You DO NOT add grease as liberally as you did near the friction surfaces of the pads and especially the rotor. It causes glazing and premature break pad wear not to mention decreased brake performance. Grease internally is a mechanics best friend , but when it comes to brakes you need to be very careful.
I hope I did not come off as being condescending man because it's not what I had intended. after reading what I wrote I realize I may have come off that way. thanks for the great videos.
Great video with clear images, excellent light and informative comments. It helped me a lot to understand how to remove the caliperin order to make free a rusted pin.
A few tips to the watchers. Firstly; do not use adjustable wrenches to push the piston back. You are highly likely to damage the piston seal. Gentle with the grease on the slide pins. Too much, and you'll get leakage or burst the boot.Secondly; change gloves. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. The last thing you want is grease on the friction material - which has happened here. Cotton cloth will not get it out. Throw the pads away. Thirdly; no grease on the treads. You will change the coefficient of friction and need greater torque than you think to get the wrench to click. Possibility of breaking bolts. There are better videos around. Try South Main Auto. He knows his stuff.
I have used your video to help me replace my front brake pads on my Hyundai Trajet. I will do the rear pads next. I notice that the caliper piston pushes straight back and you do not need the tool to wind the piston back. Is this correct? If so I will simply use the same clamp as I used on my front brake caliper.
I'd rather use a caliper compressor instead of the channel pliers, so to apply equal pressure on the piston without doing any damage on the rubber. Good to check the brake fluid reservoir before pushing the piston in.
Should not grease bolt threads. They should be torque down. With a torque wrench. You could strip threads or break bolt due to over tightening. Brake carrier bolts usually have some form of thread lock to stop them loosening. Not extra grease. Too much grease on everything else.
Peter, i have Kia Ceed SW 1.6 crdi 2014 year. I want to change rear pads alone, because in KIA is very expensive and not good pads. I want to buy ATE pads and change, but main problem is electronic parking brake. Can I do alone, or MUST be do it in KIA service, cause this EPB? Thanky!
+Peter Finn KIA parts I can order, that is not problem on ebay.com, but can some another Diagnostic tool reset electronic parking brake after changing brake pads or on some another way to reset Electronic parking brake? Thanky on answer.
could you please tell me if there is a way to test if a Input/output sensor (Sonata V6 07) can be tested to see if it is not defected. For example: on Clothes dryer one can tested the parts with a Voltmeter by using the R mode. If there's a certain reading on the resistance, the parts is bad. I would appreciate your help. The thing is that I have already purchased/installed both sensors and the car still reading {once a diagnostic computer is placed} that is not getting signal from the sensors.
And this is the reason why I learn and do my own maintenance stuff. I have to point out couple of things. Way too much grease. Gloves dirty with grease touching surfaces that are gonna come in contact (a k a braking) leading to potential brake failure. Very convoluted way of explaining. DO NOT ever use the grips to unwind the caliper piston. Busted knuckles and potentially clipped boot cover for the piston. Better videos explaining similar procedure(different vehicles) out there. Peace
Peter I no this has nothing to do with this video but could you help me fit daylight running lights to the i30 were is the positive wire on the side lights to tap into there is videos anywhere how to do this on the i30 .thanks
Yes, looks more like a grease job on the brake pads and all. Not sure if it helps. A bit of DW40 would help the corrosion and easier to take the pads out instead of the excessive grease.
way more grease, this is to little. i grease everything what could get some "reddisch" thing (rust) on it. my breakes dont break so good but they also dont rust. win win situation. #sarcasm-off PLEASE PPL DONT GREASE THE BREAKES!!!! FOR ALL GODS in HEAVEN/HELL, DONT DO IT!

+Scott Soriero Hello and Thanks Your comment. :-)
Exactly. Just grease the back of the pads not near the material.
Brake not BREAK
I hope I did not come off as being condescending man because it's not what I had intended. after reading what I wrote I realize I may have come off that way. thanks for the great videos.
+Scott Soriero Hi and Thanks for feedback. :-)
Another very thorough tutorial from Peter. Thank you very much. I love your accent!
caghadiuno Thank You for comment.
Great video with clear images, excellent light and informative comments. It helped me a lot to understand how to remove the caliperin order to make free a rusted pin.
Thank you, Peter. You have saved me $250US by sharing your information. I appreciate it!
+Josh F Hi, thanks for info. :-)
Thank you for a very god video , you have a very pleasent manner and explain very well in your finish english accent
Thanks Sir. 🙂
Thank you for this concise and extensive tutorial. It was a great help!
Thankyou Peter very good information and brilliant camera views
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for the video. Just did my sisters Hyundai for the price of the pads, $23.99 :)
+David Young Thank You for comment. :-)
Very informative, great video just be careful with the lube. Thank you, Peter Finn!

