How to change the Brake Pads and Rotors on a 2020 Hyundai Palisade

[@wongkid]

Its common practice to always change pads and rotors at same time or resurface the rotors. Never just pad slap, pads and rotors need to bed together for proper wear. Just take a nice size ballpeen hammer and hit the face of the rotor and itll come off. The most common premature wear of new brake pads is because no one services the caliper slide pins when changing the brakes. On those electronic calipers, in the professional world, if we cant access service mode, we just use a 12v source and jump the caliper to retract the piston

[@CoderMan]

Thats good to know! Goes to show a real pro knowing vs chatting with dealer/others. I ended up greasing all the pins and the dealer did too (during bleeding) but I should have included that more clearly. I did try a ball peen hammer and it still didn't break free. Maybe I should have used even more force? Awesome advice on the 12v idea, that is why you're the pro and I tinker. Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for sharing!!

[@wongkid]

@@CoderMan also the pinch weld is the jack point inbetween the 2 notches

[@wongkid]

@@CoderMan other jack points can be the control arms, subframes or frame rails on unibody cars for floor jacks. If the car is going on a lift its either getting picked up via the pinch welds or frame rails. Ladder frame cars get picked up via the ladder frame

[@PaulPayne-om5zv]

What is your procedure for bedding the pads and rotors together? I have seen a lot of different methods. Thanks

[@Way2EasyDIY]

BS. Rotors can far outlast pads.

[@gogirousa]

I never had electronic parking brakes before. I even asked a friend who is a mechanic and he never dealt with them either. I am very glad I came across your video. I could have easily broken the PB drive motor casing trying to force the piston back with the giant c-clamp usually use. Sooooo much easier with a 5MM allen wrench! Thanks very much!

[@CoderMan]

Happy to help and yah i'm glad I didn't just use a brake piston clamp! I did kinda start to before I noticed the module on the backside.

[@bartdonaldson432]

Great DIY video. Appreciate the heads-up on the emergency brake motor. Thanks for posting.

[@CoderMan]

Happy to help. Glad to see so many finding usefulness in this video and saving some money doing the brake work.

[@restinpiecesrc5528]

Just remember if you try the Allen wrench method, you turn it clockwise to retract the piston

[@CoderMan]

Yup!

[@jobbersfootball42]

I was stumped on how to compress the brake cylinder. Thank you so much for the tip on the Allen key trick!

[@CoderMan]

Happy to help!

[@johter-e6z]

Great video, just changed rear pads on my Santa Fe it's exactly the same. Thank you.

[@CoderMan]

Glad it helped

[@sethilae8193]

Thank you for that backing out the emergency brake tip very helpful

[@CoderMan]

Glad it was helpful! Definitely helped the install process!

[@jamieoakley2953]

Great video thanks for posting! You can back out the epb with a 12v source and a couple alligator clips connected to the spade terminals at the epb connector. Just switch the polarity if the epb turns the wrong way. New cars are getting way too complicated!

[@CoderMan]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing! Agreed these new cars are getting too complicated.

[@jaybee6280]

Can confirm this all works. Thanks for posting this video and helping me!

[@CoderMan]

Thank you for confirming.. and glad it helped you!

[@gregcarps5225]

Great video. Would only add that rotor can be removed by striking it at the 9 and 3 o'clock position alternately with a 10 pound sledge. Knocks it loose pretty quick.

[@CoderMan]

Interesting enough I tried this, though not sure if I used a 10lb. I'll keep that in mind. Rust is like glue in this area!

[@robp.1480]

When compressing the piston DO NOT open the bleed valve to relieve pressure. It is a closed system so to relieve pressure just open the cap on the brake reservoir under the hood.

[@CoderMan]

Thank you for letting me know. I wasn't aware of that.

[@BBBILLY86]

Wifes 2020 needs back at 37,000. Qouted $800. Thanks for the e-brake info.

[@CoderMan]

37k for its weight sounds about right, the price seems high!

[@elantra45]

Those screws on the rotor are only to keep the rotors on while going down the assembly line. I don't use them as they are a pain for the next rotor change. Also if you're not using coated rotors apply a bit of grease to the hub face. Will prevent the rotor from rusting to the hub face.

[@CoderMan]

You can remove them, but could also use anti-seize to allow easier maintenance in the future.

[@205carreviews8]

This was very helpful thank you brother 👍🏻

[@CoderMan]

Happy to help!

[@SethLT]

I just did this. It was kind of a pain in the ass. It was also my first experience with an electronic brake motor. I'm glad you showed that because I was wondering why I couldn't get the piston back...jeez

[@CoderMan]

Glad it helped! Yah that electronic brake confused the hell out of me. Thankful for smarter friends and forums. Wish I hadn't messed up one side forcing a brake flush, but definitely learned something.

[@ethanstum7798]

@@CoderMan do you need to reset the brake motor after manually pulling it back?

[@CoderMan]

@ethanstum7798 Once you install the caliper the vehicle will engage the brake (with the switch in the vehicle). You can also counter turn the Allen screw to extend it a bit.

[@ethanstum7798]

@@CoderMan thank you!

[@jayschamberg1478]

You said counterclockwise on the brake caliper, it’s CLOCKWISE. That took a couple hours out of my day 😂. Other than that, great video, pulley puller is an awesome idea. Thanks!

[@CoderMan]

Wait? Really.. Its like it can be variable depending on installation. Some mandela effect going on here lol

[@MuddyDirt]

Kudos! This video really helped and saved a lot of money for me! Thank you

[@CoderMan]

Glad it helped!

[@yb6252]

This may be in a comment above, but use the Allan wrench to retract the e-brake before you push the caliper piston back.

[@CoderMan]

For the removal or install? For the latter I did, as you'll see in the video.

