Replacement of Rear Brake Discs

Model: Hyundai Elantra XD, MK 3 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Brake rotors

Lift the vehicle and apply suitable axle stands. Then remove the wheel and the brake caliper, which must be taken off along with the pads; also remove the caliper bracket to allow for the subsequent removal of the disc. Unscrew the disc retaining bolt and remove it from the hub. Install the new disc, reattach the caliper bracket and, of course, install a new set of brake pads. When replacing discs, the pads must also always be replaced even if they are not completely worn: the old pads will have the imprint of the old disc and will not adhere well to the perfectly machined surface of the new disc; if you really do not want to replace them, they should at least be ground down with sandpaper.
