Jim, your an expert on brake replacement, you make it look too easy. Great job. Your customers must feel assured of getting a quality job at your shop. Thank you for sharing. John G.
Nice video!!! Knowledgeable, and thorough explanations along the way without getting too long winded/ rambling unnecessary details. I appreciate the help
Thank you for the good advice. I've done breaks before, but it's been awhile. So, getting a good look at what I would need and the do's and don'ts helped me get er done. Much appreciated.
I have been told that squeezing the piston in the manner that you did on cars with ABS will potentially damage the ABS unless you open up the bleeder valve; does that sound correct? Also, what was the torque required for each of the bolts? I'm thinking for the Front/rear guide bolt is 16-23 ft/lbs and Front knuckle bolt is 60-72 ft/lbs.
I never thought about putting the caliper bracket and brake on together...im going to try that next time...looks so much easier than what i normally do
Thanks for making this! I'm about to tackle this on my 2012 Sonata. Is it ok to use some brake cleaner on the caliper itself after I compress the piston to clean it up?
Thanks Jim, very helpful! The inner pad you removed had the caliper shim which I did not see you reinstall. Should that have gone back on the new pads?
Aye Jim I changed my brakes and rotors on my 2013 sonata and once I accelerate or get to decent rate of speed I hear what sounds like a clicking noise. Would you know what that might be?
Excellent video... But not the best video to watch while merging into traffic. I heard the screeching of the tires and I instantly thought that I was going to have an accident. Jesus Christ I almost snapped my neck looking left and right.
Crapped in my pants at the end, lol! But seriously, I really like how clear and honest your videos are, Jim. What are your thoughts on actually torquing those caliper bolts to spec?
Jim, when you were pushing the piston back in the caliper, would would you do if brake fluid started to leak out? Would you replace the caliper or replace the seal. Thank you for the videos, I2ve started working on my car again because of your help.

Thank you for watching.
Thank you for your video. I was able to follow it step by step and made my job 10X easier and save me a couple benjies.
Glad it helped!

About to tackle this project on the exact same car this weekend. Thanks for the clear walkthrough of it all!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic walkthrough. You just saved me hundreds.

Jim the brake master! I might give changing brakes a shot now. 😁
😂😂
Or I can come over and we can do yours together.
@@jimthecarguy you are welcome anytime. 😉
Your best videos are when you solve issues like a detective employing deductive reasoning.
Thank you for watching and your input.
Great video, thanks for all of the good reminders.
Glad it was helpful!
You answer my question. From your rear brake job.. Good Work. Waiting on my Rotors to come in to do mine..👍🤙
Love those impact drivers! They can be life savers! Nice video Jim!
I love my impact driver. I've been using one since my motorcycle day's when I was young. Thank you for watching.

Awesome thank you ✊🏿✊🏿

Thank God for you ‼️‼️
Thank you Jim.
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
I there any big/important difference when replacing the pads and rotors on a 2013 Sonata Hybrid? This video was so clear and informative, thank you!
Excellent thank you

Some of the new pads have the shims bonded to the new pads.Thanks for watching.
What the heck is the tool called that he uses to reset the caliper piston? I can't find it anywhere!

Yes torquing the bolt is alway a good idea. Thank you for watching.
Why no list of tools needed
Is there anything else to take into consideration when doing the rear brakes on the same car?
Jim, when you were pushing the piston back in the caliper, would would you do if brake fluid started to leak out? Would you replace the caliper or replace the seal. Thank you for the videos, I2ve started working on my car again because of your help.
I'd replace the caliper... to replace the seal, it can be tricky and care must be taken not to pierce the boot or seal.
Thank you for answering him Cuba
As Cuba said replace the seal is not easy. So replacing the caliper is the best thing to do. Thank you for watching.
@@CubasAutomotive Thank you Cuba, I thought that would be the way to go.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the detail step by step on the job video. What's your email? How to reach and share pix for an expert advice?
God bless you!
If people only knew that fixing your own car can save you thousands
Jim I have 2005 Isuzu Ascender. It cranks but doesnt start. I change battery no different.
If it cranks but don't start you will need to check to see what is missing. Such as spark, fuel, compression and injection pulse. keep me posted
Why bother putting the little screws on the rotor they are absolutely of no importance it’s a waste of time
Granted, they are not necessary, but I find it easier to reassemble if they are there
