pads are not hard to change, rotor has 5 bolts on the back attached to the rotor, not like a civic 2 small screws on the front of the rotor to hold it in place. the accord rotor after taking the calipers off to change the pad, the hub needs to be loosened off to gain access to the back of the rotor to remove the bolts. I beleive they are throx head. If you have not do these before, get a mechanic friend to show you how or send to the shop. dont know cost sorry.
