Any good high temp "brake specfic" grease will work ... I just really like the PBR stuff
Impact Driver: Sears
Craftsman Impact Driver - Model 47641 at Sears.com
To remove Rotor,
Using impact driver above loosen and then remove the two philps head retaining bolts
Sorry I said 12mm above (it is a 12mm head) it is a 8mm x 1.25(thread pitch) bolt ...which you should be able to pick up anywhere that stocks metric bolts.
As for proper instructions ... If you are going to be working on your car regularily I HIGHLY reccoemnd that you buy a copy of the Helms Service manual ... BUT for this weekend you can probabaly download a PDF copy of a RSX shop manual ... The TypeS the front and rear rotors and calipers are essentially the same ... therefore the process and torque settings should be the same as well.
Brakes are pretty easy ...You just have to take your time and make sure you do it right (Use a shop manual) ... remember it is your safety we are talking about here.
