Default 96 Accord LX...rear brake swap

How hard is it to change the rear braking system from drums to discs.
I found a 96 EX at Pull-a-Part with nice looking discs and I hate the
drums that I have on my LX.

Not sure how difficult.

The emergency brake cable will need to be changed and probably the brake lines.

Really, you should look up the OEM parts for the 96LX and the 96EX to compare what is different between the knuckle and the braking systems.

You'll probably need the rear knuckes and maybe some of the suspension links. Maybe the anti-roll bar is different? Brake hoses too.

Look at part numbers for the brake proportioning valve - that might be different.
