In this video I will show you how to replace rear brakes and rotors on this 2013 Hyundai Sonata
Thank you for your quality video, Jim. I say “quality video” for the following reasons: 1.) First, you verbally outline the procedure and obstacles upfront and before you begin the project and this is important because you are setting the expectations and getting the viewer mentally prepared for what he/she is about to see 2.) Second, you show the viewer what tools are needed to do the job 3.) The lighting is good. 4.) The angles are good - I can see everything you are doing 5.) You provide step-by-step instruction with a clear voice 6.) You recap what you have done. Now I feel prepared to change my rear breaks. Thank you, Sir.
Just did my wife's Sonata rear brakes and rotors. This is 100% spot on. Thanks much!
Great to hear!
Great post. Right on the money. I did put the control arm bolt in backward as I see no reason that would matter. You can't get a square hit putting it back in the original way even grinding the bolt down. You were able to get it, but having a lift makes it much easier but still a pain as you point out. What a screwed up design. I would be very leery of a company that goes out of their way like that to screw their customers who don't mind getting their hands dirty.
I couldn't believe my eyes when he was struggling to put the control arm bolt back in the way he took it out, totally not necessary, Just put it back in the other way around far easier and far less time consuming. Apart from that everything else in the video is spot on,Big thumbs up.
Thanks for watching and your opinion.
Like the posted video for the front brakes, super helpful! ... especially the tip to grind down the shoulder of the stabilizer arm in order to avoid removing the shock absorber. I initially forgot to release the parking break and wondered why I had so much trouble knocking the old rotor off - learned that the hard way. Thanks again.
Thanks Jim. Appreciate the level of detail. Very glad I watched your video.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Jim...just watched this video. What can I say...it was excellent! I need to replace both front and rear rotors and pads on my 2014 Sonata. I can't believe that Hyundai was so negligent in their design, that you need to move the upper control arm to remove the caliper. Absolutely ridiculous. I may need some help from a neighbour, who is a former auto mechanic to get the upper control arm off then back on again. Thanks again for your great video!
Glad it helped.Thanks for watching.
Amazing video had never even worked on breaks fixed my own all by watching your videos thanks for the great content
I changed the rear rotors and pads 2 years ago. I have to unbolt the bottom bolt of the shocks, so I can remove the bolt from the spindle. Then after installing the new pads and rotors, I flipped the bolt of the spindle where the nut is now facing the front of the car. So the next time I replace the rear rotors and pads, there is no need to unbolt the shock bolts. No need to grind the bolt as shown from this video. I used an alignment punch tool to line-up the holes for the bolts. Nevertheless, this video is very informative for everyone who intend to do the same for their Sonata's.
Is there any reason why you shouldn't put the bolt in like you've done? That seems like a very logical solution rather than grinding it. I'm at that point right now and wondering why I can't just put it in the other way.
Great video...thanks. Love the grinding tip. But, why can't you put the bolt in the other way? Seems like it would be a lot easier....
@Mansfield Man, there's nothing wrong with grinding the bolt because it's only part of head flare thats getting removed. There's no structural area of the bolt being touched, so the thickness, tensile and shear strength remain the same. It's like grinding part of a washer.
Jim, thanks so much for this. This will save me a ton of money. I'm really glad guys like you are putting content like this. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for watching I'm happy to help.
For anyone not using a lift for this job, you'll find aligning and reconnecting the stabilizer arm will be a lot easier if you jack up the suspension a bit.
Thanks for you advice and for watching.
@Mansfield Man, it's not a "sheared bolt". It's a ground down washer part of the bolt head. Don't over think it.
Your shave-the-bolt-flange tip has saved me a ton of blue words! Thanks for that great tip, and good video. No nonsense vid. I like it.
I thought for sure that you were going to put the nut on the other end when you had the bolt in from the opposite side. I know a lot of Hyundai and Kia techs who reinstall that bolt in the opposite direction. The orientation of that bolt isn't going to make a bit of a difference. Plus you're saving yourself a lot of trouble or helping out the next guy.
I still use this video as reference for my 14' sonata. I really HATE to unbolt the control arm just to remove the bolt. I dread every time I have to replace the rear brakes.
I enjoy a lot watching your videos. You have great attitude. thank you so much👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching
Its sad how engineers design things so it makes it harder for the average joe to work on his own vehicle thanx for the vid jim your number 1 fan.
Hard to say if it's the engineer's fault. Restrictions, deadlines, timing.
Thank you for this very informative video. Just one question: does it really matter what direction that bolt goes in? It seems to me that it could go in either way. Thankyou for y our service.
My 2012 Azera is the same stupid bolt setup. About 2017 I changed the rear brakes and rotors and inserted the bolt the other way as you're asking about. Before I started the job I read and watched as much info as I could find when someone finally suggested putting the bolt in the other way. I've only changed a few brakes and rotors in my life, but this was the absolute most difficult I've ever done only because of removing and reinstalling that damn bolt.
