How To Replace Brakes And Rotors On A 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

[@paulg444]

Gold standard of automotive DIY videos !

[@Leftycraig48]

Most instructional video on this topic I have seen. Very thorough and plainly narrated. Thanks for posting. I'm about to commence this project tomorrow.

[@TheHansoost]

Remember to remove master cylinder cap and check fluid level when you push brake piston in to fit new pads. If you don't, the fluid may overflow. Brake fluid is hard on paint. Really thorough video. Thanks.

[@daphnecleveland2567]

great video. the only thing that I might add is backing off the e brake and pushing the piston in the caliper back all the way when its still on the mounting bracket. also using a C clamp to push the piston back also works

[@kenmtb]

my go to tool :)

[@chadolive1]

Thanks so much, I have never seen a brake job before, I am a fast learner, surprised how quick it is, appreciate your time making this I will stay tuned, cheers.

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad it helped

[@klancimcavoy7307]

Hi Jim thanks for the video I am going to attempt this today my first real car job you made it look fairly easy hoping it goes similiar thanks again

[@lijgenus95]

I followed your instructions step by step and changing my brake pads was a success. Thanks for the video and keep them coming because I can’t thank you enough for the money you just saved me. Subscribed.

[@jimthecarguy]

Great I'm happy to help.Thank you for watching.

Good comprehensive video, only one thing I would like to point out. When compressing the pistons in brake calipers, it is best to first remove the cap from the brake master cylinder so it doesn't spray out brake fluid, maybe even use a large syringe to remove excess brake fluid before compressing the caliper pistons so it doesn't spill in your pristine showcar engine bay(lol,jk) I am about to do the brakes on my mom's Tucson, and although I have done the brakes on many Fwd,Rwd, and 4wd vehicles, she is still concerned that I don't know what I am doing, and it is pretty amusing tbh. Thank you for providing this good informational video.

[@kentbremner7828]

in high school our shop teacher taught us to put a light coat of anti seize on the wheel hub. to help in the future making it easier to remove the rotor not having to deal with so much corrosion.

[@northpole9311]

You just made my tomorrow a whole lot easier guy...thanks.

[@jimthecarguy]

Glad I could help

[@riduandunia6591]

I like the way you check and check again. Question: Do you have a compendium of torque specs? Do you get the torque specs on line?

[@richardvaughan7715]

Hi Jim my brother and I just did the brakes and rotors on his 2010 high on Day Santa Fe V6 engine we followed along in your video everything was going great until we started to do the back brakes we jacked up the back of the car and put the jack stands there the E break wasn't gauged then we took off the rear drivers wheel that was fine the road it came off then we went to the other side the rear passenger and we get whacked the router as hard as we could everything seemed fine like it wanted to come off it was loose but it felt like there was some sort of resistance maybe like a spring or something that was holding the router on and where the studs are and the 4 holes on the rotor, showed that it had been broken lose, I am wondering did it not come off due to the parking break being engaged when we jacked up the back of car? Looking in and behind the rotor I could see a spring with a hoop on it connected to a small little hook, and when we would pulled on the rotor that seemed to move? Do you have any idea what it could be or how we could the rotor off? It really felt like if we pried it off it would have damaged some type of spring mechanism

[@richardvaughan7715]

I meant to say the eve break was engaged when we jacked up the back of the vehicle so I was curious could we have locked the road or somehow in doing that is that why the router would not come off

[@kenmtb]

Big thanks for taking your time to make a fantastic instructional video

[@jimthecarguy]

I'm happy to help. Watch for the next free tool giveaway coming soon.

[@MrSteakNuggets]

Need to perform a brake job on my wife's 2008 Veracruz, cant find a video on Veracruz, would this sante fe be the same?

[@6409ff]

Very helpful video Jim, Getting ready to do just this same job on my wifes 07 Santa fe. Rotor on pass. side is shot but am replacing both sides. Also putting new pads on front, rotor's look good on that end. Sure am glad I watched your video first! Very, very helpful! Keep up the good work and thanks again.

