New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS02754
This video shows you how to install rear brake pads and rotors on your 2011-2016 Hyundai Elantra. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2011 Hyundai Elantra
2012 Hyundai Elantra
2013 Hyundai Elantra
2014 Hyundai Elantra
2015 Hyundai Elantra
2016 Hyundai Elantra

Most thorough brake job cleaning I’ve ever seen. If I thought my mechanic was actually doing all this I might be more willing to pay for the work to be done.

[@hungryowl1559]

Ive been watching alot of videos on brakes lately. Will be doing my first brake job soon. Have to change the rear rotors, calipers, and pads. Ive bought all the tools and parts. Think i need a couple odds and ends, but the major stuff is all purchased. Im a bit nervous about doing it but its the only way to learn. I have a 2012 elantra. Thanks for the video

[@romans7842]

Yes I have a 2012 elantra and you really need that special tool to close the cylinder in your caliper .....wish I knew that before.

[@davidholland5619]

I remember years ago the first time I ran into rear brakes like these I almost had a hernia cranking down on my c clamp wondering why the rear calipers wouldn't budge lol live and learn almost bent the extra large clamp too

[@justinrivera2072]

Pro tip grease on the bridge protects against rust but builds up dirt and debri thus will cause a stuck pads just like rust always dry fit your pads learnes this at my audi dealership and never delt with stuck pads when i was at a small corporate shop stuck pads was common with dirt build up from greasing the bridge

[@GuitarGuy650]

Fun fact, when you put the rotor back on, you can forget about the 2 little screws. They are there from the factory as part of the manufacturing process, but after that serve no real purpose. You will thank yourself the next time you do your brakes

[@zivojinbudimirovic1061]

Thank you for info, need to replace rear brakes soon.

[@Kennedy1op]

That beeping torque wrench is awesome

[@jimprovencher6031]

Thanks for detail. Of all the videos I watched nobody tells u the torque specs on anything. Thx. Do u happen to know torque spec on the spark plugs? Thx

[@bradhodges3335]

great video

[@maxamillion4223]

Good vid

[@Guitar157]

Awsome job 👍 but do they really clean them that good haha

[@cheerbeerification]

Torque spec for the guide bolt is max 23ft-lb, 50 is way too much. Really should edit the video and at least have some text overlay to correct this mistake. Otherwise great video.

[@MarkWatsonY]

Should I really use red loctite? I don’t have an impact wrench for changing them again later…

[@HoboJoeGarage]

A dab of anti-seize or blue Loctite would be sufficient. Red Loctite is going to be a pain for the next guy to remove

[@Thekid985]

After I did my brakes the parking brake light came on and won't turn off the fluid is full so I don't know what else it could be

[@zainikhalid2142]

Tq sir..I cant open the break ..tq so much..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@place_desjardins]

You can rent a tool for free from an auto parts store to spin the brake piston back down.

I call floccinaucinihilipilification.
