Replace Front Brake Pads and Rotors: 2011 KIA Sorento

[@Teaganderry]

Exactly what I needed to replace my daughter's brakes and rotors!

[@michaeldennis9863]

Super useful video. Thank you and well-done.

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

Thanks, I'm glad it helps!

[@BugzKiller]

would this job also apply to a 2007 sorento? Also aren't you suppose to wipe off the brake cleaner with a clean rag?

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

👍

[@obadiah7771]

You shouldn’t have to hammer your brake pads into the bracket. Use a file and file down the rust. And use dab of grease where the clip goes to prevent rust...

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

You could do that. But if that doesnt work, the hammer works too.

What is the size of the lug nut socket?

@@AutomotiveForBeginners Thanks for answering. I'm doing a complete Brake, ax;es and front struts and wanted to get some torque settings. If you can help,I'd appreciate it

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

If you watch my wheel hub video for kia sorento, there are torque specs for that in the description.

Did you remove the shims at all, or you did put them back on?

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

I put them back on. Later I had to cut a piece of the shims off to fit against my rotor. Then you wont hear any grinding.

[@eugeniorico-chavez1006]

Is it safe to drive without them

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

@@eugeniorico-chavez1006 It is, but you might hear some clicking every time you drive over bumps. That's because the shims make sure the pads have nowhere to move up or down when hitting bumps. So if this happens, try to put the shims back on and make cuts to the shim if you have to. For now it is still safe, but you may hear clicking.

[@eugeniorico-chavez1006]

Thank you, keep making videos, you do a great job, does lil things make a big difference 👍 hopefully you have the time to make more videos like this 👍

[@AutomotiveForBeginners]

@@eugeniorico-chavez1006 Thanks man. If I can help with these types of things I am still happy. My payback to crooked mechanics for many years. 😄
