Hello!! Never been here before, as I am not a Honda owner but last weekend I was wrenching on one. My friends 2001 Accord EX 3.0 needed a rear brake job. Rotors, calipers and pads. I told him I could do it, which is true. I have done that job several times, but this one has me stymied. The replacement rotors, Wearever from Carquest, are too small to fit over the wheel hubs by about a 1/4". Has anyone run into this? I went back to Advance that day trying to find a compatible rotor, but most of the Honda rotors were the same size. I don't know if the rear wheel bearings were replaced at some point with a different size hub or if I am missing something about this model of Accord. I put the existing rotors back on, fitted new calipers and pads no problem. I told him I would keep looking for a solution, hence my post here. Thanks in advance for any insight to this head scratcher.
