Had to replace the rotors and pads on my daughter's Hyundai. This step by step tutorial was just what I needed to be able to do the job correctly. Took me a little longer to do the job since I had to do it in my driveway and not on a lift. That being said, the brakes were repaired correctly and they operate flawlessly. Great video!

[@wyattoneable]

I like the way you lay out the tools that are needed for the job. It sure makes it easy to be ready or to buy the tools before you start the job.

[@jimthecarguy]

I try to save a step if I can.

[@G30RG13N]

You explained i step by step, Great video, very professional. Thank you.

[@jesusfloresmedia7112]

What size thread is the screw for the rotor? What if its stripped out? Can a replacement on be bought?

[@josephteolis2808]

Jim the car guy really rocks. I was trained as a mechanic 55 years ago in RI by my dad, but had a career as an engineer. Getting a refresher from Jim was like being with my dad again. Jim tells you what you need to know and how to do it right. 5 stars to you Jim and thanks. PS don't forget to buy your parts through his store front, the same price as the discount auto parts stores.

[@Ygggdrasill]

The small screws that hold the disc don’t have to be tightened like that, they hold the disc just before the wheel is tightened on it.

[@edwardfrancis2123]

Thanks so much,awesome to see wick'd experienced hands and tricks oF the trade. Much appreciated Sir. Saved me couple hundred $ & half day labor Jim. The best clearest instructions I Eva received. Thankful for your time ,tips and expertise...

[@joesmith6524]

dont need those screws trash them,only used to hold the rotor at the assembly line!!

[@dirtydish6642]

This comment gave me the encouragement to grab the drill and just keep the job moving forward.

[@rithlim6016]

Great video! I was a bit worried but you made it seem so easy. Just one question, will these steps work on a 2013 Hyunda Santa Fe Limited as well? Also, what are the torque specs? Thank you in advance!

[@markhanson3208]

Could you please tell me the torque specs for the 14mm rotor and caliper bolts for a 2010 Santa Fe. Thanks in advance and thank you for a well put together video as well. It's very much appreciated. Cheers!

[@AmpleLight]

absolutely cannot change the rotors on a 2013 hyundai santa fe this way. one of the rotor bolts is mounted between the suspension bar linkage and you just cannot remove it with the finesse and ease like this video shows. Its a giant pain in the ass. Literally cannot fit a socket between the yolk/fork mount.

[@lahengsiri4686]

Very clear, thorough an helpfull explanations. Thank you very much.

[@Leomanevich]

Hello, thanks for detailed instructions. What are the torque specs for the bolts?

[@DesignBuildFixReview]

Any idea what a good brand of rotor is. The prices are all over the place I don't want to underpay and get a brand that is no good

[@jordancarr123jc]

I did all of this step for step, but now I have loud vibration/wobble…. Any ideas?

[@eclipser2004]

Is there a star wheel to turn to retract the parking brake pads from the rotor?

[@guitarman_3693]

no anti-sieze on the phillips head screws ? you didnt check the parking brake adjuster to make sure it wasnt siezed up ? nice shade-tree corner cutting...

[@andrewlozanski8021]

Very Well done video, made the job easy. I don't know if I missed something. But after all installed and back together, quite a scraping sound coming from one of the brakes. I checked and didn't install the pads on backwards, but scraping sound at low speeds. Brakes work good. Checked the rotors to touch. Both of course were warm, but one is super hot, much hotter than the other rotor. Do you think my caliper isn't moving? Andy

[@jimthecarguy]

Did you replace the brake hardware?When you install the new pads do they slide very easy?

[@231jackdaniels]

I'm having the same problem. About to go back to it and see if the caliper is too rusted or not moving properly it's causing a ring on my new rotor

[@DIY-hazlotumismo-tips]

Thank you you saved me 150 dollars

[@dxbfk]

Beautifully explained.

[@denisst-cyr3558]

Hi Jim...I see that U did not put grease where the pads sit in their respective hardware / bracket ?? .... why is that ?? You only grease where the clips sit in their respective bracket Please comment Thks Denis here,,,from Montreal Canada

Hello, I have a Santa fe 2015, i have problem of brake system when i push the button it turn on but it doesn't release the brake when i push it again, can you send me the schema of braking system and tell me what do you think about this problem? Cordially

[@tonylatimer1308]

Thanks from Leeds England, Jim. Really appreciated your clear video and concise explanations.

