  • @5:45 My rear rotors did not come off easily. Even after I broke the rotor free the parking brake shoes were still gripping the inside walls pretty hard (parking brake was not set, btw). Not sure if that tension can be released before pulling the rotors off.

  • @johnmacfarlane3d If I remember correctly there should be a a little toothed wheel you can crank to release them similar to drum brakes. I may be wrong though. You could also add a little heat with a propane torch if needed.

  • Should you bleed the brakes/calipers every time you change the brakes??

  • @ajgree6 No, only if you replace a caliper or have to remove a brake line.

  • I need help with a video on how to replace rear rotors on a 2001 hyundai santa fe.

  • @adethequeen Should be similar, wish I had Hyundai to show ya.

  • @mjgf1 Wish I could help ya but I would say it could be a relay or is that what you already changed?

  • Hi Johnny,

    I have a Nissan Xtrail - this video is perfect fro xtrail as well.

    I have unrelated question: 4x4 warning light came on and is now always on - I changed the break switch 9just in case) - no luck, I checked the wiring only next to the transition box (looks ok). Any idea or suggestion? I took it to a Nissan dealer. They said that they don't have the correct equipment to test a 2001 model!! Disappointing.

    Cheers, M - Scotland - UK