Thank you for work, I learn very much from you
Great to hear. :-)

Very detailed instruction. Great video
Great info and Thanks ! :-)
Thanks Peter very informative video. Will help me replace mine.
+Papa Cisse Thanks for comment. :-)
Hi Peter, no more fixing car at back yard home? You got a nice workshop with car lift :)
axenz axtiz Hello. I will be back also in my backyard. I am now in my friends garage. Her Toyota Celica 1970 is away. :-)
Peter,
i have Kia Ceed SW 1.6 crdi 2014 year. I want to change rear pads alone, because in KIA is very expensive and not good pads. I want to buy ATE pads and change, but main problem is electronic parking brake. Can I do alone, or MUST be do it in KIA service, cause this EPB?
Thanky!
+Forchan Chan Yes, Kia parts are not so common.
+Peter Finn
KIA parts I can order, that is not problem on ebay.com, but can some another Diagnostic tool reset electronic parking brake after changing brake pads or on some another way to reset Electronic parking brake?
Thanky on answer.
Thanks for your help 👍
Would this apply to 2008 Hyundai Tiburon gs?
Excellent video, very helpful!
Thanks Your comment. :-)
I kept waiting for you wipe your fingers sloppy worker but very informative
+senecadaze Thank You for comment. :-)
That's exactly why I won't wear gloves to do this sort of thing. Fingers are way more precise.
could you please tell me if there is a way to test if a Input/output sensor (Sonata V6 07) can be tested to see if it is not defected. For example: on Clothes dryer one can tested the parts with a Voltmeter by using the R mode. If there's a certain reading on the resistance, the parts is bad.
I would appreciate your help. The thing is that I have already purchased/installed both sensors and the car still reading {once a diagnostic computer is placed} that is not getting signal from the sensors.
Hi Sir, sorry. I don't know Sonata technic.
hi dear thanks very much for the great info , but can I use normal grease instant
+Ahmad Ali Yes
Hi, Do you have to adjust the handbrake after rear pads replacement? If yes, how? thanks
Yes, there is adjusting bolt inside.
Thanks. Inside where? After putting the new pads in, is the handbrake gonna be on all the time or the complete opposite?
Hi Peter
Is kia picanto 2012 the same.
And this is the reason why I learn and do my own maintenance stuff. I have to point out couple of things. Way too much grease. Gloves dirty with grease touching surfaces that are gonna come in contact (a k a braking) leading to potential brake failure. Very convoluted way of explaining.

Good comment, me too 👍
thanks
Hi and Thanks for info. :-)
Peter I no this has nothing to do with this video but could you help me fit daylight running lights to the i30 were is the positive wire on the side lights to tap into there is videos anywhere how to do this on the i30 .thanks
Sorry... I have not Kia/Hundai info
Thank you for getting back to me
thanks for sharing ...
+pei bossman Thank You. I appreciate Your feedback.
None of that lubricant really helps much in the long run because is attracts dust and grit and turns to grinding paste or gums up everything
this is the same set up as a 2013 hyundia elantra?
Sorry, it could be.
More grease!!
copper paste everywhere no good only ment a touch on the back of the pads not on the disc and every where else PS change your gloves
Thanks for Your comment. :-)
Yes, looks more like a grease job on the brake pads and all. Not sure if it helps. A bit of DW40 would help the corrosion and easier to take the pads out instead of the excessive grease.
Dude what's with u and all the lube... at least change ur gloves geez
You're moving too slow and unnecessary stuff
OK. Great info.
way more grease, this is to little. i grease everything what could get some "reddisch" thing (rust) on it. my breakes dont break so good but they also dont rust. win win situation. #sarcasm-off
PLEASE PPL DONT GREASE THE BREAKES!!!! FOR ALL GODS in HEAVEN/HELL, DONT DO IT!
Thanks ! Good comment. 😀👍
