Very easy to follow directions for a complete rear brake replacement. Thank You for the detailed video with commentary to make this an easy job!
Thanks Jim! This was a big help! @ 14:14 "You may have to play around with this" is a huge understatement.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I had just started pulling the rears apart and got to the pad carrier and wtf? Who had their head up their ass when they came up with hiding the lower bolt behind the arm?!?!
It stuns me that the designers are never NEVER planning on working on their own vehicles!
Thanks Jim for this video, very clear and very helpful! Keep up the great work sir!
same jackass who decided where to put the oil filter on the old 2.2 gm motor before the ecotec. only way to get easy access is to pull the fn passenger tire off!
Hands down the best brake change video I have seen on youtube
Your video is helpful as I am just getting ready to change the brakes and rotors in my Kia Optima!
The best video procedure for this job on youtube. He makes the job the easiest way. Thank You.
Wow, thanks!
Jim I have a 2006 Kia Sorento that I'm about to do the brakes on and I found your video extremely helpful I learned a lot. Thank you very much subscribed by the way
Thank you and welcome to the shop.
One of the best video I’ve seen Thanks!
Jim, so glad I found your video.....my girlfriends sportage needs rear brakes, mechanic wanted $390.00 to install, I know you guys have to make money but with your video I just saved a lot of money, thanks, very helpful
Great job.Thanks for watching.I'm happy to help. Don't forget to hit the bell for notifications when a new video is posted
Thank you so much for putting this video up!!
I'm happy to help.Thank you for your feedback
Thank you so much. this helped me finish my back job. Very good!!!!
Thank you for watching. If you need any advice let me know.
thank you very much for posting this. I wasn't sure how much trouble that bar would be if I disconnected it.
Jacqueline Rech Happy to help.
An impact screwdriver comes in handy for those two retaining screws, also.
than you men for that i was looking for this video because i have not seen videos about kia rondo its a few you saved me a lot of money
+kamal abbady I'm happy to help.Thank you for watching and for your feedback
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hello,excellent how to vid.I watched another basic how to on kia front brake change,was working in my poorlylit shop last nite .Dissembled and reassembled new roters pads,could not get bracket bolts on.Well decided to go home andstart in the morning when light is better,also watched your vid--- LUBE pad tracks and cheak,lube slide pins.This step not in the first vid I watched-----My slide pins were frozen. Good thing I watched your vid .Thank you..
+nicketa13 boynansky Ya some times a little thing like the silicone grease can save you from doing the job a second time.Thank you for your feedback and for watching.
very nice tutorial sir!
Nice one...i got exactly the same design as on your video..this will definitely help me for my diy.. 👍
Thanks for the back yard mech . this was very helpfull
I'm happy to help.Thank you for watching
Nice video and learned a new way to press the caliper in before taking it all apart.
Thanks for watching I'm happy to help.
Great job of explaining! That lube of the caliper bolts is a great reminder. Is there a spec for minimum brake pad thickness in the drum for the e-brake??
Great job...Thanks for the help!!!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. All I would add is that if you clean off the caliper piston boot and lube it with synthetic grease you you will extend its life almost indefinitely. Short, easy pedal applications after you are done can avoid flipping over the square piston sealing ring.
i use high temperature silicone for the shoe and pins
Thank you for the video. How do you adjust the handbrake through the hole in the rotor?
good video. The brake pads were very tight in the bracket. I filed down the tabs on the brake pads to make them fit better and be allowed to slide in the bracket. I greased them well in the slide. Will I have corrosion issues later causing pads not slide?
Excellent video, thank you.
You are welcome!
Thanks so much for posting, i'm heading over this afternoon to change the rear breaks and rotors on my 2013 accent. i'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for watching and your input.Keep me posted
your instructions were incredibly usefull. the only difference is i didn't have the arm to dismantle and the cylinder or piston needed a square tool instead of just pushing it in.
Excellent job !!!
Glad you like it!
great vid , thanks, I will look up torque specs just because I have a bad habit of over tightning things and I sometimes break the bolt
+World Scum Thanks for your feed back. and for your input.
Thx a lot Jim! Great video!
You are welcome!
Hey Jim great video. I’m a beginner to working on my car. I wanted to know would this work for a 2015 Kia Forte? Also is there anything else I should know before attempting to work on my brakes or is everything covered in the video?
well done , sir.
I work as an aviation mechanic and we use a CMM as every nut has a specific torque value.
Your video was excellent but the reason I watched it was to find out the torque specs?
