray some pb blaster on the back of the bearing assembly and let it soak in before you start whacking the socket. I've never got the hub off of the bearing this way, but i'm sure it can be done.
