How To Change Hyundai Brake Pads

The brake pads on your brakes are an essential safety feature that aids in stopping the Hyundai in emergency situations. As time passes, you may find that they aren't as effective at slowing or stopping your car as they once were. For the most part, that indicates worn brake pads need to be replaced. It's possible to perform this service on your own, with the correct equipment, even if the specifics of the maintenance required differ according to the vehicle's model. Read on how to change your Hyundai brake pads.

Unscrew the Wheel Bolts and Park the Car

• With your tire iron, loosen the lug nuts on the correct tire. You need to do this before you jack up the car.
• Put the floor jack under your vehicle so it won't cause any damage. If you need clarification on this process, go to your user guide. Raise the vehicle with the jack until a jack stand can be positioned beneath it.
• Place the jack stand under your automobile so it can hold its weight, and then you may take the jack out from under your car.
• Take off the lug nuts and unbolt the calipers.

Take Off Your Tire's Lug Nuts

• Put them somewhere out of the way and take the tire off. As a result, the rotor and brake caliper assembly may be seen.
• Seek out the bolts on the inner side of the caliper assembly, then unscrew them with a ratchet and socket set.
• Take the caliper unit off and set it over the rotor.
• Never let the brake line become disconnected.

Get Rid of Those Old Brake Pads

• Get rid of the brake pads from both sides of the rotor. Take heed of the directional cues to facilitate the new pad installation.
• See if the clips holding them have been broken. In that case, before installing new brake pads, you should either utilize the clips that came with the new pads or find a suitable alternative.

Installed the Brake Pads

• The metal backing plates of your new brake pads should be greased. It only takes a dime's worth.
• The replacement brake pads must be installed. Make sure to put them where your previous ones were.
• As was previously indicated, you should verify the orientation twice before installing the brake pads, and if you need more precise guidance, you can always refer to the owner's manual.

The Caliper Assembly Must Be Readjusted

• New brake pads will need to be adjusted in the caliper assembly. To do this, repurpose one of the worn brake pads by inserting it into the caliper.
• Insert it against the circular piston, and then tighten it against the worn-out brake pad using the brake tool. The caliper assembly can then be positioned over the brake pads.
• Hand-tighten the bolts to secure the caliper assembly in place. Put that socket wrench to good use and get the job done.

Put The Tires Back On

• The tire must be reinstalled with the lug nuts hand-tightened.
• Insert the jack again, then raise the vehicle until the jack stand can be removed without difficulty.
• Put the jack back under the automobile and lower it to the ground.
• You should use the tire iron to tighten the lug nuts on your wheels before driving.
