it is a 36mm nut,
and using the puller is a better idea than what I did.
I used the four hub to knuckle mounting bolts and beat on them in sequence. once I removed the hub the first time I never seized the shit out of everything and it was 5 times easier the second time. It only took me 2 hours to change the fronts last time, with 20 - 30 minutes being used to get the car jacked up.
Now for the AEM big rotor kit. I see this as a complete waste of money. big rotors are not what give you stopping power, your pad contact patch and pad material is. so bigger calipers is what you need. second of all they charge even more because it is cross drilled and/or slotted. This is not a true performance upgrade, it is a theory that it is better.

he real conversion is in using stock Honda parts.
1. Accord Wagon Brembo blank rotors 11"
2. NSX/ Accord Wagon calipers
3. ATE Super Blue High Temp fluid
that is it, cost as much if not less and will give you more reliable and effective braking by far.
the thing you have to remember is that you have no clue what real braking is. You really do not need this upgrade unless you are doing track events. If you have never experienced brake fade from overheating or smelled your brakes cooking you are no where close to needing any of this.
