How do you change rotors of a 1995 Elantra?

Answer 1

1. Remove the brake caliper but dont disconnect the brake line also remove the caliper mounting bracket
2. Remove the steering knuckle and take it to properly equipped shop and have the hub flange pressed out of the knuckle then the disc can then be unbolted from the hub
3. On rear disc brakes remove the retaining screw and remove the disc from the hub

Answer 2

After you remove the calipers, they should just come off with a slight tug. If not, then apply penetrating oil around the seam of where the hub and rotor meet, replace the lug nuts- just a few threads, and then tap on the rotor gently with a hammer to help free the rust.

Answer 3

first remove the wheel then you need to remove the two bolts on the back of the brake caliper(this is what holds your brake pads in place) after you have the caliper off be careful to not just let it hang as you could damage the line use a bungy cord to hold it up out of the way now you just pull or smack the rotor off it is not held in place by anything, the caliper and wheel hold it in place and now that they are off it is free it might be hard to break loose because of heat and corrosion but just give it a wack from the back with a rubber mallet and it will come free.

Answer 4

After you have ut some blocks or big rocks behind the rear tires and have jacked up the front endand taken the tire off. You would want to take off the bottom screw that holds the brake pads together. Next take out 2 screws that hold a bracket that fits around the rotor. All that is left to do is take those locking washers off of the bolts (I used a flat head) and hit it with a hammer, rubber hammer if you have 1.
