Great video....I've always been hesitant to do my own brakes, despite hearing how easy it is to do, but your video has given me the confidence to finally attempt this own my own instead of paying a shop to do it for me. Well done!

I’m glad it helped! Let me know how it goes and if you need any help!

Excellent video. I had to replace the brake rotors and pads on my daughter's 2015 Kia Soul. She is VERY hard on the brakes and the car was shaking when she hit the brakes hard. This video walked me step-by-step through the process. I even ordered the impact driver! It works great. Thanks a ton for saving me time and money!

I followed step by step and ran into no issues. Lots of good advice and detailed instruction. Thanks for your help. 😊😊

Best video tutorial! Great safety reminders (I learned to pump them when I couldn't stop) and excellent message to wrap up the vid.

One of the best tutorial guys I have found on KZread. Nicely done Sir.

Out of thousands of videos on how to do things, I find this greatest easy visual demonstration, thank you, subscribed looking forward to more videos like this hopefully.

I could have benefited from this video about 2 years ago when I changed the front brake pads on my 2015 KIA Soul. I don’t know why I didn’t find your exceptional video until just now, long after I had subscribed to your channel. Your business is located quite close to where I grew up. The only advice I would add to yours in this video is to loosen the cap on the brake master cylinder while compressing the piston. Then remember to tighten the cap on the master cylinder afterwards. Good content! 👍

Thank you so much for this video. I just changed the rotors and brake pads on my 2014 Soul and your video was invaluable.

Great step-by-step video. I ordered new brake pads and rotors for my 2016 Kia Soul. Hopefully the job goes as smoothly as yours *fingers crossed*

How did it go? I have a 2017 but I don’t have the funds to take it to a shop and I’ve had a bad experience before where a shop was intentionally trying to get more money out of me :/ so I want to try this myself

I just subscribed. This has to be one of the best videos I've seen. Right to the point without stupid music, great info. Thank you!

If you ever want to do a DIY this is the guy to watch awesome video! Thank you for taking the time out to make it.

It's a masterclass for front brakes. Thank you.

Dude, thanks a lot. Your video was precise, and you did not skip any point.

Yes kudos to the video man good no crazy music no nothing good video straight to the point love it

You give very precise instructions thank you.

Thanks for the awesome video! I hope that this also works the same for my 2012 Soul. I want to change my brakes after the garage I took my car to charged me over 300 for the back ones. Easy and very detailed explanations! Subbed!

The brake service procedure for 2010-2015 Kia Souls is similar.

Excellent video!

Thanks for this great guide. God bless you!

Nice explanation man good job

Excellent video! Thanks so much.

Awesome vid!! Love your videos brother.

Awesome video. I'm going to use this with my kia soul 2016.

Awesome video only 6 min in thank you & appreciate you

Super helpful! Just saved me hundreds.

Thank you for an excellent video. Big help!

Very straightforward

Nice video, It worked for me. Thank you for taking this time to show us how to do that. Have my "like"

Really helpful.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this yet but before I go do a job, I get a quick course at The Car Care Nut University. I'm gonna go put my tools together now to tackle this job in 1 hour or less. Thanks so much for your expertise sir!!!

Thank you, for great video

Thank you. Helped my son change his for less than $70. Dealership wanted $600.

Awesome - thank you!!

thank you, very helpful

Perfect! Thank you

Thank you

Wow, so easy to understand, I'm in

can you do a video of the rear brakes on a kia soul plus

Love the music

Great video. You made it seem so easy. One question, you said to make sure you pump the breaks before driving. Is that with the reservoir cap on or still off? Thanks

Thanks for the great video. In searching for rotors, I’m finding 280mm and 305mm matching up with the 2017 Soul base model. Any way to quickly tell/predict which one I have before taking off a tire and measuring?

What year is this? I see you said 2012-2015 are similar set ups, but this is not 2015-2019. There is more hardware and the caliper is not open, it’s closed. But it is a great tutorial video! Same principles apply to most brake jobs, minus drums.

I just drilled out the heads of the 2 retention screws since their only purpose from what I understand is to hold the rotor in position at the factory to facilitate the assembly. This was very useful for me since I owned at the time a horrible 2009 Sonata where the rear brakes were CONSTANTLY noisy but even worst seizing (3 calipers in 18 months!!!), even with quality aftermarket parts (and yes replaced the hoses and flushed the brake fluid). I was constantly disassembling and cleaning/lubricating the rear assembly. Any thoughts on what the heck was going on there? the Sonata was 5 years old at the time with less than 60,000miles (I live in Quebec = major salt belt!)

There’s a big debate in the auto industry about the screws that hold the rotors. Some say that it’s used to hold the rotors, however there’s another more proven theory which is hub design, in Toyota for example the hub and the rotors interfere and the hub located the rotor in the middle. On that Kia it does not and you could actually move the rotor. My argument with the first theory of assembly. I have been in an assembly plant and trust me big manufacturers will make every step to save pennies on production. They would have reused those screws between cars. Also why does Toyota rotors don’t have that, Toyota assembly plants are not safe? Not a chance. The sonata is known for the rear brakes seizing up due to the toad salt. Regularly servicing the brakes by cleaning everything and making sure nothing is seized is the only way to keep it going without issues

Only use silicon lube/grease on rubber components with caliper pins. Using bearing grease or any type of other grease causes the swelling of the rubber. Not excessive grease per say.

8:46 Would the reverse flow of brake fluid to the master cylinder possibly cause damage to the ABS pump? This did happen to me when I did brakes on my old 2006 Buick Regal.

Is the process exactly the same for the rear brakes on a 2015 Soul? Thank you.

My 2017 KIA has extra hardware has the 2 chrome metals plus 2 small like a wire that goes in the holes of the brake pads and holds it. Will be a problem if I don't replace it ?

great video except I am going to disagree about not greasing the caliper pins. They should be taken out, cleaned off (bolts and the holes, use brake cleaner), and new grease (like sli-glyde) should be put on.

Nice video. Curious, why apply grease on the hardware vs under the hardware?

Hi! You want to help the pad move more freely and applying it under the hardware doesn’t really accomplish that.

@ferndog1461

Under the hardware application of grease is to slow the accumulation of grime there. I learned that the proper amount of grease on the caliper bolts is when the bolts stay retracted. That's a new detail for me to Watch out for.

Just did my front on 2022 November.

Can you tell me how a professional tells me no to put anti-Zeese or brake grease under the fitting kit but also recommended putting on top that will attract more dust? at 10:50 you have a pin with rubber. You must use a real good grease for that rubber, and never put grease at the end of that pin, after the rubber. That is the problem with the pin coming out because it creates a bubble.

You make a difficult job seem easy

What side does the brake pad sensor go on

Do you bed the new pad with new rotor? Do dealer do that too? Thanks

Driving them for a few miles usually does that. Dealerships typically take the care for a short test drive as well.

Muy vien.

Are the rear brakes done differently?

@davidbloomberg9494

Depends on your Parking Brake type. Otherwise very similar to fronts

But the Rear Piston Compression method is different

Is this the same process for a 2012

Break the new pads & rotors in as specified in included instructions or look it up.....

Just pump the brakes? No need to bleed?

Yes. No need to bleed them if you didn’t open the hydraulic circuit which if you’re just replacing pads and rotors like this video you won’t open the hydraulic circuit

The Kia Soul seems to be a reliable car. I don’t have significant experience with Kia in general but this car is owned by a friend and they seem to have little issues with it and seems to be reliable so far. Toyota in my opinion has it more reliability than some Kia models.

great video thankyou.................

Thank You

You did not inspect clean or lubricant the slides

Excellent video!
