How to change front brakes 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata | front brake replacement

In this video I show how to replace the front brake pads on your car. The car I use to demonstrate is a 2016 Hyundai Sonata but this will work for any car. I also give a few tips on metal on metal contact points that should be lubricated.

Thanks for the video, after watching this video I was able to change my own brakes and saved me a bunch of money.

Thank you for your video. Saved me a bunch of money and headaches :)

[@joehyundaitech7961]

always change the hardware and dont ever let the caliper hang by the brake hose even if it is a light caliper

[@terrycombs316]

Great vid never knew about greasing the slides thanks for the share

[@SuperRasean]

You don't grease the slides you use silicon paste grease degrades the rubber boot, mixes with the factory silicone, and rusts the slide pin causing it seize. Do not use grease or anti seize

Excellent work and video Mobile Mechanic keep up the great job

[@skrttboy9146]

Amazing video, amazing teaching thanks boss

[@ozzstars_cars]

So that's how it's done! Might even give it a try myself. Nice job with the video bud! -Glen

[@thehatefull1761]

Some people refer to them as slide pins but whatever I have to order them they're always called guide pins or brake caliper guide pins

[@thehatefull1761]

The metal pieces that sit on top and the bottom of the caliber that the brake pads write-in are usually called brake caliper clips

[@hunglo666]

awesome video, it helped me reference back to help with my 2016 elentra.. now when it comes to the back youll need a specific tool that i rented for free from Auto Zone

[@biddy98gst]

Ah yes they have the spin in rear calipers. At work we have a fancy tool to press them in at home I use needle nose pliers open them up and put the tip in the slots on the piston and spin them in while pushing down

[@Peponlikespeson3684]

Really like the way you showed on camera the process and explained your way of changing brake pads.

[@SuperGUY12362]

You really saved me some money, do do doooooo

[@ureasmith3049]

It's important to change the hardware clips. Also to clean the groove the clips sit in. And that anti-sieze glopped on like that causes problems. A magnet for dirt.

[@TweezyF84]

Good work... Id only suggest opening the brake fluid reservoir cap (if you didn't) before you C-clamp the calipers. Sometimes the master cylinder will take a hit from the pressure.

[@GammaRage]

Is that really bad

[@Peponlikespeson3684]

@@GammaRage just think about it’s name Master cylinder. Mess that up and will end up dealing with allot of brake fluid 😅

[@stevenkirk5975]

Almost all brake master cylinders have a relief method in the caps for that, done thousands of brake jobs, never once taken the cap off. Niether has any of the other master technicians i know

[@thepride144k]

Great video! What was the name of the grease was that you were using ?

[@thehatefull1761]

Sometimes the guide pins gets stuck and you can't get them out if that's the case you would have to buy a new caliper bracket with a guide pin kit

[@georgehuffman3942]

Great work wasp hunter congrats on the new venture

[@reyder7661]

Thank you!

[@calvinpaul3045]

Are you using a 1/2 drive socket wrench?

[@freedomfighter9832]

Use ONLY silicone based grease on the sliders my friend. The anti seize is petroleum based and will eventually dry out and cause them to stick rather than slide

[@oshane8433]

Thank you

[@markc2157]

Does it matter where you place the wear indicator from the inside? Does the indicator have to be on the top inside or bottom inside?

[@biddy98gst]

I normally put them at the bottom inside. I don’t think it matters either way at all but it’s easier to see them on the bottom

[@mattlonproctor7221]

I have a 2017 Hyundai sonata! And those pass you're putting on looks to be very expensive and you tell me where did you get them from and how can I get some of that quality?

[@biddy98gst]

I order everything off rock auto I really like power stop brakes and rotors they are just much higher quality imo

[@thehatefull1761]

There's a little confusion between what to grease the part that he's greasing is actually called a guide pin these slides would be the little metal brackets that go in the caliber bracket that the back brake pads rest in you don't want to grease the slides you want to grease the guide pins

[@user-gq5on2zw4l]

i see what your talking about the little metal plates the pin are cylinder shaped and not flat like brackets

[@ferndogg4427]

I gotta do this but also gonna replaced the rotor, do u gotta take off the fluid cap off?

[@biddy98gst]

You can, typically you should never have to add or remove brake fluid unless bleeding or doing a flush it’s a sealed system so low fluid means low pads when they are replaced it will be full again

[@Stealthpestco]

Make sure you pump your brakes before driving around the block… I just backed into my neighbors work truck.

[@badxkitty16]

What’s the best brakes to buy for Hyundai Sonata se 2016 80k miles I bought bestbrakes brand ?

[@biddy98gst]

I’ve been using power stop brakes and rotors from rockauto that last few years they are amazing quality. They require a break in where to accelerate and brake hard a certain amount of times after install to fully seat the pads. Love their product

[@badxkitty16]

@@biddy98gst thank you appreciate it !

