How to Replace Rear Brakes 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata

New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS01140
This video shows you how to install rear brake pads and rotors on your 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2015 Hyundai Sonata
2016 Hyundai Sonata
2017 Hyundai Sonata
2018 Hyundai Sonata
2019 Hyundai Sonata

Those 14mm bracket bolts are insanely hard to get off.

[@jasoncleveland8066]

Very helpful if I was in a shop and not on my gravel driveway with a small ratchet set and a large c-clamp lol

[@pincher111]

Love your content

[@luisnieto3236]

I followed your directions for my first brake job and you made it SUPER easy! Thank you. Question though, my rotors didnt have the 2 screws to hold it in place. They have the screw holes but didnt have a screw??

[@robmatz2595]

Why did you have to open up the system? I guess making sure there is no air?

[@sethcolson2944]

Getting bracket bolts off helps when you have the right tools like a longer ratchet 👍 still works tho

[@01stockton]

I have a 2016 Optima SX 2.0, is the process just about the same, including the torque specs? Thank you.

[@RossP-lk3ko]

I bought some brake pads and rotors from my local auto parts store, compatible with my model, but there were no rubber pieces in either box. Can I get these parts separate, or should I go with a different brand?

[@zteburner5882]

NOTE: I made the mistake of thinking this video was for the EPB (electronic parking brake) which there is more behind it that needs to be done, especially when trying to retract the electronic gear.

It's pound feet not foot pounds. According to Mr Sharpe!

[@wrthomas69]

Absolutely fantastic video. I do have a question. I did have my brakes serviced at Garage as I don’t have the desire or time to do them. One thing my mechanic mentioned is that you now have to have access to the computer to release Emergency brake, is this true? I have a 2019 Sonata.

[@RKKGROW420]

So after adjustment there should be zero drag on the rotor?

[@onlyme8870]

Ive been able to acces the ebrake rhrough the screw holes.

[@tootallzz]

Nice video, thank you!

[@ureasmith3049]

Thank you sir.

[@ShORTiiqOtGaM3]

[@nicknavarro6999]
