I like to use the grease on the pins.. That's what the grease is for.. You do not put grease on the brake pad as that will inhibit the lifespan and the quality of your brakes if it leaks down onto the pad/rotor assembly. But it's OK because literally everybody skips greasing those pens I'm literally the only one that ever does it on every brake job I perform.. I guess I'm the only one that knows what that Grease is for.. It's not to rub all over the back of your pads I promise.. regardless if it's something you like to do or not..
I will give you a ten on your video I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and I have seen videos but not yours to show exactly how to replace the brakes step by step...
quinby123 it should have been there’s no such thing as rotors never not needed replacement or cut, rust build on the rotor as the car sits and when you drive it spreads it deeper into the rotor and rust built into the rotor is what makes that “my brakes feel like they don’t want to grip into the rotor” feeling where if the peddle is just spongy it needs to be bled, in a perfect world of doing brake jobs bleeding the brakes and cutting or replacing the rotors would make that new car brake feeling come back again
Thanks for the video, Quick question Are the rear pads different for vehicles with electronic parking brake and Manual parking brake?? Ive searched for an answer everywhere with no luck.
Anna Huaraque electric parking brakes use an electric motor caliper not fluid so it would be different and the car would have to be put in a service mode in order to do so
It's pretty much the same, but I don't remember the bolt sizes or torque for the front. Hopefully you can find a video on here that also shows the front brakes. Thanks for watching! Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man
That was not needed on this model. Watch it again at the 30 second mark. I just used a flathead screwdriver to pry it back in. I have lots of other brake videos that show the caliper wind back tool if you need that for a different vehicle. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man
Hey man make like Nike and just do it! Stop explaining wayy before you even touch the tool to the part. I'm about to make my own channel and I'm gon to take you all out show you how it's done.
Hi I have a 2015 Sonata and I needed to change the rear brake pads. I went to AutoZone got the pads, then the mechanic tried putting them on but they don’t fit. I took them back paid more money for better pads and those didn’t fit either. So I went to O’reilly Parts got the pads (looked them up using my VIN) and they still don’t fit. Has anyone ever had this with the 2015 Sonatas?
Yes the Autozone fitment info is wrong for the Sonata 15. Could have been a mid-model-year parts upgrade. Here is how I hacked it: After the initial similar experience to yours, I took a pad off the car, and looked for a match on amazon that looked like it. The Wagner came up as a fit on amazon and looked like mine.Their numbering is the same as autozones (but w a different alpha prefix). Took the specimen off the car to autozone and asked for the same number as the Wagner that looked like mine. This was not supposed to fit, but it did fit. I think it was the D1295 for the front. Follow the same process for the rear. (I think you end up with the D1594). Double check by comparing the actual OEM part with the candidate part. The D, DG, DGC variants all use the same numerics. Once you figure it out, write it down somewhere for next time. (Dont be like me, ie lazy)
Lower caliper bolt (guide rod bolt) torque is -- 21.6-31.4 N.m or 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft. Wheel torque is 21.6 ~31.4 N.m - 15.9 ~ 23.1 lb-ft.
Thanks Rami for the specs on this one!
Take Care,

Thank you sir! This really really helped out.
Glad it helped!

concise, not confusing and most important no ads, that's the best kind of ads, thank you
Thank you!
Thank you sir, this is the best DIY I've seen about this topic. Very clear video and simple!
I will give you a ten on your video I have a 2016 Hyundai Sonata and I have seen videos but not yours to show exactly how to replace the brakes step by step...
Thank you!
I appreciate the nice comment.
Take care,
-Dan the Fix it Man
Thank you, I safe a lot money!
Why didn't you lubricate the caliper slide bolts?
Great Video, I finished in less than an hour, and saved 90 bucks. Blessings to you and your family/friends.
Thank you so much Rus!
So glad you were able to get it done quickly, and saved some money as well.
Take care,
-Dan the Fix it Man
Thank you easy bro out of all the videos yours was the easiest.
Great video. Short concise, and on point
13 people don’t know how to change the breaks
He didn’t lube the slide pins and grease on the back of the pads is not necessary.
Thanks man god bless you
No problem,
Thanks for watching!
-Dan the Fix it Man
great video, made it simple like 1, 2, and 3
Hey thanks 👍
So the rotors don't need to be machined or replaced?
quinby123 it should have been there’s no such thing as rotors never not needed replacement or cut, rust build on the rotor as the car sits and when you drive it spreads it deeper into the rotor and rust built into the rotor is what makes that “my brakes feel like they don’t want to grip into the rotor” feeling where if the peddle is just spongy it needs to be bled, in a perfect world of doing brake jobs bleeding the brakes and cutting or replacing the rotors would make that new car brake feeling come back again
Thanks this helps a lot!
Does this go for the SE model as well? ?
Yes, It looks like this would be the same for all models of 2015 Sonata except for the Hybrid versions.
Thanks for watching!
-Dan the Fix it Man
dumb question but do the front brakes take the same amount of effort or more?
Thanks for the video, Quick question Are the rear pads different for vehicles with electronic parking brake and Manual parking brake?? Ive searched for an answer everywhere with no luck.
Anna Huaraque electric parking brakes use an electric motor caliper not fluid so it would be different and the car would have to be put in a service mode in order to do so
Yes. I own a 2015 Sonata. The pads are different for electronic and manual parking brakes.
@@DeShonFaNaKa is that just the front pads? Or all of them? I have the same car.
@@Joshua-vr6ii I don't know. Look up the pads at autozone.com
What kind of brakes should I use???
Use what came with the car. In this case, ceramic.
im curious some mechanics say you have to turn the rotor every time,, some say you dont have to
I'd like to know this
Jesus Christ please teach everyone how to shoot a video... you showed how to do it in 4 min without talking any shit... thank you
You are amazing, thank you very much....great video!!
Hey thanks for the video ! By the way does this go for the front brakes as well ?
It's pretty much the same, but I don't remember the bolt sizes or torque for the front. Hopefully you can find a video on here that also shows the front brakes.
Thanks for watching!
Take care,
-Dan the Fix it Man
Great video, but can you post the one showing how to replace rotors on Hyundai Sonata Limited 2015?
that'll be greatly appreciated
Jorge
Thanks Jorge, I will definitely post a video once I get a job with that car that needs rotors.
Take care,
-Dan the Fix it Man
Ah but you didn't show how to compress the caliper and that stupid tool you need to rotate the piston.
That was not needed on this model. Watch it again at the 30 second mark. I just used a flathead screwdriver to pry it back in. I have lots of other brake videos that show the caliper wind back tool if you need that for a different vehicle.
Thanks for watching!

Are all Hyundai's power or manual brakes
Hey man make like Nike and just do it!
Stop explaining wayy before you even touch the tool to the part.
I'm about to make my own channel and I'm gon to take you all out show you how it's done.
I want the new "Hardware" clips...etc also SLICK!!! You're not being "Professional and correct" Slick!!! :)
