I know it's been covered on the 7th Gen Accord, So hope don't mind me posting :blush: This job can get ridiculously expensive at any garage and if done at a dealer it could cost a small fortune 
so on that note maybe it's worth having a go yourself B)
So with bit of common sense and some forward thinking :lol: this guide covers either front or rear brakes for most Honda's considering variants in calipers?
As above remove the retaining screws, these often seize up so a hammer tap on the screw driver is often all that’s needed to free them but failing that a heat gun or blow torch to expand the metal usually works a treat
Now remove the 12mm caliper retaining bolts and secure the caliper to avoid damaging the brake hose?
Then remove the 17mm carrier bolts, you may require some strength to loosen these as sometimes they have locking compound on the threads
Obviously when your working on rear brakes you choc the front wheels and release the handbrake However' the disk may not come of as easily as you expect on the 7th-8th Gen tourers :-/ and they may require you to loosen the handbrake further. Also as the illustrations show the adjuster almost top center for an 8th Gen tourer the 7th Gen is located dead center at the bottom and the cog needs turning with flat end screw driver to slacken or tighten when the new disk is fitted ???
When installing the new disk it's advisable to replace the two screws and grease the threads so it's easier to remove in the future Anyway it should be plain sailing now, so I wont bore you to much more :lol:
As you can see above I used a G clamp a nice and straight forward procedure, this what I would use on front calipers too
