I want to replace them, but was told if they are machined, they need to
be machined on the car. Does this mean they are difficult to remove if
replacing them?

They can be difficult to remove if rusted in place. There is a solution if
they are, though.

And NO you do NOT need to machine them in place. However... you DO need to
be 100% certain tthat the hub and rotor are 1,000,000% free of rust and
grit.

Machining them on the car is the BEST way to do it. This will compensate for
any imperfections in the hub/bearing assembly. But Tegger is right, it is
not an absolute necessity. BTW Tegger, I read alot of posts but do not
always answer them and I just want to say that you do a very good job of
leading people in the right direction. I do not have alot of time to play on
here as I am usually working on an Acura of some sort! It is good that
someone like you has the time and know how to keep people informed. If you
ever need any technical stuff just let me know as I have access to alot of
it!! Just my 2 cents worth.

Yes, and it's a lot more expensive. Much more, certainly, than removing the
discs yourself and bringing them to a shop. My local Acura dealer only does
rotors on-the-car with new cars that are having the work done under
warranty.

I try.

That would be nice.

I wish Honda had something like Toyota's Techinfo site, where you can
download everything from TSBs to full shop manuals for a fee.

You overtighten them then break one off?

Hammer the remains towards the hub until it falls out. Insert new one from
rear, put nut on it and tighten until it's pulled all the way on.

New one won't fit behind the hub? Then you need to remove the hub from the
car. On the fronts, this requires a 20-ton press. On the rears, usually
requires a 600 lb. impact wrench to get the center nut free.

Finally: Your lug nuts only require 80 lbs of torque. Standing on the
wrench to tighten them is overkill. You don't need 200 lbs on them.
