DIY Replace Front Brakes 2011 Hyundai Sonata


This is a DIY for a 2011 Hyundai Sonata front brake replacement 




Two bolts hold these front pads , Once you remove these bolts then you can slide the brake caliper off the rotor - Make sure you replace all the hardware when putting your new pads 


To push the front caliper back you must either use the proper brake tool but in this case you can use a C - clamp cause you have to go in on a angle to push the piston back - be careful cause these calipers are made of aluminum 


Once you have everything off you put it on the same way -

DIY - Front Brakes & Rotors 2000 Honda CRV

This is a DIY for a 2000 Honda CRV Front Brakes with Slotted Rotors







To remove the calipers you need to unscrew the top and bottom bolt - Then you will see a tension spring that if you did not purchase the hardware kit you will be using these again - The reason it is called a tension spring cause this is what pushes your front pads back as the caliper opens - These are important to reinstall 

Then with a 17mm socket you remove the caliper bracket so that you can remove the front rotor 




On this vehicle you have two screws holding the rotors to the hub 



Make sure you have the lines facing forward or read the sticker driver side and passenger side face different ways 


Only on the bolts you need to apply anti seize 




This vehicle takes ceramic pads 




With the caliper tool push the calipers back then starting putting everything on the same way you took it off 

When putting the caliper back on you will have to squeeze the pads to the rotors because the spring tensioner will push the pads out until the caliper surrounds the pads - What I did was slip the bottom of the caliper first then leave a opening to put the spring tensioner for the top then slide the rest of the caliper 



There you have it

DIY - Front Brake and Rotors 2000 Toyota Camry

This is a DIY for front brakes and rotors for a 2000 Toyota Camry
 



 
First you remove the top and bottom bolt that holds the brake caliper to the bracket - Once you have taken the caliper off then you remove the front pads - If needed help use a flat head screw driver - Once you have the pads off remove the two bolts holding the caliper bracket to the spindle - From there you can remove the rotor
 


Make sure you inspect the new rotors to the old ones - In this year Camry there is a difference between a 14 inch rim and a 15 inch rim - Rotors do come in two different sizes - If you are using slotted rotors make sure they are facing the correct direction
 

 
Then with a brake caliper tool push the caliper back
 
 
 
Once you are done then you can replace everything back the same way you took it off
