Herite. I had to cut mine out and my car is a little newer than yours. You will more than likely have to do the same thing.

I can do it. I did all 4 of mine in about an hour.

What rotors are you going to use? I went with the ATE. I can get a good deal on them, too, if you want to go with them.

Take off the wheel, take off the caliper, take of the caliper bracket, take off the rotor.
If it's a Honda you'll need to take out two screws holding the rotor on. Which is where an impact screwdriver comes into play.

You shouldn't have to bleed the system afterwards, since you wont need to disconnect the brake line. But you will need to push the caliper piston back in.
