I keep on seeing people spend hours and hours screwing around with the stupid hub over rotor design of our front brakes. This is the best way to rid your car of them, and get nice looking new brakes, and save money. I isnt hard, since you throw away that whole disk assembly and put in a new one. And from then on, its hella easier. And just think, do it this way, and next time your rotors warp, all you will have to do is take the two bolts out from the caliper bracket, and take off the rotor, and slide a new one on.

that thread will give you all you will need to know.
as an example, I got a quote from a local place that I had used for repairs that I did not want to do. They quoted me 600 on replacing front rotors and pads and bearings on my 91. I was like there is no way. So by shopping around, I replaced: tie rod ends, master cylinder, AEM pads, 99 cl 2.3 rotors, 99 cl 2.3 hubs, 91 accord bearings, accord calipers all for around 450 when I did it myself.
The only parts you NEED to complete rotor over hub are:
99 cl 2.3 hubs
99 cl 2.3 rotors
91 bearings(if yours is in bad condition...easier to replace this so you dont have to try and get the old one off)
The four screws(two for each side) that hold the rotors on.
And you should use new pads(for your car) since you are changing the rotor.
If you have any questions post them up, im sure there are a few others on the board that know an answer.
