Going to do my i30 when it stood raining, underseal and breaks. Great video

Just done mine. Used a stepped spanner to get the bottom bolt out of calliper carrier. Worked great

Small bit of advice, if you are going to tap a bolt, put the nut back on 2-3 thread turns and hit the nut. That way the bolt moves and the thread won't get damaged. Obviously you need to take it off before it goes through the hole, but by then it's worked loose.

I agree. In this case the tip of the bolt was nicely tapered, and only light tapping was done. So it was no problem as we could see in this case. (No visible bolt deformation that could be near the thread zone diameter)

I have not done it for a long time watching this video just to catch up. Thanks.

Brilliant video, I've got a Kia ceed and it looks very similar so will be changing the discs and pads shortly 😎

Hi Peter, good video really well done, re a few of the comments, last one meant you normally used to lubricate the back of the disc pads metal side with something like copper slip or a special brake lubricant can't remember it's name (so long ago) and the other point was tightening the suspension arm finally when the wheel was on and the car was back down on the tarmac under it's own weight. atb best rgds Will.

Makes sense! I used to do that on the back of the pads, not sure why I didn't bother on this occasion.

Very useful informative video. The tools list and compressor tool number are very good. Very detailed. I will use WD on the bolts and a bit more copper grease in a few places. Just about to tackle the job and save some money.

Very useful, although as others have pointed out, if you have a cranked ring spanner you can undo that lower bolt on the brake yoke without having to disturb that suspension joint. I also pull out the caliper slide pins and check them for corrosion. They're not expensive to replace. If you go and collect the parts, open up the pads in the shop and check they have the pip on the back to stop the piston rotating. I've been offered ones that don't have the pip even though the motor factors tell me they're the right fit for my car. Finally, there is an online i30 owners club which is a mine of information about faults, repairs, maintenance etc.

@@PeteB My pleasure. I replaced rear pads on my car at 54,000 miles because they became much thinner on drivers side. I suspected the caliper was binding, but having fitted new pads they seem to be wearing evenly. I had to return Bendix pads because they didn't have pip on back of pad. Looked at Brembo pads, they didn't have it either. Went somewhere else and bought Pagid, which did have the pip and were supplied with new shims. As the car was still under warranty, I decided to fit Hyundai pads, the Pagids can wait until the next pad change. The fit and finish of the Hyundai pads is much better than after-market pads. Removing the disc retaining screws, I used a bit of wood long enough to rest on the ground so I had both hands free to turn the screwdriver. One to turn, one to push the screwdriver against the screw so it doesn't slip out.

Good work and nicely showing everything getting done 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Nice work. Thanks for the useful video. I'm planning to change all my brakes on my Kia cee'd from 2013 . But i want to paint all the calipers and everything surrounding the wheels for protection against rust . And every time i will work at undercarriage i will give antitrust protection. You can use the battery of the car to retract the caliper piston, just put some cable with small clamps and it will work very good ( i have done that last time I change the brakes pads) . I want to se more videos when you make repairs to your Hyundai. Keep the good job.

Thanks Daxyno - I don't do much work on the Hyundai as it (was) still under warranty and I don't have a lot of time unfortunately. We'll see what time brings now it's over 110k miles and out of warranty! Ta.

I recently acquired this model, having had the earlier model, some aspects of the brakes are the same, and one aspect warrants mention. The thin stainless steel shims that the brake shoes slide in are stainless so as to try and prevent the sliding faces corroding solid to one another and seizing. They mostly achieve this well, but as they get older I have found a tendency for rust to build up behind the shims and that then tightens up the gap for the prong on the pad to slide in, and this can be enough to make the brakes seize. I have found a wire brush as per your actions is not sufficient to remove this corrosion product and a file is needed to polish up the surfaces that the stainless shim is in contact with. I then grease these surfaces with brake grease (I use ceramic grease rather than copaslip)

I would advise spraying with lubricant before undoing bolts! Thanks for posting.

@PeteB

As the car gets older that can be a benefit to us penetration oil. When using a decent socket set and being careful I try to avoid using it. Using a socket shaped exactly like the bolt helps prevent slippage. Stating the obvious: It's also important where you're spraying this stuff around the braking system - slippy lubricants don't go well with brakes. :)

Great video clear concise instructions

At 7:00 before removing caliper you can wedge a flat screwdriver to expand the caliper piston, otherwise you need a big wrench of wind back caliper tool. I use a screwdriver method even though I own the wind back tool.
