4 Gen Accordhenrymv 10-17-2005, 07:10 PM I just purchased new Brembro discs for my 90 accord. Also purchased new torque wrench and spindle nut. Looking at the disc is it looks a little more difficult than I thought to - So my question: Has any one ever changed out discs? How hard was it any tricks? Thnaks Henry russiankid 10-17-2005, 08:27 PM what do u mean discs? you mean brakes? like rotors? mpumas 10-18-2005, 12:08 AM Now you need to buy a ball joint separator tool to remove the steering tie rod ball joint and the lower ball joint from the lower arm. After you spit the ball joints without damaging the threads on the ball joints, the rest is easy. While you are in there, check the front wheel bearings and the cv boots. Make sure all wheels are on the ground when you try to loosen and tighten the spindle nut. henrymv 10-18-2005, 02:44 PM I looked at the upper ball joint....I do not see a nut to remove before I seperate them.. Does anyone have a manual thta shows the steps... I just have both my CV axles and boots repalced last week. henrymv 10-18-2005, 02:44 PM Yes I bought 2 front rotors.... mpumas 10-18-2005, 05:43 PM You dont separate the upper ball joint, just the bottom and the steering tie rod ball joint. I have the manual but you are just going to have to believe me on how to do the repair. henrymv 10-19-2005, 09:44 AM mpumas....thanks for the info. I need to some how see this the manual to make sure I do it correctly. Which manual do you have?? WhenI remove the ball joint, do I need to replace it as well?? ALso DO i need to get a new aglinment?? Henry mpumas 10-19-2005, 01:52 PM I have a Chiltons.
