Changing brake pads on the Elantra is a pretty common job. I've done it a few times myself, and it's not too difficult but requires caution. First, gather the necessary tools: a jack, wrench, new brake pads, a C-clamp or brake piston tool. Park the car on a flat surface, engage the handbrake, and use the jack to lift the wheel, placing a stand under the car for safety. Remove the wheel hub, take off the caliper bolts, and carefully move the caliper aside without damaging the hose. Remove the old pads, clean the caliper and brake disc, then use the C-clamp to push the piston back to create space. Install the new pads with some high-temperature grease, ensure they're positioned correctly, and reattach the caliper, tightening the bolts. Finally, reinstall the wheel hub, lower the car, and pump the brakes a few times to reset the piston before test driving. Don't skimp on lubrication or tools—safety first.
