How to Install Brake Rotors on a Honda Integra

Acura, the luxury car division of the Honda Motor Company, manufactures the Integra. According to Edmunds, the Integra's quality is the reason it has such a large following in the U.S. Quality, however, does not mean the Integra is immune to breakdown since, at some point in time, all automobile parts will wear or sustain damage and require repairs. If the brake rotors have grooves or other damage to them, they will need to be replaced.

Instructions

1

Place wheel chocks behind the rear wheels and raise the car with an automobile jack. Place a jack stand under the frame of the car and lower it onto the stand with the jack.

2

Remove the lug nuts on the wheel with a lug wrench then remove the wheel.

3

Unscrew the retaining bolts from the brake caliper with a socket and ratchet. Secure the caliper to the strut with a wire tie to avoid damaging the brake line.

4

Remove the rotor retaining screws with the appropriate-sized screwdriver. Some model-years of Acuras do not have them installed. Pull the rotor away from the wheel assembly. If it does not come off freely and there are no retaining screws, hit the rotor with a rubber mallet until it breaks free.

5

Install the new rotor onto the wheel assembly then reinstall the retaining screw if so equipped. Replace the caliper onto the wheel and tighten the retaining bolts with the socket and ratchet. Remount the wheel onto the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench. Remove the jack stand from under the vehicle and lower the car to the ground.

6

Repeat the process on the other wheel. You should always replace rotors in sets.
