How do I take off the rear brake rotor? And what size it the socket that I would need to take the center off? And would I have to repack the bearings if needed?
Hi not conversant with the tiberon in uk but will try to help ? if you remove the rear wheel then look at the brake disc (rotor) most hyundai rear discs on uk models are secured to the rear hub by 2x screws posidrive or tork heads ? if this is so on yours then no problem you will have to remove the caliper first from the carrier 2xbolts h/brake off then undo 2xbolts securing caliper carrier tosuspension stub assy your disc /s are most probably vented discs? or may be standard discs? remove the screws then you may have to hit disc from behind with hammer to jolt free as they are sometimes rusted on due to high temps and rain ideal conditions to create rust as you prob know? re assemble is reverse hope this helps ?
Never hit the surface of the rotor, you will scar it up and or make a high spot that the pads will then contact. It's better to hit the rotor in the middle part where all the wheel lugs are. Don't hit a lug, you may need to use a bar or punch to get in there but this will not harm, chip or distort the rotor.