Good video
I was always taught to remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before pushing pistons back so it doesn’t push the seals/break out of the master cylinder
The 2 small screws do not need to be reinstalled, they were used in the factory because when the cars were on the line, they did not have wheels on the them.
wow only video on youtube on how to replace kia rondo rear disc and pads.........thank yo
+TetovoBoy I'm happy to help.Thank you for your feedback
That's because all the other mechanics smashed their camera on the ground 1/2 way thru the job.
Thanks Jim. Notice you don't use thread lock on re-assembly. But you did apply a fair bit of torque to those bracket bolts. Not an issue? Some folks at home possibly don't have an extension / breaker bar.
Thank you for stopping by the shop.
Caliper bracket is the same on 2007! Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for watching . I'm happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.
@@jimthecarguy sub'd just now
No one has a video on replacing the Kia Optima emergency brake shoes located under the rotor. Mine needed to be replaced after the shoe lining feel off when replacing the rotor.
do you have a video on how to replace rear drums and shoes on 2017 Hyundai elantra se
I just realized that I put the washer on the wrong side of bolt for control arm will that cause that to eventually come loose?
thankyou very helpful
+Steven Van Tassell I hope my video was helpful.Thank you for your feedback.
I was put in the air the brake pads and I screw the Westin shoes so bad so I was wondering if I could go on and and ignore it or That will Cause trouble??
So which bright spark at Kia decided that it was a good idea to restrict access to one of the caliper mounting bolts with the suspension control arm? Someone who used to work at Citroen perhaps.
I wonder what other "land mines" they planted in those cars LOL! Like that rubber steering interface that goes all wobbly and you have to change it after a few years.
for real!!!
i figured out that if you put the bolt in the other direction, for future work, you wont have to remove the shock ;-) i outsmarted kia
You don't need to remove control arm at all, you can get spanner on the bolt with arm in place and bolt will come out past control arm, just easier if control arm is not in the way i suppose 1
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-zzzz
So last September found the left outboard pad blew up, frozen in slides. go to Automate get brake pads with hardware kit. cleaned slide pins/grease slide pins, test caliper and put back together. 6 months later I found it had yet another brake issue. pull it apart, expecting a seized caliper, I find the left outboard pad frozen again. This time, new rotors/pads/hardware and more cleaning. what I found after cleaning the bridge was the pads were 3/1000's of an inch to fat on the lower half of the pad below the slide tabs. clean with Red&Tacky they slid with a tiny bit of drag. after grinding I removed the drag, again greased edges with Red&Tacky. After 4 hours of playing with the bridge/mounting hardware I can only recommend you buy a loaded caliper every time you do rear brakes.
Thank you for watching and your input
Can you make a video for Kia sedona lx 2014 breaks and rotor too
Thanks to your video I was able to do my rear brake caliper change by myself.
I am a little concerned however that hitting the cliper hard with the hammer.
Will this damage the bearing somewhat?
Captain Canuck No it will not damage anything But thats a good question.
Please do a video for Kia 2014 front and back breaks and rotos
Thank you sir! I'd planned to take my '09 Rondo to the good local shop for the rear brakes once I'd saved the money up for the job. Figures, the rear driver's caliper seized due to rust from the deteriorated pad, so it's parked in my driveway and I only had the $ to get parts; so, the car's up on some borrowed jack stands and I wrote down your instructions. Nitrile gloves on and here goes nothin'! :)
Rebecca Hahn If you need any advice let me know
The passenger side outer pad (rear) won't seat properly in the anti-rattle clip. :/ Any suggestions?
Make sure that there is no rust on the mounting bracket were the pad and clip touch.If there is you will need to remove that rust so the pad can slide freely.
Will do. Bet that's it. We're off by no more than 3 mm. :) Thanks again!
Thank you for posting this. At least I was prepared. Did the fronts on my dads car in an hour. Couldn't get that bolt out on the rear arm too gain access to the caliper bracket bolt, very frustrating. The nut came off fine but the bolt was seized. I used pb blaster and after an hour I used a bottle torch on it. Got it to twist but it was still seized to the rubber bushing. Had to call it quits and they will have to find a shop unfortunately.
Yea some time the bolt rusts to the inner sleeve in the bushing.Did you try to tap the bolt out?If you do try to tap the bolt first put the nut on to the bolt loose and then tap it with a socket on the nut.Keep me posted.Do you want to call me so we can talk?
jimthecarguy I really appreciate that but I'm not with the car, it's a couple hour drive away, at my parents. Yea I hit it pretty good and just couldn't get it to budge. Started to damage the nut, so I called it quits before I couldn't put it back together. I just wanted to share my experience. Thanks again!
