Can some one give me specific instructions for replacing my front brake pads on a 2005 Tucson Hyundai? I don't want to make any mistakes and not take anything off that doesn't need to be taken off. Thanks.
Jack the front of the car up, and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the wheel, remove the 2 guide bolts (located on the back of the caliper), and remove the caliper, hanging it by a coat hanger or wire to keep pressure off the brake line. Remove the pads and shims. Clean rotor with brake parts cleaner, and install new pads/shims. Repeat on other isde. Check with the parts store to see whether or not you need to use anti-squeak compound for your specific brake pads. Once you install them, you will need to bed the brakes to get the most use out of them. Accelerate to 30mph, then hard brake to zero (5-10 times), then repeat but to 60mph and hard brake to zero. Do this a couple times, and you will get very long life out of your brakes.

Hi there! I just bought hyundai starex model 2009. my problem is I used the van for only few days ( travelled for only 300 km) the clutch broke up emitted smoke with foul odor. the dealer changed the whole clutch system and advised me not to always use the clutch. my problem is we are living in a mountainous terrain and I always pass in a heavy traffic, making their advise so impossible to do.I told the dealer my problem and suggested if I can change my unit but they refused. I am posting this for your technical and legal advice. thanks