[@ranjit3o]

Thank you soo much for your Help. We just changed our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Both rear Rotors and Brakes successfully. You are one of the Mechanic whose not worried about job security & wants to share Knowledge, not hide to rip off people. Thanks and God Bless you.

[@Hidbgod]

I have a '12 Sante Fe. My problem was the rust ring inside the drum was so bad I couldn't get the drum/rotor off and there's no jacking bolt holes. Copious banging and prying got me out about a cm, along with pretty much destroying my dust cover, although it was almost at the point of disintegrating anyways. No amount of pulling and turning or banging got me any farther. At that point I got in behind and picked away at the rust with a small screwdriver, enough to get it off. I got it all back together so it's serviceable but now I have to get a new dust cover.

[@robertsherrick4081]

When you purchase new pads make sure you also get the hardware. Sometimes you must buy them desperately. Sometimes the hardware is removed from the box so make sure you check. sometimes you can reuse them but not a good idea.

[@HibinoKafka0210]

I love your videos. Thank you!

[@jimb4978]

Do you have a video on park brake adjustment through rotor access hole that shows direction to turn to increase & decrease park brake lining clearance on the 2008 santa fe?

[@dcb805]

Great tutorial,watching this video makes me so happy I live in the Deep South,no rust issues like this

[@reaperasylum2163]

The screws in the rotor are a completely unnecessary item that does the exact same thing as lug nuts and the wheel and I never put those back in because when they break it's a bitch to drill them out

[@OKAZWA44]

hey thanks, great! detail...i have this model getting some squeaky sounds is that a sign my brakes need looking at? Also can you do a video about Camber caster, and toe and what and how things should be aligned in this model, also if you could provide any specs from the four-wheel aligner that would be great!...i have the dealer telling me i need a camber kit on one side of the front and it never needed it before...and the vehicle feels like it has a lean on the drivers side and handle differently if you could shed some light on what might be this would provide some light in the tunnel for me please and thanks...

Hi Jim Thanks for the video man... it really waz helpful. Can you give me the torque sepc for 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Thanks in advance

[@captainobvious9233]

I spent nearly 3 hours trying to get the rotor off, I pull pull it maybe 1/4th an inch but it would snap back into place as if a magic force was pulling it back. It spun, so I don't think it had anything to do with the e-brakes (they were not engaged anyhow) Any suggestions??

[@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 ?

[@carriegolden9571]

Great video and very informative! As usual.. could you please provide me the torque specs for a 2014 santa fe sport 2.0t? Thank you!

Do you have any videos on that? Once again, one of the best videos I've seen to tackle the job myself. Thanx in advance for your response.

Hi Jim, an excellent video, I am in the UK, I have a Hyundia Tuscon 2006, there is no service manual for it, would everything you've done on the Santa Fe be the same for a Tuscon

[@grantdavis1928]

Colin Churcher pretty much they're the same car just the Santa Fe is bigger and heavier

[@gexgeko6520]

Great instructional video and Thank you. My question is. Is there a torque value that should be applied or just give them bolts a good reef? Thanks.

Another job well done, Jim. Can't thank you enough for the pry bar tip at the beginning of the job to recess the piston. Amazing how much time that saves putting it back together since I've started doing that.

[@vincelfs]

great video... do you need to bleed the brake when resetting the piston?

[@jimthecarguy]

No need to as long as you don't open the bleeder or the lines.

[@brian_youtube]

My only complaint is most people do videos when all works well. When you removed the rotor, you mention you have a tool to remove the rotor, but would try to just use a hammer first. While I believe that is what half the people want to see, but the other half already know that are are looking for ways when the hammer tap it off fails to work. Videos where problems are shown are very useful and is why I watch videos like this on doing simple jobs. Seeing what others do when they encounter problems is good learning.

Hi Jim, great videos. Question. How do you know you need to replace rotors if they are all smooth and not wobbling when braking? Should they always be replaced like the dealer will tell you?

[@thebayjay]

I need to replace mine because instead of being smooth they are all jagged, it’s possible they were loose or warped before and now they’re completely unusable. It’s also possible a rock got caught in there and made it uneven?
