How to Disassemble the Verna Brake Disc?
2 Answers
1. Check the wear level of the brake disc. During routine maintenance, the brake disc does not necessarily need to be replaced. Determine whether to replace it based on actual conditions. If there are grooves deeper than 3MM on the brake disc, it can be replaced. 2. Remove the front wheel tires. To disassemble the brake disc, first remove the two front wheel tires, and you will see the round disc, which is the car's brake disc. 3. Remove the caliper mounting bolts. The brake disc is mounted on the front wheel bearing and secured by the brake caliper. Remove the two 18mm bolts on the caliper and take off the caliper. Since the caliper is connected to an oil pipe, lower it slowly to prevent the oil pipe from breaking. 4. Remove the brake disc. The brake disc is installed on the front wheel bearing, and rust may form between the bearing and the brake disc. At this point, you can use a hammer to tap the back of the brake disc while rotating it to ensure all sides are tapped. After several taps, the brake disc can be removed.
I've done the job of removing the Hyundai Verna's brake discs a few times myself. First, find a safe, flat area, lift the car with a jack, and place bricks behind both rear wheels to prevent rolling. Then, use a wrench to loosen the wheel nuts but don't remove them completely, take the wheels off and set them aside. Next, handle the brake caliper by using a socket wrench to remove the bolts securing it, being careful not to damage the brake lines, and hang the caliper on the side of the brake with a metal hook. The next step is to remove the retaining screws on the back of the brake disc—usually two—they might be rusted, so apply some WD-40 for lubrication. After removal, check the disc surface for obvious wear or scratches and take the opportunity to clean the caliper bracket. Before reinstalling, ensure the new or cleaned disc aligns with the holes, and don't overtighten the screws. The whole process takes about an hour, and you'll need all the right tools, including a torque wrench to prevent stripping. I always test drive for a few rounds to ensure the brakes are working properly before driving with confidence.
