I spent four years working on the shop floor as an hourly employee of General Motors, in the Oldsmobile factory. For a I made 3, 600 air-conditioner pump-brackets. Three bolts held them to the engine block, covering the #5 spark-plug. This was pre-platinum, and the spark plugs needed their gap set every 6, 000 miles. We had nothing but scone for the engineer who designed this bracket. Oh those were the days! A tune-up consisted of changing the oil & oil filter, greasing everything, setting the spark-plug gap, resetting the timing, and rotating the tires. This was 1974, and the tires were not radial, but bias-ply. There was no synthetic oil, and the oil degraded significantly in 6, 000 miles. Everybody in the factory had utter scorn for any car owner who did not get the specified oil change. My building was attached to the engine factory, where they machined the engine parts, and assembled the engines. My future wife reamed, to a high tolerance, the connecting rod bolt holes.

I got some bad news for everyone 4: 40 you can wiggle it off with the rotor. I watched your video and took that as a challenge.
Heres what I did. Got it off in 4 mins.
Get the rotor lose. Then using a 12mm closed end wrench back the bolt all the way back to the strut till it can't move anymore this will force the bracket all the forward. Using a large flat head pry between the bracket pushing it forward. You'll be able to see the treads. Pry back till you see the end of the bolt. (If you want You can even slip down a small screw driver at the top of the bolt to prevent it from moving froword, I didn't) Once you can see the end of the bolt keep prying on it and move it out at the same time. I did it by prying it and pushing the flat head forward and then down. Getting it back in is a lot more easier. It will come off with out the rotor coming off all the way but when putting it on put it on with the rotor.

Best video out there for changing rear brakes on this feat of engineering. Definitely saved me a few headaches.
One thing I wasn't able to do is get to the hidden screw without completely dislodging the control arm. In case anyone else out there had to do the same, it's much easier to realign it if you jack it up (the same spot as in the video) and the alignment bar is an absolute must.
Probably breaks even with the suggested process since you can then get to the screw with an impact very easily instead of squeezing by.

Used this video for my 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. Watched this about 5 times. Was following directions(everything smooth as can be) stuck get trying to get the rotor loose for about 2 hours. Trying almost anything I could without damaging anything. Then I had an amazing idea ( TAKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OFF ) came right off! Then reassembled and turned out wonderful. Will do the other tomorrow and the front axle pads/rotors as well. LOVED YOUR VIDEO
SIMPLE&EASY to the point.

I was good upto 14: 00, I can't get the bolt inserted into that hole. I spend two hours and gave up now. I don't have prybar and probably have to take my car toed to mechanic tomorrow to fix it for me
If anyone got any suggestion, appreciated
So far I used DW40 to make it smooth, but for some reason always one end the whole is a bit higher than the other end. Not sure if I hammered it to much to make it like that

Well, I'm an amateur when it comes to working on cars, and decided to jump in and try to replace my Wife's rear pads and rotors on her 2012 Tuscon. Well that control arm threw me for a loop as nothing like that came up in any of my previous research. Oddly enough it wasn't in the service manual I downloaded either. Thank you so much for filming a quality step by step instruction on how to navigate that obstacle.

thanks, I'm just getting ready to replace the brakes which I've had for some time on an 08'sonata. possibly the hose to on the pass. rear as I ran over a piece of 2x4 someone left on the on ramp for me and now is leaking at the pass rear caliper area. doesn't seem like it should be the caliper but I have it in case. again thanks for the preview

I just finished fronts and rears on my 2014 Sonata. The fronts took an hour. The rears took me 2. 5 but would have been longer had I not watched your video. I completely disconnected the control arm from the knuckle so I could get a 6 point socket on that hidden bracket bolt. I used a bottle jack to manipulate it back into place

No doubt the no gas in the car. Was DEFINITELY a woman sonata owner. I bet you anything! My mom has the same exact issue with hers. She even asked me once son what is that blinking light thingy on my gas gauge thingy? SMH. Uhhh it means PUT SOME FREAKING GAS IN MY TANK OR ELSE I AM GOING TO DIE! AND YOUR GONNA BE WALKIN! lol
