How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?

Get someone who knows what they're doing work with you because one mistake and you can screw up the ABS system and that will cost you a bundle.How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?
It should not be that hard, the only difficulty you might run into, is if they are rusted in place. If they will not come off easily, start by tapping them with a hammer around the outside and progressively hammer harder till they loosen up.



In my opinion doing a break job yourself, is the best value for a do-it yourselfer. The labor they charge for a easy 2 hour job is crazy.How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?
I would recommend that, since this is your first time, you not do it by yourself but have someone you know help you. Just make sure they know what they are doing. It isn't very hard but just to be safe, get someone with experience. How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?
brakes are one of the most integral parts of a vehicle. i do not recomend you doing a brake job by your self if you do not know what to do allready. too many things can go wrong. if you damage a caliper you would have no idea of it and not be able to stop. so i would have someone that knows how to do it show you what and what not to do. and once you take the calipers off and change rotors, you have to reset the caliper and if you do that wrong you can destroy it and have no sign of it until your brakes fail and you try and panic stop and crash. get some help. or even better get a manual. they are made for the do it yourselfer, theyll tell you what to do and how to do it, rather then why you do it and other methods and the mechanics and all that like i learn from my 800$ automotive textbooks. a chilton manual is about 20$.How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?
2002 should be really easy.

The hardest part is taking off the rotors and brakes.

Once they are all off, just re-assemble and make sure to gravity bleed the brakes.

While you are there change the brake pads also.How hard would it be to change the rotors by myself on a 2002 acura rsx?
Not very hard if you know what you are doing. If not, have someone who does know help you, not do it for you. Working on your car is the best way to learn every little detail about it, plus it gives you knowledge for later on. My best friends dad is a mechanic so if I need help with something he is the first person I ask. You learn so much. Good luck.
