It's a 97 TL 2.5 and Joseph nailed it. The hub has to be pressed out to remove the rotor, which is why I now own a nice new 12 ton press that doubles nicely as a firewood splitter.

you don't need a press its the same brakes that come on the accords, you need a set of ***** and a slide hammer

swivel sockets, stubby/long handled wrenches, metric line wrenches, good quality 3/8 ratchet (with low º rotation per click, makes tight spaces 10x faster to work in) um.. brass/rubber mallet, gasket material

Eh, Sorry to break it to you son. I went at it with a 16 lb slide hammer for about 3 hours. Then my neighbor and I went at it for another hour using the slide hammer and a 16 lb sledge. Nobody was getting this thing out with a slide hammer. I wore a pair of welding gloves and I had bruises all over my hands when I finally stopped. I also tried using 4 longer bolts and an air hammer as the Wagner technical bulllitin shows, that didn't budge anything. When I did finally get it to break with the 12 lb press, I broke the rotor in half. Then the hub snapped so loud, I thought I broke the press. I had to take a wire wheel to it and grease it with white lithium to get it back in using the press.
