Hyundai i30 Brake Binding Issue

[@gardaloops4190]

Another one knocking out the arm fixing bolt... This is NOT necessary, the caliper bolt head is accessible with offset box wrench properly inserted. It allows ca 15° turn and after °repeating that turn 10x you can usually continue with fingers... I had to find myself during my repetitive brake maintenance, because EVERYBODY seems to present this painful technique as the only way how to loose the caliper free. Of course, it requires clean thread and bolt properly torqued after previous maintenance.

Are they the correct pads as the one that came out had the pips the other way? Great vid , Thanks.

Hey, thanks for posting the video. It helped me fix my rear brake on one side since the mechanic hasn't inserted the piston pin to the brake pad, and it wasn't breaking correctly, and I didn't pass the technical check. After seeing your video, I was able to fix it myself🙂 I have got another issue 2 years later. My rear hand brake gets stuck for some reason, and of course, it also makes noise when I drive... the slower I go, the sound slows its frequency. Do you have any idea what it could be? It seems that it has something to do with cold weather, but I am no mechanic. Could it be just that some parts don't move due to them losing the grease on some part of the connection between the handbrake lever and brake itself?

I have driven Hyundai for last 10 years and bought the i30 brand new and after that Hyundai Ioniq hybrid brand new. Both have had a lot of issues with brakes (especially rear brakes). The brakes get very easily stuck and start binding and making noise even when almost brand new. You have to do extra maintenance for the brakes every year if you want to avoid expensive issues with Hyundai brakes. I will switch to another brand due to this reason.

I have a cranked ring spanner which let's me undo that lower bolt for the pad carrier without having to split that suspension joint. I have had problems getting the right pads, some of the ones offered at a local motor factors didn't have the pip on the back to engage with the slot in the caliper piston, which is essential to stop it rotating. Don't rely on the shop telling you 'they're definitely the right ones for your car mate' The genuine Hyundai pads had it, and so did the Pagid pads I bought. These also came with replacement shims, some brands don't include them.

I just did my daughters rear brakes on her aussie i30 2014 , I had to set the caliper piston with the indent at the bottom with the rewind tool so the dimple on the brake pad engaged into it . I believe it holds the pad dimple holds the caliper piston so it cannot rotate. I had to use a birescope camera to see that it engaged correctly it's abit of a pain once it's in correctly you can feel the pad doesn't move so freely.
