Removing Honda Accord Brake Rotors

Q. I have a 1997 Honda Accord. I'd rather not pay $100 or more to have my rotors turned, so I need to find out how I can take them off myself and have them turned at a local service station. Do you need a special tool in order to do this? I heard that some Hondas required a special tool in order to do this. Any way around this, or do you know where I could buy/rent such tool? I've already tried using another tool and the rotor absolutely will not come off.

Thanks for your help!

A. The only special tool you will need is a ball joint fork to seperate the upper and lower ball joints. You have to remove the whole steering knuckle assembly to get to the bolts in back of the rotor and hub assembly.