Hi, Could you just write it down what size of all the screws and nuts are? thank you
Jim, I watched your video on doing the front brakes on a 2015 Kia Soul...well done. I'm just asking about the rears...is it correct on that car that it has a rear piston with the dimples and needs to be wound back clockwise into the caliper via use of a brake piston tool? Thx in advance.
Russell Baker yes you will need the tool to turn the piston back in check out my Amazon store to see what it looks like
And is this car equipped with electronic parking brake ?
That a good video for practice.. but maybe you can clean the brake shoe (after replace disc brake) for make sure the brake in a good condition. I'm sorry for my language not good..
Thank you, Jim. Very thorough, informative video. I might have to do the brakes for a friend's Sorento soon. I hope they are set up the same way. ...Don't understand the screws utilized in the rotor? On my '97 T-bird, the rotor just slides off once the caliper is removed.
+PalaniRides It should be the same.If you need any advice or run into a problem let me know.
jimthecarguy
Thanks, Jim. Other than a small score on the front left rotor, her rear brakes looked okay when I checked them yesterday. Her problem, and it seems to be a problem with many owners of this model based on what I've found on the 'net, is a loud series of thuds or knocks that seem to be hailing from the vicinity of the rear right passenger seat. The strange thing is that they happen only occasionally when she is at a full stop. Of course, it didn't happen when I rode with her as we were listening for them. ANY ideal what that might be? Again, it only happens when she is at a full stop, and she insists that it is loud. I'm baffled.
+PalaniRides Intermittent noises are the most difficult to repair because you can not tell were exactly it is.Some times you will need the noise to get louder or more constant to track it down.Keep me posted.
A bit more of a pain than the front. The second calliper screw is hidden really well. Got to detach that arm that you did, no way around it. Thanks for the great info.
+Mike Chajecki Yea what good engineering when they designed this car .Lol
Yeah, sucks when doing it in the driveway.
Great video! Very helpful and CLEAR!
Would it be pretty much the same on a 2013 Forte? Would the arm also be in the way on the Forte?
Thanks
+Stephane Winter Yes it should be the same.
Thanks
Good job, well done. Very important to check, clean and lube the slider pins and shims. A lot of techs skip this step out of laziness.
+Pawel D You are right.There in to much of a rush.
They skip that step so the car never comes back in their shop.
Make a video for a Nissan Frontier 2000 for breaks and rotor how to install: thanks
I have a 2015 kia optima do u know if it's like that one your working one. when should I do my brakes I have 33000 miles on my car.
It should be the same.As for when to do the brakes.it all depends on the driving conditions.It is always a good idea to check them to be sure.
Hey Jim. Thanks for a great vid :) Is it safe to asume that the procedure is identical on a Kia Rio 2012?
Cobberpaste is viable as lubrication for the sliderpins as well as for lubricating the sockets for the pads, right?
+Per Trinderup Dalgaard Yes the 2012 should be the same but i'm not sure what Cobberpaste is.I would use the brake grease that is specifically made for it.Thank you for your input and for watching.
If you're talking about copper paste lubricant, yes it can be used on the pads, but use a different lube (silicone grease is recommended) that won't damage the rubber boot for the slide pins. Copper lube is petroleum based and can swell the rubber over time. It may only be fractionally, but even a little can introduce dirt.
I have a 2011 KIA Sportage EX and until I found this video I was having a hard time finding out if there was another bolt somewhere. It just didn't make sense to remove the arm to get to it. Every video for a 2011-16 was different and both bolts were accessible just like the fronts. Made no sense. Thank you!
I noticed you didn't torque any off the bolts, is it necessary?
I was hoping to just replace the slide pins since the caliper was working, but the bottom slide pin will not come out, it will spin but will not come out. I have tried putting a locking wrench on it and pushing but that hasn't worked. I spayed brake cleaner into the shaft to remove any dried grease, and then penetrating oil which didn't work either. There was a lot of brown foam coming out of the shaft from the spray which made me think it was working but nope. Any suggestions on removing a stuck slide pin.
Thank you for your assistance.
Thanks for watching
Moc pěkná práce, až na jednu věc. Co to kladivo na sundání kotouče???
Vím, že starému kotouči to nevadí, ale při těch rázech trpí zadní ložisko kola. A konkrétně tyto auta jsou na zadní ložiska náchylná. Příště prosím použít stahovák.
