Assistance Needed: Rear Rotor Removal

I wouldn't consider replacing an in spec rotor.

If you've got this torn down far enough to get the rotors resurfaced, unless one was too badly scored, I'd get them turned and ask the shop to clean up the hub (many shops will do this anyway).
 
If you were able to get OEM or better rotors for less than the cost of resurfacing, you got a good deal. :)

When you replace the pads, replace all the shims and small parts (included in the Honda pad kits) and grease (also in the OEM pad kit) the guides per the repair manual. Annual inspection and re-greasing the guides will prolong the pad and rotor life. While you have the vehicle down for service, this would also be a good time to drain and replace the brake fluid.

Next time pay attention to the warning squeal from the pads and replace them ASA before the rotors get scored. :)
