How to Change Brake Pads on a Hyundai Tiburon

1. Park the Hyundai in an area that affords ample space to work on both sides of the vehicle.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheels using the tire iron.
3. Lift the Tiburon with the lifting jack.
4. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheels from the lug-nut bolts.
5. Remove the caliper bolts.

When replacing the rear brake pads on a vehicle with an electric parking brake what additional step is required before removing the caliper?

The electric parking brake system uses the brake pads and rotors in the braking system. It has control over the caliper pistons. To remove the rear brake pads, you need to compress the caliper piston first. You won’t be able to do this if parking brake is set.

Do you need a caliper reset tool?

Due to the brake piston’s design, the brake caliper tools are special tools generally used for pushing the brake piston so that the brake pads can easily be replaced. But in case you are stranded, and you do not have this tool in your truck to assist you in pushing back the brake piston of your vehicle. No worries!

How does a screw in brake caliper work?

There is a cone behind the piston and it moves with the piston when the foot brake is applied. When the parking brake is operated, the brake lever turns the screw on which it is mounted (it also is an an adjusting screw threaded through an adjusting nut). The nut can’t turn because it’s splined into the cone.

Why do rear brake pistons rotate?

The parking brake system uses a rotating screw inside the caliper that will push the caliper piston out when parking brake lever is rotated on the caliper. When the caliper piston is pushed back in it is required to screw the piston in while pushing it back.

What makes disk brakes retract?

Fluid pressure inside the caliper pushes one or more pistons outward to apply the brake. When the brake pedal is released, hydraulic pressure drops and the calipers loosen their grip. When the brakes are released, the piston seals retract the pistons, allowing the rotor runout to kick the pads away from the rotors.

Do disc brake pads always touch rotors?

YES! the pads are supposed to touch the rotors! They are always touching, it is when PRESSURE is applied that the brakes actually apply force to the rotor surface thereby slowing the vehicle down.
