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.
