I have just bought a new set of brake pads as passenger side are worn completely. I took that wheel off thinking I knew what I was doing but I am unsure what to do next.
I have done this job before on previous cars that I owned but with the help of a HAYNES MANUAL which apparently are not available for the Santa Fe.....
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you.
Derek.
Sorry I don't know how I missed it (rear)
--REAR---
wash the brake assembly
depress the piston using a C-clamp
Remove the upper caliper mounting bolt
Pivot the caliper down for access to the brake pads
Remove the inner brake pad and the outer brake pad
Remove the upper and lower pad support plates; make sure they are a tight fit and aren't worn. If necessary replace them
Install the brake pads in the caliper mounting bracket
pull out the sliding pins, cleanthem, then apply a coat of high-temperature grease to the pins and install them.
Replace any boots that are worn or damaged
Swing the caliper back into place, install the bolt and tighten
Caliper mounting bolt torque is 16 to 24 ft-lb
rear caliper mounting bracket bolt is 37 to 44 ft-lb
