hey i heard a while ago that you could use older odyssey front brakes to swap a 5th gen accords dumb hub over rotor design for a rotor over hub to make doing rotors alot easier and was wondering if thats true and if not what do i need to do it. my car has over 300k miles on it and still runs great and i want to see how far i can get the car to go but im not really trying to keep replacing to front rotors how the set-up is now because it takes way to long.

 

I did this swap on my 95 accord. You need the front hubs from a 98/99 Acura CL and the 98/99 Acura CL rotors. The bearing, caliper, and pads are the ones you use for your accord.

Here is a link from the DIY section on how to do this.

Check out tasauto.com They sell their own conversion kit.

 

I have a 95 Accord wagon EX i know these have bigger rotors than a sedan or coupe, so they must have bigger pads aswell, i was wondering if i would still be able to use my caliper and pads or would I have to get CL or sedan/coupe caliper and pads

 

You'll have to do some research. You'll need to replace the hub and rotor, but you'll have to do some research. The first item is to see if the steering knuckle has the same OEM part number for your accord wagon and the 98/99 CL, because you'll need the new hub/bearing to bolt into the knuckle.

 

Ive done a bit of research over the past couple months. Just got around to ordering the 98-99 CL hubs with bearings which I’ve seen in other threads that they work on this knuckle. Ive also seen that my car since it is a wagon it has 25T caliper brackets which would then be able to fit the V6 CL rotors and pads (same pad number as my wagon). I already got the rotors, pads, lower ball joints, upper control arms with ball joints and tie rod ends. I will be attempting this job tomorrow if my parts get here on time and will post my results and any issues I encounter.
