How to replace front Brakes | 2018 Hyundai Kona

[@GaëlWKDiessongo]

Thanks for this amazing video ! The tools like KZbin we have nowadays are just wonderful when used properly ! Because of your desire to share and help others, I complete my service for the front brakes today. Wish you good things men !

I have to agree, this was a great video and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for putting this together and including the links. One question, why not upgrade to a set of cross-drilled rotors? Would they not perform better? What made you choose the kit you included in the links above? Just curious.

Thank you so much for covering this! I feel like every time I bring my car in I have to make sure the dealer is doing what they say they are doing, every time I drive off the lot, I have to go right back again because the issue wasn't resolved....and I try to do whatever I can on my own. Where are you located? I wish you could be my mechanic.

Perfect job. I just wonder if it is necessary to open the brake fluid cap in the engine compartment before pressing the piston? I have seen in several videos that they do this.

[@CripplelovesWolly]

i've seen 50/50 on youtube. it largely depends on how much fluid is in your reservoir to begin with, and how far in the piston needs to be pushed which depends on how thin the old pads were. if the old pads still had enough thickness to them and your brake fluid reservoir wasn't at or near MAX then you wouldn't need to open up the reservoir. the reservations people have about opening up the reservoir cap is that you have the potential for debris, moisture, and air to be introduced in there. It is good practice to open it though, as long as the opening remains covered with something to prevent anything going in.

@@CripplelovesWolly It can't hurt to remove it, only if you forget to put it back.

Thank you. I know this isn't the most exciting content, but I post these repair videos in hope that it will help someone who can't afford to hire a mechanic. Cheers

Wouldn't that ceramic paste destroy the rubber of brake pins? I use a silicone paste for the slide pins

[@antagonizerr]

No grease on brake slides. Grease absorbs dirt...dirt buildup locks up pads. That's brakes 101. A little on the piston is good tho.

[@jaimemacias2139]

I followed your rotors/pads link and it says they aren’t a fit even though I have the same Kona

[@yavz7565]

Not good to grease the end of a slide pin, grease doesn’t compress so the slide pin won’t fully bottom out in the hole. This can cause uneven brake wear. Only grease the sides. All else was good tho

[@OldSoulMillennial]

I understand your point, but I don't agree with you. The slide pin sits in that rubber boot. With some pressure, grease will push itself from the end of the pin to the sides. In my mind, this is a slow release grease mechanism.

[@LORDRA1DEN]

I don't know why I never thought of putting the pads on after the bracket is on. As for the C-clamp thing most people use the old brake pad to push in the piston.

Very helpful video, but you are pronouncing Hyundai wrong. Hyundai rhymes with Sunday.

[@CripplelovesWolly]

It can be pronounced both ways depending on the accent of the speaker. Same goes for those in Korea, they can pronounce it both ways since they have different Korean accents within their country, as well.