[@Heavy69Metal]

Are the pads and discs the same for front and rear?

[@treavormiller9552]

No

[@mbnnate2274]

What size socket is used to take the wheel off?

[@biddy98gst]

21mm

[@thehatefull1761]

If you grease the slides brake dust is going to stick to the grease and it won't be smooth enough for the pads to move in them

[@garybeck9444]

I use the green brake grease but every month I have to clean my sticking pins. What kind of grease should I be using ?

[@thehatefull1761]

@@garybeck9444high temp silicone grease

[@kaseypharr5433]

What kind of break pads are those what kind of lubricant

[@biddy98gst]

My friend bought the pads I believe they were bendex or something like that. I use anti seize lube I prefer the grey kind but black or green work fine also. For all my personal cars I order power stop pads and rotors from rock auto super high quality and you get drilled and slotted rotors for less then your part store cheap brand ones

[@melodicmynd4264]

does this apply to hybrids also?

[@biddy98gst]

Yep brakes are pretty much the same no matter what car your working on

[@melodicmynd4264]

@@biddy98gst So regular sonatas have regenerative braking? Bc my hybrid does

[@thehatefull1761]

These slides are actually a type of metal with coating that resists brake dust so you don't want to grease those

[@420banshee7]

Actually yes you should use antisieze like he did or brake caliper grease which is the green stuff he's talking about and if you live on or drive a lot of dirt roads then the green grease will gum up and you should use the silver antisieze or they will 100% rust and freeze up solid and they won't work correctly

[@johnnytsunami7451]

@@420banshee7 thanks! That’s the only thing he didn’t go over didn’t know which grease to buy

[@thehatefull1761]

@@420banshee7 isn't that kind of contradictory to what you're saying then and kind of verifies what I said that you don't want to use grease on there because they already have a coating that will resist a brake dust I'm a little bit confused because you're saying yes you're supposed to use degrees but then you're saying no because it will seize up and those clips already have a demagnetized coating on them to resist brake dust and dirt so why would you add anything to them that's going to be like glue and stick every piece of dirt and dust to it creating basically sandpaper glue but I guess to each his own

Always tie up your caliper never leave it hanging like that

[@biddy98gst]

You know I’ve been doing brakes over 20 years never had a brake line break or get damaged from letting them hang. I always see people freaking out over this I work at a shop and do multiple brake jobs a day also. There is a difference between letting them hang and letting them fall and yank the line.

[@oshane8433]

Wats the name of the grease u used?

[@thehatefull1761]

Always use the high temp red Grease

[@thehatefull1761]

Make sure it's high temp because you don't want the heat from the brakes to melt the grease and then the grease run into your pads

[@thehatefull1761]

Remember the only part you're going to put some grease on will be the guide pins do not Grease the slides and do not Grease the pads

[@oshane8433]

@@thehatefull1761 ok

[@420banshee7]

He used the silver antisieze which works great for this stuff as well as wheel studs and many other things that you want to somewhat easily get back apart at a later time instead of rusting up solid

[@thehatefull1761]

And then of course you have the retainer Springs or clips some vehicles have these some don't

[@jwesboy]

DO NOT!!!!!! Use a petroleum based "grease" on your slide/glide pins!!!! It will compromise and eat-away at the nitrile rubber "boot pin covers." Use ONLY a "silicon" based product!!!!!

How to do your brakes the wrong way and save 10 minutes by WH Padslap

[@biddy98gst]

There was nothing wrong with the rotors man 🤷🏼‍♀️ if there isn’t uneven pad wear and they are not warped and still thick enough they don’t need to be replaced. I get it I work at a shop for a living and we try and pressure everyone into buying rotors every brake change but it’s not needed. The top hat of every rotor will tell you the minimum thickness it can still be used at if you ever question if they are still useable

[@victormontiel5233]

At 3:56 I know y’all heard him drop the hard R

[@onepiecefound6115]

He put his screw driver in between the rotor veins and acted like he pushed the pistons back smh

[@biddy98gst]

It’s to pry a slight gap between the pads and rotor. I’m not compressing the piston all the way in just like 1mm to make the caliper come off easier. I’m taking it you have never removed brakes with a frozen caliper slide before

[@stanjames7212]

Use lock tight on the bolts

[@noheader]

15 dollars for rotors at the junk yard maybe........is he buying stolen parts?

[@devvinbrown7172]

You should never really replace pads without rotors as the old rotor will chew up the new pad visa versa…. Just saying.. also… to release the caliber easier just open the bleed thencompress it and then just top the reservoir off :/

[@mikezupancic2182]

OMG so much wrong with this video. Literally the only thing one should follow on this video is how to take off the tire.
