It’s likely that my car is the same as the one in the video….could be
different but it is a 2008 Sonata, so I imagine my brake pistons would be
the same.
@themrfreeze07 these cars have horrible rear brakes, there’s all sorts of
people complaining about the sonata’s rear brakes causing a metal to metal
sound, and baffling mechanics, they say its debri, bad brakes or rust. my
gf’s car keeps doing this, making the metal to metal sound, and hence why
im here learning how to dismantle this huge POS> =D
Good video, nice, clear, concise. I wish there was one of these for every
car model. For those of us prone to overtightening things, but who are also
blessed with a “click wrist”, what is the proper torque for the 4 bolts
holding the caliper assembly? And what are the proper torques for the wheel
lug nuts, for both steel and alloy (numbers not found in the glove box
owners manual)?
I’ve never understood why carmakers use a phillips SCREW to hold the rotors
on. You’d think they’d at least use something you can grip if it seizes
like an allen.
Did it on my 2008 and the video is spot on. It is easy. The front is more
difficult if you want to replace the rotors. All is easy if it is on the
back or your just replacing pads.
That tool you used to compress the piston, is there another way to do that
if you don’t have that tool? Or should I just purchase the tool itself and
be done with it?
I have a Q, that I still can find a right answer: The caliper piston push
on pad, what push the other one against the rotor? When the caliper push
the pad, it pull the other one against the rotor? what make the other pad
to return to its position when caliper return?
@richpin06a Wow. I’m over in Western NY, and have had such problems with
rear disc brakes on *every* car I’ve ever owned. Now I only buy cars with
rear drums. Good to know Hyundais aren’t any better. In your experience,
are there any car brands whose rear discs hold up to the winter abuse?
That’s not true about needing to bleed the brakes. If you compressed the
piston, you forced air into the system by pushing it back in. It’s always
good practice to bleed the brakes after any piston compression.
best video made…excellent…which way do you turn the little adjustment
wheel to adjust the shoes??? and how did you clean the guides so pads dont
stick?
theres two bolts holding the caliper on just undo em both
Thank you for making this video!
how to remove the calipers?

@chapman5320 Anything to keep them free is a good idea.
Thanks for the video. Just make sure you don’t leave the e -brake on. You
will have a prob. Trying to put.everything back together
@DemoFly I’ve seen socks inside a rotor.LOL!!

Just did it. Used a c clamp and a piece of wood and it works easily. Very
little pressure to compress the piston.

What do you think about those rotors with holes, compare with regulars, are
they better?
Great video. Is there a pin and castle nut that you have to remove before
taking off the rotor?

It is disc brakes with a drum type setup for the parking brake.

@richpin06a thanks for posting these vids, im gonna be working on a 03
jaguar in not too long and these vids are great
@JigoLigo Sure can part # 27111 from AutoZone
Is it necessary to remove the brake fluid cap while pushing the caliper
back in
That tool you used to compress the piston, is there another way to do that
if you don’t have that tool? Or should I just purchase the tool itself and

It is what they call a floating caliper if you google that phrase you can
find out more about it.
Piston could be sticking or there could be a problem with the parking brake.
@aiiceejew Should not need to touch them unless you are driving with the
parking brake on.

sweet video..your saving Americans money ! good job and thanks for the time
and effort on making the video …
I use a “C Clamp” 3 to 6 inch with a small shim to protect the caliper
piston. Works good!
Do you have a video for the front pads replacement of the Sonata
2008…thanks.

Where did you get the caliper piston compressor from?
@RacerE7773 , Thanks… I thought it for ABS brake…
That’s not true about needing to bleed the brakes. If you compressed the
piston, you forced air into the system by pushing it back in. It’s always
good practice to bleed the brakes after any piston compression.
Everything was exactly as showed. Thanks!
After the tire is on.
Whaaaat? Shoes inside of a rotor? I have never seen that before.
Saved my ass. First time doing my brakes and I’m done one side!
best video made…excellent…which way do you turn the little adjustment
wheel to adjust the shoes??? and how did you clean the guides so pads dont
stick?
Nice work….
