4 Gen Accord

[henrymv]

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?

what do u mean discs? you mean brakes? like rotors?

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.

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.

Yes I bought 2 front rotors....

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.
