When to replace the brake pads on a Kia Rio?
Do not apply brake caliper grease to the friction surface of the new pads. If your Kia Rio previously exhibited shuddering, pulsations, or vibrations in the rear end during braking, you may need to have your rotors “turned” (resurfaced) or just replace them with brand new rotors.
Where are the pads on a Kia CRDi Rios?
You have probably noticed the rear disk has a large drum like centre. The bit I like about the crdi Rios is that they use disks/pads for the foot brake but they also use the drum and shoe method (enclosed behind the rear disk) for the hand brake. Makes replacement much easier and the hand brake much more effective.
How do you adjust brake discs on a Kia?
Easy enough to adjust back once the assembly is all back together via the star wheel. Good thing about this job is one you think the handbrake is about right on between 3-4 clicks jump back in the car and the rear cup/bottle holder in thecentrehas a carpet base you can lift to check the cables are even.
Where is the dished insert on a Kia Rio?
However, on the Rio in the centre there is a dished insert in the centre, with no obvious way of how to get it out. The only other thing that looks like it does something is a small screw on the front of the hub. Any ideas on how to get into this? Hi M4.

What to do if your Kia Rio is leaking brake fluid?
Bleed the brakes well (use lots of new brake fluid) so that there is no old fluid left in the system. After you are sure you have all the old brake fluid, air and trash out of the system you take the drums and bearings back off and inspect. Check to make sure the brake adjuster adjusted and that the hydraulic cylinders are not leaking brake fluid.
