This is a great video. Great lighting. The lady knows her stuff. Thanks so much for giving the torque values during the repair. Often overlooked. Impressed you figured out there was paint inside the new slide pin barrels. I learned a lot here. Thank you very much.
Like that little trick I have a mobile brake business and I literally just tried it 2 days ago worked like a charm!! I put it back together the same way no need to the arm off!! Thank you !!
FYI: Just did this job on my wife's 2013 Tucson. For that lower bracket bolt, I used a 14mm offset box wrench to break the bolt free and undo it a bit until I could get a 14mm ratcheting wrench on it to take it the rest of the way out. If I took that control arm out, I would have to add a tow bill to the repair, to get it to a shop so it could get put back in. There is a reason the arm "magically" appears back in place. NO BUENO!
This is one of the best auto repair videos I have ever seen. Great explanations, great camera angles, and nothing left out. I really appreciate that you included the part about cleaning out the cylinders for the sliding bolts. It's good to see how a real mechanic solves real-life problems. One thing to note -- in my case the lower bolt for the control arm backed out into the shock absorber, which meant I had to take that off as well. Since you showed two different methods of removing the caliper bracket, I knew I was on the right track. Hyundai design engineers need to see this and know what a bad design they created for years 2011-14.
I hate the way the rear brake assembly to work. They deliberately designed so you have difficulty and only the deal can fix it. I did all jobs but couldn't put back the lower control arm . I can't align the side hole of the outer control arm to slide the bolt. She used the long black metal to align the the side holes but no info of name and where to buy it.
Great and valuable video for any Hyundai owner to understand design flaws..for diy, please support axle weight to help with bolt removal and installation. It can be a pain and you can slightly strip threads. Cheers
Nice job. The only recommendation I would have would be to use your spray can of brake cleaner and clean off the brake fluid from the bleeding. It may just be something that didn't get shown in the video.
Women are so much more detailed then men lol don't miss anything, good job, I always like to get on and see what tools I need before I start a job, she didn't miss a thing, great job, as always, best site for repairs on the tube😁😁
Good job Sue. I always watch your videos. Good catch on those slider pins. And shame on Hyundai for a poor design putting that huge control arm in the way
My buddy just did this with out removing the control arm, boy was that a PITA, it can be done tho, THANKS HYUNDIA, also had to drill out the mounting bolts, they will never get put back on and then ill be taking them off on every new car i buy.
Use an alignment tool or 1/4 punch to align the control arm for the bolt. If not, it's not going to align. Place the punch in one side and hammer it until it goes through both sides to line it up.
The guide pin holes should be sprayed out with brake cleaner after honing. Those holes will be contaminated with paint chips. Apply fresh grease after.

Hello @1A Auto. I ran into the same issue with one of the front brake caliper slider bolts. It was lived but would not go in freely. I’m assuming this is what even
I tried that same job yesterday and I could not get that outer control arm bolt and nut off to access the lower bracket bolt..even with with propane on it.. any recommendations? Same car same setup
You can't get the control arm bolt out and back in because the strut is in the way. In order to do it correctly you have to take off the control arm otherwise you risk rounding the caliper mount bolt head. In order to take the control arm off you need to take the shock off. Its a PITA.
why does it say ''Brake Caliper Compressor Tool. Single Piston. Screw Style'' yet you compress the piston with a welding vicegrip ? id like to know as i dont have the tool to compress screw type..wondering if i need it or not
This is a example of Hyundai engineering screw up. Placing the mounting bolt in the control arm bracket worse than having to remove the bumper on a Chevy to change a lightbulb. What are they thinking about in engineering schools?
21:03 you were doing so well showing everything, then you cut out the one thing I wanted to watch, the struggle to get that control arm back in. Disappointed.
That part of the repair was cut out from the video for a simple reason. It is almost impossible to put that control arm back with the tools available at home to a DIYourselfer. At that point, you will forced to tow the car to a shop. See similar comment above from Jeremy Kooyer.
I found that pre-loading the trailing arm, or putting a jack underneath the trailing arm and jacking it up, helped smooth out the process. It was easier to manipulate the control arm back into it's place rather than to hammer it back on.
@@mach2982 just did this repair, totally possible for a DIY'er. It helps to use a jack on the knuckle, it aligns the trailing arm with its slot. The trailing arm could be placed in position with my bare hands. Didn't even need a hammer or crow bar.
Some say not to because the pads need to slide easily across that surface, and grease will collect dust and debris, gunking it up. 10 different ways to skin a cat though
Just completed this job. Wish I saw this video before I started. Saw the alignment tool she used at harbor freight and didn't buy it because I thought it was too long. It definitely would have saved me a ton of time and energy. I removed the control arm completely then connected wheel assembly side first and inner control arm last. I was on the floor not a lift. I had all wheels off and car up on four jack stands. I used a floor jack under wheel assembly to help align control arm bushing bolts. I also removed lower shock bolt for more maneuverability and clearance. With all that said it was still a bear of a job. Another video said to apply brake grease to brake pad tabs so I did. One thing not shown is how to loosen emergency brake shoes before removing rotor and readjust rear emergency brake shoes once rotor is reinstalled. Check out video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCnm0Lf-A1s.html. I'm a licensed aircraft mechanic and am impressed with Sue's skills! Great video. Thank You Sue!
..... eventually caused the broke rotors to wear uneven and thereby causing brake wobble/shutter. The brake pads appeared to be ok and have more brake pad before the wear indicator would make the sound. Well just my 5 cents......... I had to add 3 more cents due to inflation.....sorry for that.
I know it sounds sexist like women aren't equal but she's alot better than most guy mechanics I know it's just not everyday u see a woman working on a car I'm just saying I'm very impressed
