You don't need to press the bearings out but most of the time its nearly impossible to seperate the rotor from the hub without a press.

The rotors on the accords are bolted onto the bearing/hub, nor pressed onto/into them. Unlike many other hondas, the hub unit is not pressed onto the knuckle; the bearing is pressed into the hub, and the hub is bolted onto the knucke. The rotor is bolted onto the hub. See my previous post for a pictorial account of this.

Fine, you win. I'll go back to discussing car tech with people that actually own Accords.....

That diagram is straight outta the repair manual for the accord. My mother owns an accord, which i work on extensively myself, so I think I know what I am talking about. Unless you are talking about the part where you might have to press the hub outta the bearing......

I should correct myself and say that the bearing in which the hub is pressed into is bolted onto the knuckle, not the hub bolted to the knuckle. Front brake assembly exploded parts view.
