Does it take any special tools to replace the front brake rotors and pads?

Q.does it take any special tools to replace the front brake rotors and pads on 1996 accord lx sedan 4cyl.

Answer You won't need anything special to replace the brake pads. Just a set of metric wrenches (its either 12 or 14 mm ) for the bolt hold the caliper tight.

To replace the brake rotors, they will need to be pressed off. Most people that do this job themselves remove the entire spindle assembly and take that and the new rotor to a machine shop to have the rotor replaced.
Unless the rotors is too thin, warped causing a pulsation, or damaged from metal to metal brake pads, then I suggest just replacing the pads only.
