Kia 0K52Y49980 Front Caliper, Right Without Pad

Always replace the calipers in pairs on the same axle (front or rear) - never replace just one of them. To begin, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the wheels. Next, remove the brake hose banjo bolt and disconnect the hose from the caliper, plugging the hose to keep contaminants out of the brake system and to minimize brake fluid loss. If only accessing other components, support the caliper with a piece of wire instead of detaching the hose. After that, remove the caliper mounting bolts and then the caliper itself, removing the caliper mounting bracket from the steering knuckle or rear knuckle if necessary. For installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring to tighten the caliper mounting bolts (and mounting bracket bolts, if removed) to the specified torque. Install new sealing washers on both sides of the brake hose banjo fitting and tighten the banjo bolt to the specified torque. Proceed to bleed the brake system, install the wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Finally, check the operation of the brakes carefully before driving the vehicle.