I watched your video for replacing the front brake pads and rotors and it was very helpful. I did my 2014 Sonata this weekend without any trouble. My rear brakes need attention, too, but after watching your video, I am afraid I won't be able to do it myself. I don't have a garage. I work on my car in the yard, out in the open, with the vehicle lifted (with the factory jack) only far enough to get a jack stand under the suspension. Then I sit on the ground to effect my repairs. I don't have any impact tools and I am pretty sure I don't have the leverage to disconnect the control arm for access to that bracket mounting bolt. Besides, it is January 2022 as I am making my comments and cold out. Any suggestions for someone trying to repair his own vehicle under such crude conditions?
Well, it's April now and I have a set of rear rotors and pads on the way. Should be at my door between 7-14 of April - not too hot, not too cold. I do my work in the driveway because my garage is not wide enough. Lots of tools are available for rent free of charge where I live but I bought my own over time, except piston reset tool. I did look at my rear rotors last summer and I highly recommend to have a friend/family member on stand by for assistance due to the "brilliant" engineering by Hyundai, especially when putting it all back. Also, have the entire rear end lifted, not just one "wheel" at the time. I did it before without any power tools but this time I got a sweet impact wrench on sale, it's worth it. From personal experience, front rotors are a breeze compared to the rear ones.
Great video . Thanks Jim
I just bought a impact driver, cause i killed the screws, worth every penny ,also ordered bew screws, but with the rear cylinders on the 2013 you have to spin the piston back in, and the cheap tool that goes on the socket didnt work for me,im now getting the better one that puts pressure at the same time,hope it works
Next time pop the hood and take the cap off of the master cylinder brake reservoir to relieve some of the pressure.
I like your little music Jim. It means things are moving along! Nicely documented.
Awesome information! Very well instructed.
Would it affect anything if the bolt was in backwords?
@Mansfield Man, NO. Once again, you got it wrong. It's not a sheared bolt. It's the ground down washer part of the bolt head. That's it.
Thanks so much! This was very helpful.
I see that you had quite a hard task since the Hyundai engineers made a mistake in the design of certain parts, and I noticed the same thing on a Ford I owned, and one Chevrolet. You completed the job perfectly, and I applaud you on a job well done.
So how difficult is to replace the shocks at the same time as the brakes?
great video - detailed - thanks
Any reason why the bolt can't go in, opposite of removal?
The shock is in the way. Just gotta undo the bottom bolt and adjust the shock til it's out of the way... The same with replacing...
Gracias detalladamente prefecto gracias maestro conttinue por fabor 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Jim. Thanks for the video. My wife and I are going to be replacing her rear brakes and rotors this weekend and this helped out a lot. She has a 2013 sonata gls. My one question is her dad keeps saying the ebrake is through a drum brake. Have you heard of this? How does that change the job?
It should be exactly as the one in my video. The emergency brake shoes are inside the rear rotor. 10:25-11:25 . You should not have to touch them unless you are replacing the shoes Keep me posted. Thanks for watching
Put it back the way it came out except for the large chunk of bolt that u grinded off. So much fo that logic. 😅
Thanks so much for another detailed video! Just out curiosity, is that a Massachusetts accent I am hearing? Uxbridge, MA here!
Nice vid and what a bunch of nitwits that decided to put the caliper bracket bolts behind the control arm....Seems a little stubborn to not to the easy thing and just reverse the bolt, but I guess it's not your car. I would say you might not see it again, but I have a 2010 and the rear brakes have to be redone every 500 miles it seems like. I would suggest removing a little material from the pads that contact the clips before replacing them if you do another Sonata.
Can anyone tell me the name of that large punch/alignment tool he uses to center the control arm wot the bushing?
I have a 07 sonata. Was driving the other day. A rubbing noise was coming from the back. I pulled over to and nothing. It sounded like my tires where rubbing on platic. Took the rim off and looked and didnt see anything. Been scared to drive the car. Idk whats wrong with it
why no mention of the parking brake shoes, I was looking for the easy way to replace them while doing the pads and rotorsand it looks like the lug bolt flange makes it hard to work around
Is this similar to The 2014 hyundai sonata hybrid limited brake pad replacement?
Why can't you put that strut arm bolt back in from the front - nut on the back?
This is exactly what I'm researching right now. Seems like it would be way easier to just put the nut on the inside.
Ahh he answers it right at the end ruclips.net/video/ZMbN6KUYnJQ/видео.htmlm16s
Did you guys put it back the way it came from the factory or the easier way? Video said he didn't see any issues with it. I might be doing this next weekend for a friend.
