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.

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!

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.

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.

Thanks very much for posting this. I saved my family a couple hundred bucks by replacing our Santa Fe's brakes myself.

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.

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

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

One of the only brake jobs I have seen on KZfaq that was actually done right

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

Jim, I want to thank you for your video and expertise. Following you video and some words with one rusted rotor, I did it. Happy Holidays

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

Thanks for the video, buddy! Gotta do this job to my son's sante fe in the morning.

Followed Jimmy's directions on a 2014 Santa Fe, it worked out great.

very good. Thank you. Ive watched a few of these and this one the best

Great video. Really helped me save time and get the job done rights. Thanks!

I love your videos. Thank you!

Jim I know I already replied to say what a great video as it helped me replace tge rotors an rear brake pads on my 2017 Hyundai Sante la Fe XL Ultimate However I followed the same exact process on my 20 yr old daughter's 2005 Chev Optimate rear rotors and brake pads and the job turned out exactly with the same fabulous results Kudos to you

Beautifully explained.

Awesome teaching. It's very good work

Thanks, I changed mine watching this video.

Thank you sir for the valuable information it was great ..you made so easy ..cheers mate

That was an excellent video. My dealer was charging me $299. for the fron and $255. for the rear. I did it myself.

excellent stuff

Very informative and broken down. Thanks

I wish u would show changing the e brake cables great quality video

Great video. Thx alot

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.

Great video. The rotors come off a lot easier if you pull the rubber bung and back off the handbrake adjuster to pull the brake shoes in a bit.. then you can readjust when the new ones are on - trust me, much easier, and I found that it's quicker 👍

Thank you so much, very well explained.

Very clear explanation sir💖💖💖thank you so very much for sharing your skills 👍

Thanks, loved the video !!

Thank you a very good video !!! Thank you ..

love it .. thank you so much for your video

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!

Great video. Well done.

good tips Jim! gotta love that rust!

Great explanation. Thanks.

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.

thanks for the vid, maybe you should've include replacing the parking shoe? except for that, great video and well explained, cheers

@jimthecarguy - what are the Torq specs for a 2011 Hyundai Tucson for both Front & Rear? This was a very informative video, thanks a million!! Gonna work on doing mine this weekend.

Well done. Thank you.

Hi, Great Video Btw , I have a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz and I have to replace the front brake pads and the rear rotors and pads , could you please tell me the torque specs? Also what is better for this car do you know? Semi or Ceramic pads Thanks

Thanks, subbed.

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!

Perfect video

I just want to thank you for this video - much appreciated - I had the opportunity to replace the right (passenger) rear passenger rotor and the brake pads with particular attention to your suggestion to the removal of the rotor as it was seized on good and it took a small sledge hammer to get it off as the rubber mallet was not good enough - but thanks to your video this was all i needed to ensure the job was done efficiently and effectively. I concur with everything you stating in the video - well done ... its just the unwashed like me that does not have the hoist to work off of that would have the job so much easier to complete. The a few things I suggest people DO pay attention to is as follows: 1) use gloves like as shown here - it is is a messy or dirty job 2) try to make sure you get the right parts up front if plausible I was changing out the rear pads and rotor on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL Ultimate and despite using Amazon wherein the parts are supposed to be accurate using their systemology it was not and had to get new pads from the direct seller using Amazon as their platform 3) I switched out the winter tires all round at the same time so you will also need white grease for putting the lug nuts back on the SUV 4) my costs were only $ 36 for the ceramic pads & $46.42 taxes all in for the rotor.& $ 9.78 taxes in for the brake grease 5) cost for using a Costco rage $ 2 sundry 6) cost for hand cleaner $ 2 7) broke my C-Clamp I bought through Amazon - 2 brake jobs ago $ 10 8) cost of White lithium grease $ 5 of a $ 10 spray can bought 1 year ag0 9) cost of WD 40 $ 5 of $10 spray can bought 1 year ago - mechanical repair shops call By far the cheaper break job completed ever and argubaly toughest due to rust

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?

thanks for video

Thanks Jim .

Hey Jim, Thanks for the great video. Can you please give me the Torque Specs for the 14mm bolts (minute 17:07). Thank you

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!

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.

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

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

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

Great video!!

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 what if damage was done to the shoe assembly? One side with the shoe attached the arrowhead nail and clip came off and i had to put it back in, but should i get a whole new shoe assembly?

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

How to fix my rear defroster please? The button's light isn't on either. 2007 Hyundai Santa fe

I need to do the hold down springs and other parts on mine. Does anyone know if the wheel bearing and hub need to be removed to access or can i be done without.

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

Is there a trick to getting the brackets to sit tight and getting the pads to slide into the brackets? I got as far as putting the pads on and I can’t get them both seated in the brackets.

what are the torgue specs for the braket

Awesome video on brake replacement!!! Did you use standard bearing grease on the pins and etc? Thanks

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?

Excellent Video Jim! Is it the same method for a 2013 Hyundai Tucson? I need to replace my pads & rotors all around plus I also need to replace my front drivers side caliper that seized. 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.

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

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

Hey great video do u also think if it's a 2017 santa fe the step would be the same because the year difference?

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

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...

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

Excellent video. Thank you for your time.

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.

2011 Tucson's lower 14mm bolt (7:44 of 19:54) is hard to get at with socket/ratchet like yours. What do you use to remove it?

Jim could you send me torque specs for Santa Fe 2003 caliper brackets

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??

Would this process be the same for a 2012 model Santa Fe? Good video!!

How much does a good impact driver cost I'm gonna need one to do my brakes

Hi Jim, another great video. Is the impact driver you used in this video on your Amazon tool page? Thanks in advance.

please can give me thr tork in pound for santa fe 2015 Xl rear ans front caliper support

Does this also apply to a 2014 Santa Fe or is the design a smidge different?

Great video. I am going to try this myself. I am confused at 15:25 regarding the battery pack. What is that for and what size is the battery? Thanks again.

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.

im told to wire wheel as much rust as possible??

What the torque spec
