How do you change the front and rear brakes on a 2005 Hyundai sonata?

Remove tire, remove two bolts holding brake caliper to rotor. Remove caliper with brake hose attached (set on top of rotor or hang with wire to relieve pressure off of brake hose). Slide brake pads off (you may have to gently tap on pads to remove them) and then put new ones on. Compress piston in caliper to make room for new pads with a clamp. Install caliper, install tire.

How do you retract the caliper on the rear brakes of a 2000 Hyundai Sonata?

after getting the brake pads off and have a caliper in your hand,take a c-clamp and position it so it will close on the center of the piston.then make sure the cap for the brake fluid resovoir has been removed allowing the fluid to travel back through the line,then simply,but slowly,twist the c-clamp so it closes,and the piston on the brake caliper will slowly push in.