@@edmondlau511 Doing it that way would save the trouble next time you have to take it apart. No removing the lower shock
Hey Jim, Have you done anything on Sonata parking brakes. Working on one now and can't get rotor over new shoes. Parts (rotors, shoes, and hardware) seem correct, adjusters all the way in. I see others have had this issue, noted in forums, but none of fixes are my problem. Help?
Hey Jim is there room to use an air hammer to get the bolt back into the control arm?
Is it important after taking the rooter out to do the adjuster
Jim, any difference between this job on an Elantra? THANKS for sharing!!!!!
Instead of grinding one side of the bolt, wouldn't it be easier to replace that large bolt in the opposite manner?
I'm wondering the same thing.
@@MrFukmor anybody try it? seems like it would work fine?
@@pilotdog68 you dont gotta do that at all. Just lift the car, undo the bolt and it all just comes down. Was simple as pie. These videos make it complicated
@@MrFukmor, you must have never worked on the brakes on this car. It ain't nearly that easy on this, or the Azera. I wish it were.
@@pilotdog68 I've done it few times. One time I can recall specifically on a Kia Sportage. If you know about cars Hyundai and Kia are the same company like Ford/Lincoln. The orientation of that bolt isn't going to make one bit of a difference. In the interest of time "flat rate" guys will do this all day every day!
Will this method work with a 2017 hyundai santa fe sport.
thanks for this video after watching i was able to change my brakes and rotors on my sante fe sport. much appreciated.
Hi can you tell me on the 2012 Hyundai Sonata rear brakes can you just change just the brake pads without changing the rotors and going through all this if brake pads are just low not into rotors.
Thank you
I do a live stream on Sunday night at 7:00 PM (EST).I will talk about this.I hope you can stop by
ThankYou
Jim, the screw you cut a piece off...can it be put through the other side of the shock?
Yes it can be! I've done it on a Kia Sportage. The orientation of that bolt isn't going to make one bit of a difference and I challenge anyone to tell me that it will. I don't know why people want to make jobs hard. There is no way I'd waste time putting that bolt back through the way it came from the factory. Otherwise great video!
How much are rotors for a 2013 Hyundai Sonata
Why are we unbolting the mount if we aren't replacing it? Just open the clamshell...
My rotor just won’t come off 😅 I think it’s rusted on or some idk
Spray them with some rust buster and let it sit for a little while. Then try again.
What is the torque on the the bolt for the arm?
Mine didn't have screws in them...are they really essential, or should I not worry about it?
If the screws are missing it's ok. they are not that important.
@@jimthecarguy Appreciate the reply! Thank you so much for the video.
When I wanna put back the control arm the holes don’t align and when I banged it with hammer it ate away the bracket! They are a bit angled, do you have any recommendations?
Send me a picture I'll take a look at it.
Jimthecarguy I solved it by jacking up the wheel assembly part instead of pushing the control arm down and it slides right in! Never seen anyone recommend it but it’s the best way
Hi Jim,
How similar is this job to a 2015 Sonata? Thank you
sean swick should be the same
The brake pads get really stuck on the caliper and wear fast because they always press against the brake disc since the pads cannot slide back easily after braking. It's a common problem on this car, see what I did to fix this - it also got a much better braking ruclips.net/video/yiXR03iKw_0/видео.html
Hey again, will this be the same on a 2000 Hyundai sonata?
Good question but I think the 2000 Sonata may be drum brakes in the back.If you need any advice with the job just let me know.
What year is this?
What a freakin nightmare this was and I've only done one side!
I LOATH this car and the SOB who made it this way DAMIT!!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to hit the bell for notifications when a new video is posted.
Why replace the screws in the rotor? Future headache.
I was able to put back the nut without griding one side....
Thanks for watching
Next time put a jack under the suspension and lift it up a bit. It will clear the shock without a problem and you won't have to grind the bolt.
Nick Nicu lol true
Just move the freaking shock instead of damaging a graded bolt so to put the customers life in jeopardy
It doesn't impact the integrity of the bolt in any way, shape, or form, it is perfectly safe to do exactly what Jim did to that bolt.
Looks like it was sweltering in your shop!
All you gotta do is undo the shock and adjust that out of the way to get that bolt back in...lol. No grinding needed...
Torque specs please
Tight but not too tight
@@paulinoeugenia2660 HAHAHAHA
My pedal feels like it travels too far to stop ,yet all my pads look good
Heck your brake fluid level in the master cylinder
@@Matt-nd2pb turns out I had a rear cylinder leaking, they don’t make things like they used to
Insane. Very disappointed with Hyundai and to think I always complain about BMW and Mercedes. Hyundai messed up here pretty good. A simple pad replacement..turned into removing lower control arm.
Upper control arm
Jim please spray brake cleaner before starting to work you dont want all that asbestos in your lungs.
More silly obnoxious music at 14:53 -- We almost made it through a whole video without the music.
Worst design ever!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching
@@jimthecarguy thanks for the help bud
