How do you remove the front brake Rotors on a 1996 Honda Accord?

This car has what they call a captured rotor system, getting the spindle assy off is pretty straight forward but getting the rotor off the Hub assy will require a hydraulic press, so before you even attempt to start this job have a 3-6 ton press available to use and expect to change the hub bearings as well.
New Answer:
A hydraulic press is not required and the hub bearings don't need to be changed.
Remove hubcap. Remove 32mm axle nut. Loosen lug nuts, lift car and remove wheels. Remove brake calipers, (leave lines connected, tie the calipers up to the strut springs with heavy wire). Remove brake caliper mount brackets. Disassemble lower front suspension, (lower ball joint, tie rod, pinch-bolt through damper fork, unplug ABS connector, etc.) Pull steering knuckle out to disengage drive axle. Loosen 4 bolts on inside of knuckle, this holds the hub bearing assembly in place. Soak it with penetrant. The hub sometimes rusts in place and can be extremely difficult to remove. Try a hammer and a punch around the edges, being careful not to drive the punch into the bearing. If that doesn't work, try to heat the front edge of the spindle. Or put the hub bolts back in a few turns and use the punch and hammer on the bolt heads.
Once the hub bearing assembly is free, the rotor can then be removed.
