How to Replace the Rear Brake Disc on a Kia Sorento

Model: Kia Sorento MK 1 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Brake rotors

Learn how to replace the brake disc on a Kia Sorento. Position your car on a column lift, loosen the bolts with a socket spanner, and raise it to a comfortable height for work. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, then start unscrewing the bolts of the brake caliper to detach it from the bracket. Use a screwdriver to detach the brake pads. Now remove the caliper bracket and unscrew the bolts on the brake disc, pulling the disc towards you to slide it off the hub. Clean all dirt and debris from the disassembled parts with a brush. Install the new brake disc with all the associated bolts, tighten the caliper bracket to the disc and the pads, then refit the brake caliper, ensuring all bolts are securely tightened. Before refitting the wheel, bleed the brake caliper and tighten the bolt. Refit the wheel with the bolts, top up any lost brake fluid, and always check the brake pedal pressure.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
