How do you change the brake pads on a Hyundai Tiburon?
Park the Hyundai in an area that affords ample space to work on both sides of the vehicle. Place tire blocks behind the rear tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Put the transmission in “park.” Engage the parking brake. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheels using the tire iron. Lift the Tiburon with the lifting jack.
What happens when you change the caliper piston?
When opening the caliper piston to allow for the bulkier new brake pads, you are forcing the brake fluid from the caliper. Pressing the brake pedal after the replacement will force brake fluid into the caliper, resetting the caliper piston.
How do you change the back of a brake caliper?
Locate the 2 bolts on the back of the caliper that attach to the springs on the side. Fit the end of a ratchet on the bolts and rotate them counterclockwise to loosen them from place. If you can’t get enough leverage to loosen the bolts from the back of the caliper, then attach the socket to a longer breaker bar so you can get more power.
How do you change the brake pads on a car?
Pull the brake pads straight out from their housings on the bracket to remove them from the brake assembly. Check the thickness of your brake pads when you remove them. If they’re less than 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) thick, then replace them as well so you can stay safe while you’re driving.

Can you push back the Pistons on a parking brake?
You should hear the pistons are going back for 2-3 seconds if everything is done right. It is also possible to push back the pistons with 12v+ power and ground, but nothing we will talk about here cause it can damage your parts. You also need to do a calibration afterward, which is difficult without a tool.
Is the left side of the brake caliper left threaded?
This variant is most often found on Japanese cars like Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai and Honda. Just remember that on some cars with these brake calipers, the left side piston can be left threaded, and you have to turn it counter-clockwise to push in the piston.
