Older Accords used the simple system of brake rotor attachment like most modern cars, rotor located in place by some small screws, and then held by the wheel. I did my '84 myself with no problems, the rotors are just held on by the small screws. But the 92 and others use a different system. The shop my daughter went to Pep Boys has a $114 extra charge for this model, as it uses"non-separable axles", and requires a lot of extra labor. Several other shops had the same response. Cost her $335 for the job, which had to include new rotors. It almost has to be done by a pro. This isn't the only expensive job on that Accord. The timing belts cost a lot to replace, there is a timing belt and a balance shaft belt, and you pretty much have to replace the water pump as it requires the same difficult and expensive procedure to get at it, as it runs off the timing belt The distributors were widely defective on the 92's also, and requires replacement of the whole distributor. The original was of poor quality and the bearings would wear out and the unit fail (dealer verified this). I replaced her's myself to the tune of about $200, a special price from Honda as it is a known problem. Her interior door handles etc are falling apart, need to get new ones. My wife has a Ford Taurus and hasn't had a cent spent on it, no timing belts, no brakes, no bad distributor, no valve adjustments. Just oil change, gas, and go. Plus the Vulcan V6 is quieter and more powerful than her Accord 4 and was standard equipment. It feels tighter and tracks better too. Accords have too much brand loyalty, I call em as I see'em.[/b]
