What is your question?
My car shudders during deceleration and it's not wheel balancing because I just had new tires installed and balanced and it doesn't shudder at any speed unless braking. So I figure it's the rotors. I want to replace the pads (which I know is easy) and the rotors (which I hear varying things about, but haven't seen anything specific to the 1996 Accord EX). Does anybody know how difficult it is to replace the rotors ON THIS MODEL? I read the 96 Civic has a knock-off mechanism making the rotors an easy job. I read elsewhere you have to disconnect the hub and suspension to access the bolts holding on the rotors in a 95 accord. So which is it?? Thanks.

This year Accord has the rotors that bolt on to the back of the hub and the hub has to be removed to change the rotor. The suspension has to be disassembled to gain access to the four bolts holding the bearing/hub/rotor assembly in the knuckle. The fit between the bearing and knuckle makes it difficult at best to try to separate the two. In cases where the vehicle has been exposed to road salt the job is next to impossible to disassemble.
