You took them apart farther than I did. The front ones just needed a c-clamp , but the back ones needed to be turned clockwise. I tried to use a c-clamp and quickly found I was wrong. It was time to check the internet. Thank you for showing me what to do!
Great video and very informative. Tried this myself and it worked well. One suggestion for Canadians is that you can rent the special caliper tool for free from Canadian Tire. Just give a deposit and return it later. It was not mentioned but the caliper can be really tight to get off after 4 years on the road. I used a large screwdriver in strategic strong points at the top and bottom to wiggle it off and that seemed to do the trick. The OEM front brake pads come with a special substance that is supposed to dampen noise. It seems like that is used in place of the anti-seize above and below the brake pad.
@@MrCoreyMartinhey corey. I just did my kona 2019 today but I've watched ur tutorial. Thanks for that. Question though, you just opened the reservoir of your brake fluid. My dad was so mad at me today when i did that because he said I'm supposed to put a cloth surrounding the reservoir to prevent the brake fluid from overflowing and dropping towards the wirings and engine parts below. He said the brake fluid will surely corrode the wiring and paints. What's your take about that?
Very good instruction. I will be doing this in the spring too. In my country, in winter, huge amounts of salt are sprinkled on the roads in winter ( I guess they got paid a premium per ton)🤪, so the chassis, suspension, and brakes have a hard time. One question. Does the piston on the other side also screw in clockwise (with the same tool) I have a set with only one screw (clockwise) for pressing the piston. Greetings from Poland!!!
Of course I don’t have the special comprehension tool. After 5 minutes of considering building my own tool I found out the wrench on my 4” mini grinder fits like a charm. It took me longer to find the wrench than it did todo the job.
I'm not sure I fully under stand your question, but I will attempt to answer it. The best place to jack it is on the "pinch weld" it runs the whole length of the car. Close to the back and the front of the pinch weld there is a thicker part. That is your jacking point. Since I needed to put jack stands there I had to jack it up in a different place. I did on the pinch weld as close to the jacking point as possible. This probably is not advised because that part of the pinch weld is not reinforced or designed for jacking. Another option would be jacking it in the appropriate spot and putting jack stands somewhere else on the frame or rear axle area etc.
Thank you for the video. I have a 2020 Kona ultimate AWD 1.6L turbo. Will this be the same? I've heard there's a difference between the 2.0 and 1.6. Is there anything i should know before doing this?
You don't need to open the master cylinder. Some people do, but you don't have to, I've done plenty of these without doing it, You're not opening the lines so there shouldn't be any kind of air or pressure loss. I agree with not bleeding the brakes. I've only done that twice on a Rav4 I used to have when I had to change the calipers. It's a huge PITA whether you do the 1-man method or 2-man method. Things like brakes and wheels should be torqued to spec. Things like speaker grills it doesn't really matter as long as it's not rattling. I have a torque wrench I use when it's time to put everything back on. And some things like say your oil pan you're going to want to use a torque wrench since over-tightening it could actually break the bolt and create a huge mess. I don't know if those screws are even necessary at all. I haven't had any other cars with screws holding the disc on. And I'm also not sure about those metal clips at the top of the pads, I've seen them, but only had one car with them and was never sure they made much difference. Two more tips: slide the wheel under the side of the car. I pulled so hard on my calipers on a Focus I used to have that I pulled it off the jack stands while my legs were partially under the car. It was the first day I remembered to put the wheel under the car. The car landed on the wheel, not my legs. And don't do this stuff barefoot. You'll have better leverage with shoes on. Even Crocs would be better than nothing. Good video, though.
@LORDRA1DEN, you mentioned torquing. Do you happen to know the torque specs for the two bolts securing the rear brake caliper bracket and the two bolts securing the rear brake caliper?
@@MrMaxPre I didn't do it to spec, just what felt right based on how hard it was to undo them. Tight, but not overly tight. TBH I'm tired of doing my own brakes. I may start buying the ones I want and having a shop put them on for half the price they usually charge.
My local Mavis told me that the cost to replace rear pads/rotors on my 2021 Hyundai Kona is higher than the front because my car has "electronic calipers" on the rear. This sounds like a total scam to me...are they trying to grab me?
When you turn the cylinder you got to make sure its align with the pin thats behind the brake pads so it does not move when applying on brakes dont look like you did that . The pads wont wear even on rotor and that will screw up your brake job . On the front brakes you dont need to align it. Its because you need to turn cylinder in the back that wy the 2 holes need to be align with the little pin behind beake pads
Thanks, Corey. You’ve helped me with several DIY maintenance jobs on my 2019 Hyundai Kona SEL FWD. I appreciate your knowledge and videos very much.

Thanks man! I had to get that tool to reset the caliper piston before I started the job! Good thing I watched you video before starting the job! 👍

Great tips Shawn! Thanks !
Great instructions, thanks a bunch!! do more videos on Kona's
I plan to, but haven't needed to any other repairs yet.

@@Dann-md9eq Your Dad brings up a valid point. Putting a rag around the reservoir would be a great preventative measure.

Yes, we also have lots of salt here in Ontario, Canada. Yes, both sides were clockwise so that should work out well for you!
Of course I don’t have the special comprehension tool. After 5 minutes of considering building my own tool I found out the wrench on my 4” mini grinder fits like a charm. It took me longer to find the wrench than it did todo the job.
I am considering buying the tool as I have that evil little universal rear brake caliper cube and it’s a bitch to keep it on there
How do u deal with the parking brake setup for awd on left rear tire?
I didnt see that part in the video
I'm not sure if AWD has the same brakes or not.
Thanks
Looking at the manual I can’t find where to place the Jack besides the place u have the back stands. Where did you place it? Thanks

Thank you!
Are the inttructions also good for front breaks? Any major got-yas? Thanks for this video btw! Very informative :)
The front brakes will be slightly different, but the basic concept will be similar.
@@MrCoreyMartin thank you 😊 😁
My 2022 Kona Limited rear rakes don’t look like that
I held the caliper while my friend used long nosed needle nosed pliers to turn the pisyon
Thanks!
What engine is your kona ? What disc size ? Thanks
It is a 2.0L not sure the disc size.
it seems very rusty, how much kilometers is ono odo?
I think around 75,000km. I think its very normal for a car from Ontario, Canada.
Does anyone have poor braking power with Kona? Any remedies?
This Kona brakes very well. Does the pedal feel firm?

That doesn't seem right to me. Especially if you are not replacing calipers.
definitley seems wrong, i got a quote for my 2021 kona and there was nothing about that for my rear brakes

So you can’t just use a c-clamp 😅
