How do you replace a brake disc on Kia Optima?

Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel and install the lug nuts to hold the disc in place, releasing the parking brake if working on the rear brake disc. Remove the brake caliper without disconnecting the brake hose, suspending it out of the way with a piece of wire after removing the caliper bolts. Take out the caliper bracket bolts and remove the bracket. Visually inspect the disc surface for score marks and damage; light scratches are normal, but deep scoring over 0.039-inch requires disc removal and refinishing. Check both sides of the disc, noting that severe wear may necessitate replacement. To check disc run out, place a dial indicator about 1/2-inch from the outer edge, set it to zero, and turn the disc, ensuring the reading does not exceed the allowable limit. Resurfacing is recommended whenever pads are replaced to ensure a smooth finish and eliminate brake pedal pulsation. If not resurfacing, remove glaze with sandpaper or emery cloth using a swirling motion. Ensure the disc is not machined below the minimum allowable refinish thickness, which is cast into the inside of the disc, and measure thickness with a micrometer. Remove the lug nuts holding the disc in place, take out the Phillips-head screws, and slide the disc off the hub. If the rear disc is stuck, remove the plug and rotate the adjuster to back the parking brake shoes away from the drum surface. Place the new disc over the threaded studs, install the caliper and tighten the bolts to the specified torque, bleeding only if the brake hose was disconnected. For rear discs, adjust the parking brake shoes, then install the wheel and lug nuts, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque.

Kia Optima Brake Disc

Kia Optima Brake Disc provides cool and uniform braking action that ensures the safety of passengers when driving on a daily basis or in case of an emergency. The later Kia Optima design uses pads against an exposed rotor, unlike the earlier four-wheel drum designs that faded and pulled, and air is applied to remove heat and preserve the feel of the pedals. Early vehicles had solid rotors, and many trims rapidly changed to vented types with internal fins to be cooled quicker, while others were drilled or slotted on their faces. Two-piece assemblies that feature a distinct hub and friction ring also provide weight reduction and anti-warping capabilities, but each Brake Disc continues to be applied to accomplish the same purpose, converting motion into heat via friction. Front discs were standard, and the newer generations were combined with rear discs in order to do away with drum-associated fade. The squeal, vibration, or longer stops are common, and to reestablish balanced braking, owners may install a complete Kia Optima Brake Disc and pad kit on one axle or all four wheels. The assurance of straight stops is maintained by keeping every Brake Disc smooth and within thickness specifications regularly. A healthy Kia Optima Brake Disc continues to limit stopping distances.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Optima Brake Disc, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Optima Brake Disc, all priced at the market's premier price. Rest assured, every genuine part we offer comes with a warranty straight from the manufacturer.
