90 accord rotors and boots

On a 90 accord 4cyl manual, is there a procedure minus the special tools for

Do you need to get the axles out for the rotor replacement? I don't
recall. If you do need to get the axle out, the bottom ball joint is a
bitch to get out - difficult to get a jaw type puller to stay straight and
