Replacement of Rear Brake Pads

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

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the rear wheel; then remove the retaining pins of the brake caliper and take it off the bracket; extract the old pads; lubricate the caliper retaining pins; remove the retaining springs of the pads from the bracket and clean them if new ones are not included in the kit. Then apply the new pads; retract the piston in the caliper using a C-clamp and install it back onto the bracket, tightening the retaining pins securely. Repeat the same process on the other wheel. Pay attention during the first braking.
