I just did brakes on my 2016 Sonata. First time brakes were done (I did pads and rotors all the way around. Front was easy and quick. Rear should have been. But those two bolts you had issues with? Mine were almost impossible to remove. The two bolts holding the bracket with the pads started coming off easy enough. But a few turns later it got hard. As in VERY hard to keep loosening. Last time they were touched was on the assembly line. My impact wrench couldn't reach so I used my 22in long ratchet. After 20mins PER BOLT and all my strength they came out. Turns out, Hyundai didn't tap the threads right on that bracket (or not all the way, or they left metal shavings inside it. Bolt was impacted with metal in its threads. Before reassembly I had to retap both holes and chase threads on both bolts. After that it went in easily with just my finger, and tighten to spec. Both sides were like that. Pretty crappy oversight on the assembly line. Rear brake job thanks to those bolts ended up taking me over 3 hours. By comparison, I did the fronts in less than 45mins.

I had to LOL when you said that the caliper bracket bolts aren't something you want to fall off. This of course coming from a fella who once had a caliper bracket bolt fall out, causing the caliper to rotate forward which was now attached by the lower bolt. The caliper then had some interference with the I. D. of the aluminum wheel and crash, bang, boom, a big gaping hole in said wheel, tire flat as can be. Fun times.

It's called bimetallic corrosion I have literally seen that crap eat the bottom rails of trailers in between the rivets that were holding the side panels on. The problem the rivets were steel the rest of the parts were Aluminum. It ate the aluminum so fast the trailers where breaking in the middle.

How did you get the caliper bracket off so quickly? When I did this, one of the bracket fasteners was easily accessible and other one had absolutely no access because a lower trailing arm was in the way. I had to loosen the lower trailing arm on each side, the whole job took about 3 hrs.

Is it best to replace the stainless steel clips, or can you just clean the old ones? Toyota OEM pads do not come with the clips. I guess the torquing comment was 'tongue in cheek' since that ratchet did not look like any torque wrench I have seen.

I had to drill those screws out of the rotors on my 2013 Kia. Nothing worked, impact, chiseling etc. Had me PO'd beyond imagination. I just went up to the HW store and got replacements and just put them back hand tight.

I have 135, 000 miles on my 2012 Sonata, did the front brakes at 120, 000 and the rear still had about half the linings. Good to know how to release the parking brake when I finally have to do them.

I add a touch of grease to the ears of the pads also. Maybe thats wrong but I have done it like that forever and never had an issue. Youre supposed to grease all metal to metal moving parts.