Ale jinak opravdu pěkná práce.
ja by som určite brzdový systém vyčistil aj čističom na brzdy,lebo taká výmena sa robí raz za 100000 km ...
Ono tam toho bylo víc. Například momenťák mu taky nic neříká, i když neříkám, že bez něj to nejde.
Ale s tím čištěním máš pravdu. Když jsem viděl jak na neočištěný náboj plácne nový kotouč. No budiž, aspoň se na něj podíval světlem, ale to vedení destiček hned zaplácat mazivem a šup na auto. No nevím, nevím. Mimochodem, právě jsem odeslal objednávku na zadní kotouče a desky, takže mě to čeká.
Doufám, že bez použití kladiva :-).
Hope this ain't a silly question but do you have to bleed the brakes or anything else or just tyre on and good to go. Oh great video by the way. Thanks
Mayz Page You don't have to bleed the brakes after you replace them but you will need to pump the brakes a few times before you driving
Can I remove rotor to resurface without damaging rotor rear
Would you be able to make a video or maybe you already did on how to clean the brakes?
Yes I will .Thank you for the suggestion.
I replaced a warped rear rotor and pads on a 2014 Kia Optima. Thanks for heads up about rear caliper bolt hidden inside control arm bracket. On my Optima, the rear control arm bolt hits the shock and I needed to remove the shock bolt and move the shock to remove control arm bolt, then move control arm to access caliper bolt. Crazy design. That was the easy part. How do you reassemble control arm quickly. You don't really show that on the video. It was almost impossible to align so that bolt goes all the way through. What is the trick to get this back together quickly, it took me forever? Not easy doing it on jack stands either. I can't find anything on RUclips about it.
2013 Hyundai Sonata has the same stupid design. Hyundai service manual says that you have to support the lower control arm with a jack to put the upper arm in no-load condition.
www.hsguide.net/rear_upper_arm_repair_procedures-287.html
Thanks for the reply. That helped immensely when I did the other side this morning. Hyundai manual does not say anything about unfastening shock lower bolt as well, but on my Kia, that has to come off too to get the control arm bolt out. Only adds about 15 - 20 minutes to a normal brake job. Still a bad design.
The link in my previous reply is the upper arm procedure. Here's the link to the rear brake procedure:
www.hsguide.net/rear_disc_brake_repair_procedures-391.html
It does say that you have to remove the shock absorber before removing the upper arm. Crazy design.
I replaced the front brakes myself but chickened out on the rear ones after reading the manuals. Took the car to a licensed mechanic to do the rear side. Curiously, he messed up something when he did the job. The car started making loud grinding noises when going over the speed bumps. I took it back and guess what... he removed and reattached the upper arm to fix the noise. Not sure what exactly he did wrong the first time. He didn't want to talk about it.
Once you know and follow the procedure you provided, it is not too bad.
It took me about 40 minutes to do the one side.
I wish I had read your comment and others first. In the video, it didn't take Jim much to put the arm back, but in reality, after ithe arm was relocated, it took me 30 mins to put it back. It didn't align well. I had to use hammer to knock it down really hard. The edge was a little damaged. Then again the blog didn't go through the hole, I had to use hammer again. Hopefully these didn't harm the integrity of the bolts. I would not do this rear brake by myself again in the future. Too much time. Btw,I did come up with an idea: after removing the bolt, knock down the arm gently, as long as there's enough room for the wrench to hold the caliper bolt, but let the edge of the arm stay in place. The 14 mm wrench should be able to get the bolt from the top. With that said, I still thank Jim for these videos. They helped me .
Reasonably good video...would have been nice if you'd mentioned the torques required...."tight as you can by hand?!?!?"
+Paul Procure Thanks for your feed back.
How do i know its just a piston and not the circular turning type piston. I saw a video where you need a tool to turn this back. Ive never taken mine apart before
You can tell by looking at the back of the caliper or send me a picture.
What about bleeding the lines?
you did not adjust the parking brake shoes before putting back the rubber cap on the new rotor. Or perhaps you do not have to do this.
And thank you, a little dark in there once in a while..
great video please make more kia what else will yhink of next 🤧
Jamie Solonash LOL keep watching!
Will this work on a 2010 Kia Forte EX?
Pretty much, only difference I see is the control arm isnt in the way on the forte. It's pretty straight forward and be careful not to over tighten the mounting screws for the caliper, they're cheap on the forte
Do you need to take the whole caliber off to take off brake pads
My bad I meant the part that holds the brake pad lol
Only if you replace the rotors
I used a wrench to get that back bolt out w/o removing the arm.
