The brake rotors on a 2005 Honda Accord are responsible for stopping the forward movement of the car. These rotors are what the brake pads drag on, and every time the brake pedal is pressed, the rotors wear down just a little bit further. That means that eventually, the rotors will wear down and when that happens, the rotors will need to be removed and replaced. This can be done in around 30 minutes or so.

Put on the parking brake and lift the front of the Accord. Undo the front lock nuts with the tire iron and then pull the wheels off of the rotors.
2Take out the bolts that hold the brake caliper mounting bracket to the front suspension with the ratchet. Use the heavy gauge wire and pliers to hold the pliers from the upper control arm or the strut, as long as the brake line isn't twisted.
3Unscrew the two screw holding the rotor to the front hub using the Phillips-head screwdriver. Install the 8X1.25mm bolts into the rotor and tighten them down with the ratchet. Take the rotor off of the front hub and away from the Accord.
