Replace Brake Pads on a Hyundai Santa Fe

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Brake pads

Need to replace the front brake pads? Here’s how to do it on a Hyundai Santa Fe. Lift the vehicle on a column lift to the desired height, remove the wheel with the respective bolts. Use a socket wrench to undo the locking bolt of the brake caliper and remove it from the wheel support. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads from the wheel hub caliper, then fit the new pads onto the brake caliper. Reattach the brake caliper with the support onto the brake disc, tighten all bolts, and refit the wheel. Proceed to replace the other brake pads (if worn).