Thank you for stopping by.
I just did this same job on my 2009 Rondo and while I could loosen the bolt with the arm in place, I couldn't get it backed out completely (the wrench would get trapped). _Much_ easier to just pull the arm (despite the fact that it took some heat to get it to free up)
I used a skinny Snap On. I probably pulled that bolt last and pulled the caliper toward me as it was loosening. I don't even remember now...that part was scary as F using a scissor jack on hot TX asphalt. Good thing I had help from my son's friend's dad who is a retired mech from Nam. Nothing like Asian mechanics! Those guys are really creative and think outside of the box when my dumb ass hits a wall LOL!
Great i'm happy to help.Thank you for stopping by the shop
never use your hand as a hammer. use a mallet instead. clean new rotors with any good solvent before using them also. brakkleen is a good one
are the brakes on a Rondo the same as on a Kia Sorento 2012? is the method valid for the front brakes as well?
Shane Powell Yes they are almost exactly the same.
jimthecarguy Thanks Jim, as soon as the parts get in, I will be on it like white on rice. subscribed!
Shane Powell when you say "almost" are there any differences I need to watch out for? or is it just because it's on a different vehicle it will look a bit different cosmetically?
+Shane Powell Great video. I'm going to do the back brakes on my daughter in laws 2013 Sorento as soon as I'm done here and will post back. The only thing I didn't get was near the end when the camera was lifted and pointed toward the pins. I didn't get the part about the flat spot on the pins. I couldn't see in the video what you were referring to. I will see in bit though and post back on how it went. Once again excellent video.
Shane Powell It may look a little different but the procedure is the same.If you need any further advice let me know
He forgot to use dynamo meter to tight the bolts up on force of 30N. Otherwise ok.
you should never collapse a caliper without opening the bleeder, you can ruin the master cylinder
How so? I assume you've learned from experience?
no I learned from my father , I own an auto repair business. I flush brake fluid on every single automobile when I do a brake service, when you collapse a caliper without bleeding you force the contaminated fluid back into the master cylinder
Good advice CL.
Cookie Lall Is it safe for a backyard mechanic to bleed the breakfluid? I just have fears of messing up my breaks and getting into an accident or something by being a cheapskate trying to do it myself.
@@cookielall6001 you are correct never back feed fluid into a antilock master system it will plug it up bad... this video was sad... all of it was bad 17 mistakes here sad...
u must never use anything but silicone paste/lube on the slide pins!!!!
What about using a little brake cleaner to remove any oil coating that was applied to the rotor so the brakes will work!!!! WTF
at 14:32 you never ever tighten down a spindle support arm with a pressed in rubber bushing in it, it must be on ground under a car off jack stands then must torque it down ... i worked in a alignment shop 17 years they would fire you if they caught you doing this .... now when you set car down on ground it will twist that rubber bushing so bad it will start to rip it apart just ask any shop no joke,,, believe me... shocking video...
You are a TROLL

I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe.
i would not let you work on my lawnmower ....
You are a TROLL
at 15:38 you never push in that fluid back into the line ever. always open the bleeder and drain it out as you push in caliper piston... come man what kind of a show you putting on here???
You are a TROLL
you should of clean off the old grease with dirt and metal particles from years of wear . clean everything with old grease on it . like those old mounting brackets with grease in it and remove that old rubber boot first and clean out the pin hole with old grease in it come on man what kind of show are putting on here ??? teacher needs to go back to school and listen to a real teacher i think you called in sick the day they had a brake class??? well did you call in sick ???
You are a TROLL
shocking video... you forgot to clean the rotor with a brakeklean. and clean the surface where the new rotor mates ??? and while you have off the rotor do a service on the parking shoes like grease the backing plate area where the shoes slides on the backing plate so the parking brake will not have restricted movement man... and you should took a measurement of the parking brake shoes to adjust it close to the rotorhat inner dimeter for a close fit, so you will not have waste time trying to get parking brake shoe close to the hat... you should delete this video...
You are a TROLL
hi thanks very much for the great vid it is very useful but i have to question
1. when pushing back the piston is it okay to not open the drain bolt of the brake fluid
2. for the rubber silicon paste
+Ahmad Ali If you are pushing the piston back in you do not have to open the bleed screw and as for the silicone you should us it on the new brakes and the slide pins.Let me know how you do.
+jimthecarguy thanks very much for advice really you are wonderful
