Removal (Except Odyssey & S2000)
Loosen lug nuts with vehicle weight on tires. Pry lock tab away from spindle nut, and loosen nut. Raise and support vehicle. Remove lug nuts and spindle nut. Remove wheel assembly. Remove brake hose mounting bolts, caliper assembly, and support aside. DO NOT put weight on flexible brake line.
Remove brake disc retaining screws. Install two 8 x 1.25-mm bolts in brake disc, and tighten bolts to force brake disc from hub. Alternate tightening of bolts to prevent brake disc from binding on hub .. after you have removed disc from hub .. you should be able to tap out offending lug nut and replace with new one ..
