If you’re looking to replace the rear brakes on your 2011 Hyundai Sonata, you’ve come to the right place. Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to easily and effectively replace the rear brakes on your vehicle.
I’m going to walk you through the process, and before we begin, you’ll need a few tools including a 14mm and 19mm socket, a hammer, brake cleaner, and new brake pads and rotor for the replacement.
Firstly, you’ll need to remove the 14mm bolt and the 19mm bolt to loosen the trailing arm. Next, you’ll need to remove the caliper bracket by taking out the two bolts securing it in place. If the rotor is stubborn and difficult to remove, you may need to access the adjuster screw located behind a rubber grommet on the rotor to help free it up.
Once you have removed the old rotor, clean the area with brake cleaner and then install the new rotor. It’s important to remember to grease up both pins of the caliper bracket and then proceed to put everything back in place as per the removal process, ensuring everything is tightly secured.
Finally, make sure to check that everything is properly bolted up and secure before testing out the new brake system. And that’s it, you’ve successfully replaced the rear brakes on your 2011 Hyundai Sonata!
