Im having an issue trying to remove the front rotors. Im replacing because it pulsates when I brake. The front bads look ok. Still have plenty on them and actually have even wear on them. I do feel a little bit of a warp to the rotors. I am able to remove everything and the rotor spins free, but cant get it out to replace!

also, when I turn to my left only, I hear like a slight burp from the car. Almost like a back fire or like I have a hole in my exhust somewhere. But I only hear this when I turn left.

THANKS!

On 1997 Accords the hub and bearing assy. must be removed to replace rotor.

If you don't have the proper tools to do this you may want to have a shop do it.

You unbolt the hub from the knuckle. The bearing slides over the CV shaft splines into the hub. So you have to pull the bearing out from axle and hub.

This setup is unique to Honda as far as I know. Most rotors pull off after the caliper bracket is removed weather the bearing is pressed on or a sealed hub assy.
