Yeah, once you have the screwdriver in place, you might need to tap it a few times with a hammer to loosen it up a bit.

More than likely you will need an impact screwdriver and some PB blaster, WD40, etc. to remove the screws.

this is correct... those screws they are talking about are on integras, civics, and crxs.. not on accords.. I just replaced the wheel bearing for a 95 accord yesterday and was surprised it wasn't like my crx and integra. For us to get the disc off, we had to remove the entire hub assembly. (Remove caliper, disconnect from 3 arms, disconnect axle). Once removed, you can get to the 4 bolts on the back of the hub assembly. There are also 4 bolts on the front of the rotor just hold the rotor to the bearing assembly. These will have to be removed also. You then can press out the bearing assembly w/ a rubber mallot from the back of the removed hub. From there, you can remove the rotor from the bearing assembly. To "press" it back in, you can just use the 4 bolts that you removed from the back of the assembly to "press" it back in. After doing this, I realized how much it must suck to just change the brake rotor. Good luck!

Agreed with above. They are pressed on style rotors.
