I picked up a 5 lug knuckle and caliper setup off of a 1999 v6 EX off of ebay for about $275 shipped.

Really lucky and great deal at the time.

I picked up the proportioning valve, new pads, and new rotors and am a set of SS brake lines away from doing the swap.

Should be fairly easy to where I can do it in about 6 hours taking my time on a sunday and drive it up to my alignment shop monday morning to make sure she's straight :)
Let me know how your proportion valve conversion works. I wasn't able to change my proportion valve, because Accords w/ rear disc has ABS, which means that the proportion valve has 2 ports versus 4 ports on our 4 cyl rear drum w/out ABS. (could have the # of port mixed up between I4 & V6, its been awhile since i've attempted to change the proportion valve).

has anyone successfully done the conversion yet? my only worry is the fact that the v6 spline on the end of the axle ( the part that goes into the hub) is larger than the 4cyl's. I really dont have the money to do this from trial and error (and I'm sure many other members on this board has the same concern).

It's the same. I've got most of the parts right now, just need some 5lug wheels and rotors/pads/lines. Then for the weather to get warm so I can start.

YES, I've successfully done this. YES, the 4cyl axle will fit inside the v6 hub, you use your stock 4cyl spindle.

i did the 4 to 5 lug swap on my car. most of these people on this website dont know what they are talking about. all talk but nothing done. what you need is the whole hub assembly. when you take off the wheel, you see the knuckle and everything attached to it is just sway bars and camber arm. remove those wit 17mm. you will need some penetrant and basically remove any bolt you see that is holding the knuckle to the car. hardest part is putting it back in. do not cut anything everything is bolted down and should be unbolted. have a flathead screwdriver handy for when removing the bracket attached to the e-brake cable. that is the best i can do for now. all this was done to my 2000 accord coupe i4.

I would also buy all 10 bolts instead of just extra's to make it 5 bolt

FRONT
90113-S84-901 28608 019 10 BOLT, WHEEL 1.12 0.78

REAR
90113-SM1-005 22398 033 10 BOLT, WHEEL (ROCKNEL FASTENER) 1.50 1.05

As far as drums as this being all you need, you might need to check because I have discs in the rear

Can someone please post what parts are needed in order to do a Rear Disc Swap?

Everyone is posting how to do a 5 Lug Swap on Accord that already have rear disc but are 4 bolt. Mine are 4 bolt Rear Drum and I'm trying to figure out how to do the Complete conversion but I'm only really getting half the answers I need.

Thanks guys.

yes its very possible,scoot to the salvage yard and snatch a rear disc set up from an I-4 ex. they came with rear disc and leather interior.
have fun but be advised,the 6th gen accord had a linked suspension in the rear unlike the accords before it. it shouldn't be too hard though.

From looking at the 01 LX 4 and 01 LX 6 cyl schematics on Majestic Honda's parts site it seems that the bearings/clips are the exact same.

So after the hub/studs/rotors/pads/caliper assembly, what else would there be for the front? Nothing, right?

Will the brake lines from the 4 cyl be able to be mated with the v6 caliper hardware?
 
#53 ·
im doing this swap soon ,i just purchased 2 front knuckles complete,2 rear knuckles complete,the v6 front calipers,going to pick up new ball joints for front.but if you have 4 wheel disc already, the rear calipers,and e brake cables work fine. maybe if i do this soon i will post a how to with pics.

To do a 5 lug conversion on a 6th generation accord you only have to change your four lug hub to the 5 lug hub which is pressed in. buy the front V6 calipers from autozone as well as the front V6 rotors. replace your old brake hoses with new ones while your at it. The rear conversion is even easier IF you have rear disc brakes IF you dont your on your own. For the rear ALL you need to do is the replace the 4 lug rear bearing hub assembly with a five lug as well as the rotor and your done. everything else is identical to it V6 counterpart. Of course dont take my word for it call hondas part department and they will tell you the same thing. Hope this helps.

Hi guys....I'm new to this forum, so I'm planning to work on my 1999 accord LX 4cyc this weekend, I've purchased some oem rims at a bargain price. My question is as follows, will a 2000 prelude type base (the knuckle, hub assembly, rotors, studs, and ball joints) fit my car?

thanks in advance!
