Unhappy adjusting brakes after rotor/pad replacement

i just want to confirm any possible quirks with 4th gen brakes(1996 ta) before i start....im going to replace front/rear rotors&pads....are the front brakes like the old school rotors where you have to pull bearings and everything....also, once everything is back together what is best way to adjust brakes....or do you simply drive them to reseat pads.....
thanks in advance,
john

Nope, on the 4th gen, you don't need to do anything with the hub/bearings to replace the rotor. Just pull the caliper off, and the rotor should fall off in your hands.

Once you've done the swap, give the pedal a few pumps to get the pistons pushed back out (or be surprised on that first stop!), and you're set. You may want to bed the pads/season the rotors, if you're into that...