[@kwonn2x464]

Great Vid ❗️How did you get the rear calipers to come off ? I already unscrewed the two big bolts but this thing still won’t come off the rotor

[@CoderMan]

Most likely surface rusted. Try to work it with a nylon tool and gloves, once you're certain it's not held with any hardware.

[@kwonn2x464]

@@CoderMan Will do thank you

[@carolyngaulin8297]

It nice you're saving money ! Like me I beg my brothers for HELP

[@elantra45]

I'm about to change the rear pads and rotors on my 2021 Calligraphy. The original factory pads badly groved the rotors (deep grooves) and one pad is wearing more than the other. I suspect the caliper slide pins were never lubricated from the factory

[@CoderMan]

Thats strange that it would groove that bad.

[@Lethal_Venom]

North east rust sucks!!! Nice job!

[@CoderMan]

Right?! You'd think with that amount of rust the SUV was 10 years old.

[@Lethal_Venom]

@@CoderMan lol I believe it

[@wootangclan32]

Where did you purchase the replacement parts from?

[@CoderMan]

I got them from my local dealership, however I would Google a few online OEM suppliers. I was able to get a much better price for an air filter, online.

[@jamessankey01]

do you have to spin the epb back in a bit after backing it out? Thanks for the video!

[@CoderMan]

I don't remember off hand, but it should just fit back in. However if you spun out further is possible it needs to be re-seated.

[@taubqaub]

At 2:51, where did you place your [blue] jack stand under? I see your [green] floor jack located under the normal jack point but was curious as to the location of the jack stand. Was there a metal beam or something there (after removing the dark grey cover panel)?

[@CoderMan]

It's the jack point aft of the forward one. You can also use the pinch weld, with the proper jack pad.

[@jeremiahwallace9318]

How did you remove the black plug I’ve been pulling on it it won’t come off

[@CoderMan]

The bleeder cap? Just some pulling, its not affixed with anything, probably just road grime.

[@PaulPayne-om5zv]

Did you have to back the E-brake motor Counter Clockwise with the allen wrench? You said you guess but never said anything afterwards. Thanks

[@CoderMan]

You're correct, I should have highlighted that. It is counter-clockwise to depress it.

[@Japearce]

Hey any chance you can share where you got your new rotors and pads from? I usually google Hyundai OEM parts but for brakes I would want to go with a recommended site. Thanks!

[@CoderMan]

I actually got these direct from our local dealers parts department. You can also order online but shipping would end up costing more, in my case.

[@danweiss3439]

Do you happen to know the torque specs on the rear caliber bolts and bracket bolts?

[@CoderMan]

I don't offhand but am sure the service manual will have it listed.

[@Metanoia46]

Question, did your auto off feature get messed up in the process of this? I changed my brake pads today and after I finished all four wheels, my auto off feature stopped working when I came to a stop at a red light. Any ideas?

[@CoderMan]

I haven't seen that happen. Only possible thing I could think of is the parking brake plug is loose? Otherwise did you clear any codes or anything?

[@vitelioorantes2906]

Did you figure out why your EPB stopped working? My cousin who is a mechanic said if you just disconnect the EPB without running it through a scanner you can damage the system and then it could cost over 1K to fix. I want to change my own brakes but don't have a scanner.

[@SuarezEric]

Followed all the steps up until turning the Allen screw counter clock wise. I can’t get the brake cylinder to retract for the life of me

[@CoderMan]

Does the screw turn at all? Its possible its stuck.

[@jayschamberg1478]

Turn full clockwise. I had to use a vice to compress after that

[@historicalinfo.8990]

How do you remove the parking brake sensor on the rear brakes. Has a clip but not sure how to unhook it.

[@CoderMan]

I don't remember off hand, but it's usually a retention type clip you depress the plastic inner piece and pull it off. However some have backup connection points. I wish I could go look but the car 1) isn't here and 2) has wheels on it.

[@jayschamberg1478]

Shake the connector while using a flat tip screwdriver to pop the tab up, it’ll pull the tab away from the little plastic detent on the housing. Be careful, that harness is expensive

[@praetorianx2007]

Getting a EPB on my dash after changing breaks how do I reset this?

[@CoderMan]

That can be a few things. Make sure you plugged the EPB connector fully in. Does it actuate on the brake pad at all? You might also need to toggle the EPB (if it's installed properly) to reset its travel.

[@vitelioorantes2906]

Did you figure out why your EPB was on? My cousin who is a mechanic said if you just disconnect the EPB without running it through a scanner you can damage the system and then it could cost over 1K to fix. I want to change my own brakes but don't have a scanner.

[@69inspectorman]

Do you need to do anything with the epb for front pads and rotors?

[@CoderMan]

Great question, no EPB on the front brakes. Only on the rear.

[@DesertRider760]

The process is the same for the rear correct?

[@CoderMan]

This is the rear brakes. Front doesn't have the parking brake so it's much easier.

[@DesertRider760]

@@CoderMan Video couldn't have come at a better time! My Palisade is at LA Quinta Hyundai in California. $980 for the rear brakes, and only 1 rotor! My driver rear rotor is toast. Doing the job myself for a fraction of the cost!

[@dragon062792]

After changing all my pads now my brakes are soft and squishy did I do something wrong on the rear brakes?

[@CoderMan]

That is a tough one.. If you have a soft pedal it's possibly because you introduced air in the brake system or installed something incorrectly. You could bleed the brakes but if you aren't comfortable doing so I would have a mechanic look it over. If it's unsafe to drive have them come to you or have the vehicle towed. However if it's right after install, pump the brakes a couple times (while stationary) and see if pressure builds up.

[@jayschamberg1478]

Bleed from back right to back left to front right to front left. She’ll tighten back up
