How do you change the front rotor on a 1997 Honda LX? I have the knuckle out of the car.

Remove the tire. Open the caliper bleed screw and pry/ push the caliper completely open, Holding it open close the bleeder screw. remove the caliper bracket bolts(17MM). Pull and let the calipers hang( If the hose can withstand 2500 to 3000 PSI, it can handle 3 pounds of weight). Remove the screws from the rotor. Use heat on these, Even a blow dryer with a few minutes helps. They strip easily. no need to put them back in. Remove the brake rotor, use a hammer and beat if off if necessary. Rotate it as you hit it. Reinstall and check the brake fluid in the reservoir. If you can afford it, do both sides.

Try this:

Take off the brake caliper. hang the brake caliper with some safty wire to take stress off or the brake hose. then to remove the rotor take to two phillips head screws out of the rotor then pull it off. if it seems a bit sticky and wont come off then give it a hit with a dead blow.

We are talking Brake rotors so on the inside of the brake calipers you will find 4 screws 2 14mm and 2 17mm losen the larger of these screws and take off the brake calipers then just pull out the rotor install new ones ane return everything back as it was adjust the brakes accordingly
