How to replace rear rotors from a 2007 hyundai veracruz

Ah, here's the info for those...Tightening torque is 155 ft-lbs
NEW bolts don't reuse the old ones.

you must remove the brake caliper and the brakes next the bracket that was holding the caliper must be removed there are two big bolts holding it on once that is removed use a hammer and tap the rotor off when you replace the rotor use never seize and the two big bolts shood be lock tight you can pick up never seize and lock tight ( blue) hope this helps good luck

Brake Pads Removal & Installation Front

To Remove:

1. Drain brake fluid to ½ full level in reservoir.
2. Remove the front wheels.
   
   
3. Remove the front brake caliper assembly.

5. Remove the wear indicator from each of the 2 brake pads.

To Install:
NOTE: When replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims must be replaced together with the pads.

1. Using a large C clamp or equivalent press piston into the caliper.
2. Apply disc brake grease to the inside of each anti-squeal shim.
3. Install the anti-squeal shims on each pad.
4. Install the pad wear indicator clip to the pads.
5. Install the pads with the pad wear indicator plate facing upward.
6. Install the brake caliper with the 2 mounting bolts. Torque the bolts 25 ft-lb (34 Nm).
7. Install the front wheels.
8. Fill the master cylinder with new clean brake fluid.
9. Pump the brake pedal several times to seat the brake pads.

4. Install new gaskets and connect the brake hose to the caliper with the banjo fitting bolt. Torque the fitting bolt 22 ft-lb (29.4 Nm).
5. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.
6. Bleed the brake system.
7. Install the rear wheel

if the front are rotors there are two bolts that need to be taken off first.
remove the caliper, then remove the two caliper bracket bolts and remove the rotor
replace the rotor and reinstall the caliper bracket.
pull the caliper sliders and lube them with brake grease.
reinstall caliper sliders and install new pads and caliper
refasten caliper to bracket and your done

if your doing rear disc brakes same as front
if brakes are drum type you will need rear drum brake tools to release the springs and to refasten
the new brake shoes

PATH: Brakes > Front Disc Brakes > Brake Disc (Rotor) > Removal & Installation Removal & Installation

1. Raise and support the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the front wheels.
   
2. Remove the caliper assembly; do not let the caliper assembly hang by the brake hose, instead support it with a piece of wire looped around the front spring or control arm.
   
3. Remove the retaining screw from the brake rotor and remove the rotor from the hub.
   

An impact driver, No. 3 phillips screwdriver bit, and a hammer may be needed to remove the retaining screw. It is fairly easy to destroy the screw slots using an ordinary phillips screwdriver to remove the tightly driven screw (see photo).

1. To install the disc, replace the disc on the hub, screw in the retaining screw and replace the caliper assembly.
   

PATH: Brakes > Rear Disc Brakes > Brake Disc (Rotor) > Removal & Installation Removal & Installation

1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
   
2. Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
   
3. Disconnect the caliper from the caliper bracket. Support the caliper out of the way with a length of wire. Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose.
   
4. Remove the caliper bracket.
   
5. Remove the two 6mm screws and the brake disc. If the brake disc is difficult to remove, install two 8mm bolts into the threaded holes and tighten them evenly to prevent cocking the rotor.
   
6. Install the rotor in position. Install the two 6mm retaining screws.
   
7. Install the brake caliper. Install the tire and wheel assembly.

use a 14mm wrench or socket to remove the caliper bolts/slides. remove caliper. note how old pads came off, match the new pads with same location of old pads ( check for hardware or indicator location). press the caliper piston in . the correct way is to use a caliper press, apply a little pressure to piston, open bleeder screw, press piston all the way in, tighten bleeder. (or grab a 'c' clamp and slowly push the piston in. i would recommend having the rotors machined to for proper wear and to eliminate vibration. for this remove 2 17mm bolts holding caliper bracket on and rotor will slide off.

they will stick just like the front ones if bad. and for the rotors the only time they need changed is if they are scored or have deep ridges in them, from worn down brake pads, when brake pads wear down to the metal backing plate, they will leave a ridge in rotors. or deep grooves. change rotors if they are bad.

It just makes this tapping noise when you foot is on the brake pedal or does it go away when you touch the brake pedal? It sounds like a warped rotor.

In the future, please be more specific with your question. For this one, I'll speculate, and cover the bases. If you're looking for whether or not to replace rotors, here's what to look for. If the brake pedal "pulses" when you brake, then your rotors are warped, and yes, then need replacing. If you look at the rotor, and see deep gouges or pits, or the rotor surface is no longer relatively flat, then it needs replaced.
As for how to replace them. You will need to remove the wheel, support the offending corner of the vehicle with a block or a jack stand (you should never leave a car supported on a jack), and turn the wheels towards the side you're working on for ease of access. You will notice two large bolts on the back side of the backing plate that hold the bracket for the caliper. Remove those bolts, then remove the caliper, and support the caliper so that it doesn't fall and break the brake line. You can now remove the rotor, and replace it with a new one. You may need to "coax" it off with a hit from a hammer, as sometimes they get a little rust on them, and need motivation to come off. You should always replace the brake pads with the rotors, so you should squeeze the caliper piston back in, taking car not to make the reservoir overflow, put new pads in the same way as the old ones come out, and then put the caliper bracket with caliper back on as you took it off. Repeat the same process with the other side. You can replace only front, or only rear, but never replace only left or only right. The front are a set, and the rear are a set, and should never be maintained differently. Hope this is what you were looking for, and you get your vehicle sorted out quickly and easily.

you should only have to take off the tire and the calipers, and the caliper bracket, there is no hub on the front wheels. there should be 2 bolts holding on the caliper bracket, usually with a big allen screw. they may be stuck so use a hammer to tap them loose. good luck
