The download manual for 2.5 and 3.2 TL's will help.

Any Honda procedure for trapped rotors will work. See following link.

http://www.bscparts.com/pdfs/hondafrontrotorremoval.pdf

I've used a variation of this procedure w/ two long bolts (purchased from Honda, part of rear suspension). I used these two bolts on oppostie sides of the removed knuckle-hub assembly to separate the hub from the knuckle. I found it was too tight quarters to do in-place so I removed the entire knuckle-hub assembly. I used a 6" vise to suspend and restrain the knuckle while I rapped the bolts w/ a hammer (pretty hard raps!) to drive the hub out.

I wound up replacing rotors on three vehicles; Acura 2.2CL, 94 Accord EX, and Acura 2.5TL.

A good ball joint separator tool (not fork which damages boots) is essential. Good time to replace damaged boots. I found about half of mine were cracked and replaced all of them.

good luck
