Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.

Are you sure it's the remote? Do the doors lock and unlock using the driver's door master switch panel? If not, then it's probably the door 'unlock relay.' If so, then you'll want to test the remote keyfob so see if it's 'transmitting' the correct signal to 'UNLOCK' the doors.

As far as I can determine, your Elantra has standard rear disc brakes.
The lugs should be attached to the hub, which is attached to the axle. The Disc or Rotor (they're one and the same) slip onto the hub. Oftentimes the disc will seize on the hub from rust. You need to spray the center hole, where the disc goes over the hub, with spray penetrating oil. Also spray the lug stud holes. Then take a (dead blow )hammer and hit the disc around its perimeter. It should then come loose.
The broken stud can then be taken out by hitting the front of the stud with a hammer. You may want to spray the back of the stud where it seats on the hub before taking the hammer to it. Place the new stud through the rear and make sure it's seated correctly.
Clean all parts with brake parts cleaner. The lug studs should not have any lubrication on them.
You have to re-set that "large castle nut" that was removed to its proper Preload Torque. I do not know that spec, but you need to find it out, and how it's done.
Suggest you purchase a Repair Manual for your vehicle(s). It really is the best tool you can get.

get the brakes sorted complete with new flexible brake hoses ,door handles well buy some new ones

There is a magnet that the sensors need to pass over. Sometimes they crack and fall down . Remove the sensor and slowly turn the motor over till you see it. If you replaced the belt its possible the magnet is dirty or even damaged if the belt broke before replacing.
If you hook the meter to the signal wire you should see a frequency pulse. But this can be inconclusive if the siganl is weak or erratic.
