Note: Ensure your vehicle is in a safe and level location, and you have the appropriate tools.
1. Chock the wheels: Place chocks behind the wheels that are not being worked on to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
2. Loosen the lug nuts: Use a lug wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel that is next to the brake rotor you want to remove. Do not remove the lug nuts completely at this point.
3. Raise the vehicle: Jack up the vehicle until the wheel with the loosened lug nuts is lifted off the ground. Use jack stands to secure the vehicle in this raised position.
4. Remove the wheel: Remove the lug nuts completely and take off the wheel.
5. Remove the brake caliper: There are usually two bolts that hold the brake caliper in place. Use a wrench or socket to loosen and remove these bolts. Be careful not to lose any of the bolts, washers, or other small parts.
6. Remove the old brake rotor: Once the brake caliper is removed, you can slide the old brake rotor off of the wheel hub.
7. Clean the wheel hub: Before installing the new brake rotor, make sure to clean the wheel hub thoroughly with a wire brush or brake cleaner. This will remove any dirt, rust, or other contaminants that could interfere with proper braking.
8. Install the new brake rotor: Place the new brake rotor onto the wheel hub and align the mounting holes. Use the bolts from the old brake rotor to secure the new one in place. Tighten the bolts until they are snug, but do not over-tighten them.
9. Reinstall the brake caliper: Place the brake caliper back onto the wheel hub and secure it with the bolts that you removed earlier. Tighten the bolts until they are snug, but do not over-tighten them.
10. Install the wheel: Place the wheel back onto the wheel hub and secure it with the lug nuts that you loosened earlier. Tighten the lug nuts until they are snug, but do not over-tighten them.
11. Lower the vehicle: Use the jack to lower the vehicle until it is back on the ground.
12. Test the brakes: Pump the brake pedal a few times firmly to ensure the brakes are working properly before driving.
Remember to always follow the guidelines provided in the vehicle's owner manual for specific details related to your Hyundai Accent.
