Just a quick and easy video showing how to replace the rear brake pads and Rotors on a 2013 Hyundai Accent. If you live in an area where vehicles are prone to rust, you might want to have a few of the replacement screws that hold the rotor on the hub available in case they don't want to come off.
I also made a video showing how I replaced the front brake pads & rotors on this same vehicle:

14mm socket and/or wrench
Large Philips number 3 Impact Screwdriver
Hammer
Torque Wrench
Torque spec that I found online for the caliper slide pin bolt is 23 ft. lbs.
Torque spec that I found online for the Caliper Bracket bolt is 53 ft lbs.

Maybe you should mention that the protruding rivet on the back of the pad should fit into one of the slots in the piston and not on top. Just line the piston up with the pin and make sure the piston is flush with the back of the pad.

[@markfowler5577]

Dan - You're the man! So easy with your video handy. Really appreciated the links at the end for parts - the brake caliper tool is well worth the small price.

[@redan499]

Very clear and concise, and exactly what I was looking for.. even down the the year! thanks so much, you saved me over $200.

[@brmelectric]

Such a great informative and well put together video. Ten out of ten.

[@rostislavkappel6553]

Very helpful and clearly visible video.I used pliers to turn the calipers and it work too.Thanks man.

[@Jaron22]

Excellent video. We'll spoken and informative. No fluff and all the extra tid bits

[@nix9948]

You saved my day thanks a lot! Just ordered the kit and I'll get it in 2 days, I used to push the brake piston on my previous cars with a C clamp but on these pistons you must push and rotate at the same time, so it doesn't work with a C clamp.

[@JacobFolsom]

Thanks for the tip on the rear caliper...I bent my clamp trying to push it in and thought it was seized and had to take a break to rethink it...rookie move on my part. Learned something new today, much appreciated

[@gavincrispin1436]

caliper slide bolts are 25lb,brake caliper retainer bolts are 75 lb,wheel nuts are 85ft,lb.great video mate,doing my neighbours car for her saving her a bunch of money.the caliper tool kit was only 28 dollars and some cents on ebay and well worth it..

[@earlk9282]

Dan, thanks for the video. You saved me a few $$$$ on DIY.

[@wilrosh7]

Thanks for the video! You explained it perfectly you had good lighting on the vide. 💯 🔥

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I like how you get straight to the point of the video thanks for that

[@andremenard2933]

Best video by far

[@leolavoie1577]

Why this is pure giving. Thanks so many time! :-)

[@thecartinkerer]

Thank you. Just finished my brakes with the help of your vid..

[@DosLobos]

Thanks Dan gave me enough confidence to try this and it all seemed to go ok. Cheers

[@liriel287]

Sir, you just save me A LOT of time and money. Hat off my new friend.

[@kevinkenney5228]

Great instruction. Thanks

[@matrout61]

I see alot of different torque specs below in comments and some very high from the service manual I have on the 2012 - 13 Accent. It has caliper assembly bolt: 36.2 - 43.4 ib-ft; and caliper guide rod bolt 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft.

[@DantheFixitMan]

Yeah, sorry, sometimes I can’t find the correct specs when I make these videos so I just go with what makes the most sense to me and feels right…I think if you’d be fine using the numbers you posted. Best of luck to you! -Dan the Fix it Man

[@matrout61]

@@DantheFixitMan One add. The torques I listed above are for rear. The caliper guide rod bolt has the same torque front & back but the caliper assembly for front is 57.9 - 72.3 ib-ft. I'm doing both front / back tomorrow and your video really helped alot; its a great instructional video so thank you.

[@mayboy2066]

Excellent video. Didn’t know about the brake piston and could have damaged the assembly had I not seen this video.

[@delmarcrihfield8958]

Hey awesome help

[@DosLobos]

Thanks for this. In always thought the brakes had to be bled after changing pads but it seems that is no longer the case. Cheers

[@jiygo]

Wow, nice techniques and good explanations! Thanks! And I was wondering if there's anyway to contact Hyunday rep or mechanic to get those specs for the caliper bracket bolts? I would go a bit higher though, like 75 ftlbs, but it seems to work well for you!

[@mohammedfaraj2802]

thanks alot

[@andrewmaguire1515]

Hey where do you have your jack positioned? Is it just in the middle of the rear axle?

[@brandonpittman5243]

Hi, help! If it screw the piston in it will when turn the piston to line up the notch on the pad it comes out and won't go on?

[@birdybirdnerd]

i assume it would be since theres not too many differences, but i thought id ask before doing anything just in case: does this same process apply for a 2012 accent? i cant seem to find any tutorials for my specific car, this is as close as i could get and it seems like itd be the same but im not 100% sure

[@bryonnaclavette3425]

Do you have to put grease on it? What’s happens if you don’t

[@TheCockyPerry]

No sure I wan to buy brake & pads on Amazon for 134$ Piston tool is very nice touch of you though

[@Pc-zu3cr]

That’s a set screw on the rotor put on at the factory to hold it on while the car goes down the assembly line. It’s not necessary in the brake function at all. Id leave it out.

[@jonahbowers3119]

Lol I twisted mine off accidentally, so ill leave it out too 🤫

[@drisslaaroussi4911]

last portion of viseo you did it really faster than enough

[@gonzalocordero5620]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@866mary2]

Just took the tire off and the Phillips screw is not there. Is that a bad thing?

[@DantheFixitMan]

No, sometimes people take them off and don’t put them back. It’s fine without it.

[@866mary2]

@@DantheFixitMan Awesome! Thanks for the reply!

[@everready19373]

Why do they make the pistons like that? What a total PITA!

[@WHATdaFUNK123]

Looks a lil challenging for a first timer

[@worldgripe]

So I watched the front pad video and then the rear pads videos but didnot watch it till the end 🤦‍♂️ I go and start the work then the caliper doesn't fit lol. I used a grinder wrench to tighten the piston on that caliper.

[@WHATdaFUNK123]

Was the front and back the same ? And you didn’t caliper with the caliper tool?

[@wkroutz]

Rear caliper is threaded needs to be screwed when resetting it all because of the e brake this is on some vehicles not all.

[@worldgripe]

@@WHATdaFUNK123 rear piston needs to be tightened otherwise you wont be able to place the caliper back, I managed to replace the too in this video l with the key that comes with a grinder to tighten the wheel. Great hack !

[@kylewalker1703]

Thank you for this video