[@jimthecarguy]

[@jimthecarguy]

+Mike Connors Thank you for watching and your feedback

[@SteveRobReviews]

Wow them pads were in there, it's a wonder it could stop.

[@jimthecarguy]

+Steve Rob Ya Steve you never know what your going to find.The owner told me "I think my truck is making noise".I could hear it coming down the block.Lol

[@willwiles7507]

Great video, I have a 2011 Santa Fe can't get the front brake caliber holder off I got the top one but bottom bolt rounded off I got the socket to take rounded off bolts out, but the bolt will not turn with a cheater pipe or putting jack under rachet and socket and jacking up on ratchet won't come lose any ideas? Thanks

[@ronnyc8251]

This vid really helped me out yesterday, I just stopped back to finish it. Thank you very much. What was that screw driver tool that spins when hit called, I would like to pick one up to have.

[@jimthecarguy]

It is can an impact driver. I have it in my Amazon store in the description below.

[@ronnyc8251]

@@jimthecarguy thank you Sir

[@mikewaters6339]

Out freaking standing, saved me much eared cash.. thank you sir.

[@wysetech2000]

Very good video again Jim. Keep em coming.

[@jimthecarguy]

+wysetech2000 Thank you I will

[@lylecoates9355]

Do you have to bleed the brakes if you do it that way? Or just when you change the whole caliper

[@vanessarutley1280]

Great Video. Thank you for taking the time.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for stopping by the shop

[@Ron-h4l]

JIM you have any video on how to change the transmission oil and filter on a car.

[@jimthecarguy]

+john1240able Sorry I don't but I will in the future.Thank you for the idea.

[@prakashm1563]

Hi Jim - I am trying to find a suitable pads and rotor assembly for my 2008 Santa Fe. Is there any recommended aftermarket reliable brand on ebay or amazon? Autozone shows about 500$ for the full set whereas ebay has for 150 total... TIA

[@jimthecarguy]

Good question. Check my Amazon store for the parts that I use at the shop. The one I like are made by Wagner or Monroe. Here are some of the tools that jimthecarguy uses www.amazon.com/shop/jimthecarguy

[@simonsimon2446]

Hi Can we see about catalytic for Santa Fe 07

[@lamdafan]

Hi Jim, Do you need to release the emergency brake from the rotor before taking the rotor off ?

[@jimthecarguy]

Yes you need to release the emergence brake first. Very good question.

[@lpuccio]

I was taught to use anti seize in those areas is lube the same thing?

[@jimthecarguy]

No anti seize is different. The lube I use in the video is a synthetic brake grease made just for brakes.Thank you for your input and for watching

[@waderigsbee6923]

wow,ia'm glad I found your videos,thanks

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching I hope I was able to help

[@Ron-h4l]

Jim on GM cars do you know intervals on the transmission oil change

[@jimthecarguy]

+john1240able Hi John On the newer GM cars (2012 Chevy Impala)around 90,000-100,000

Thanks for the video

[@InternetDude]

I just found your channel. I think you would get more subscribers if you would upgrade your equipment (use a lapel mic & shoot in HD).

[@jimthecarguy]

+InternetDude Thank you for your input.I am in the process of get a new camera now with a remote mic.

[@thomasmyers9304]

Great video

[@baljindersinghsidhu3959]

U r amazing 👍🙏thanks

[@captainobvious9233]

Oh god, I loooove how you just pop it of like nothing. Please, do go on and explain why the holy hell mine feels like it is being held by a god damn spring, I can barely wiggle it forward , but it pops right back to here it was before. I beg you, please explain before I give up and set this damn car on fire.

[@jimthecarguy]

You will need to back off on the parking brake shoes because there must be a lot of rust on your rotors. Do you always use your parking brake ?

[@lpuccio]

thank you

[@normansmith7806]

They got there money out of that one set of pads ☺

[@jimthecarguy]

+N Smith Yes that is an under statement.Lol
