Kia 581012SA51 Front Disc Brake Pad Kit

For Sportage models, the same repair process covers both front and rear brake discs. First, pop off the brake fluid cap, take out the wheel nuts, lift the car, and put it on two stable jackstands. Get rid of the wheels, look thoroughly at the brake disc, and follow the right steps to have it shorn when necessary. Push back the piston into the 2004 and earlier models' bore using a C-clamp without wasting any brake fluid. First clean the brake assembly with brake cleaner, then take off the anti-rattle spring if you have it, and remove the caliper and brake pads from the wheel. Mount fresh brake pad sets, treat worn pin covers with oil, then tighten everything securely. Just like for the 2005 and later models, start by cleaning the brake assembly and checking the guide pins and rubber boots. To change the rear brake pads on 1997 and previous models you should clean the component, push out the pad locking pins, and insert new inner and outer pads without letting brake reservoir fluid leak over. At last, put the wheels back on the car, fasten the lug nuts onto the tires, bring the car down, tighten the lug nuts, push and release the brake several times, and check the fluid level. Then drive through a safe, plain area to see if the brakes work as expected.
