need axles, rotors and what else?
So my symptoms are:
When turning I hear a clicking
When I brake I get a nasty vibration through the steering wheel.
I am thinking new axles and rotors, anything else I should do while I am doing these?

I know that :P just last week i got my rear rotors resurfaced :P the 1's up in front need to be replaced tho they cant be cut 1 more time but im just gana go ahead and buy some new 1's instead :P hey just a quick question um the piston on the caliper for a 96 accord ........... from what i know you push the piston in right :P but my friend said he had to push the piston in and turn it all at once :P do you have to turn it and push in all at once or idk this is the first time ive done the brakes on this car so its all new 2 me :P

Rear pistons have to be twisted - that's the handbrake auto-adjuster mechanism.
Front pistons can be pushed straight in (C-clamp?).
Either case, be careful you don't wrinkle & tear the rubber dust boot.

Not difficult. You've done the rear ones already? The front rotors are difficult because of the hub-over-rotor configuration. But I never owned an Accord with that, so ???
But as far as the caliper itself, the front seems easier to me because you don't have to deal with a handbrake cable & you can just push the piston straight in. Usually it takes more force than your fingers, so use a C-clamp.

A friend of mine owed me money ........ like $20 but he knows more about cars than i do and he offered to do the work for free in order to pay me back so yeah its all done but next time i want to do it myself :P and im assuming the front one's are easy just the rear one's might be an *** :P do you know what that tool is called to twist and push in the piston on the caliper? need to buy 1 lol thanks for the help by the way

The rear pistons just have a big slot in them. I use a putty knife as a really WIDE screwdriver. Or you can spread open a needlenose pliers & use that to twist the piston.
There's a cube-shape tool to use with a 3/8 extension, but I've never bothered to buy one of those.
