Kia 581902SA50 Front Brake Caliper Kit Right Hand

Starting with 1998 models, change both front and both rear calipers at once instead of just one, according to the maintenance guide. Before you can take off the front caliper, follow these steps: loosen the wheel lug nuts but don't remove them, lift up the front of the car, and set it on jackstands, take off the wheels. Untighten but don't remove the brake hose connection, then remove and raise the guide pins before taking off the caliper from its mounting bracket to unscrew it from the hose. Stop up the hose to protect the inside from exposure and leaking. When you're just working on other parts, don't disconnect the hose and keep the caliper from hanging down. Push the brake pad inside away from the piston to take it off. Simply return the caliper guide pins to their proper position and put torque on the brake hose. Do this carefully to prevent damage and leakage. You need to bleed the brake fluid through the system when the brake line has been disconnected. Put on the wheels and screws holding them to the hubcap. Then lower the car and screw the lug nuts tight. Before you work on the back caliper, loosen and raise the vehicle, put it on jackstands, and take the wheels off. Take off the banjo bolt to free the brake line from its connection to the caliper and put a cover on the end tube. Dispose of the seal washers, replacing them during assembly. Use a wrench to take off the bolts that hold the caliper in place. Then loosen the clip that holds the parking brake cable. Once done, pull the cable away from the caliper before disconnecting it from its mounting bracket. Start by pulling the vehicle to a safe, level space. Reverse the brake line removal steps in reverse: put new sealing washers on either side of the new brake line fitting, tighten the bolts that hold the caliper in place, and finally tighten the bolts that connect the brake line. After assembly, drain the brake system, put the wheels back on, lower the car, and screw in the wheel's lug nuts properly.
