Another DIY for ya guys, this one for the rear wheel hubs, on my 03 Tiburon GT V6 6sp, but i think this is the same for everyone.
Parts to buy:
1. new hub assembly
2. new flange nut
3. new rotor screw
Tools Needed:
1. Air compressor
2. sockets
- 13/16
- 14mm
- impact screwdriver bit
- 1 1/4 inch
3. Brake Kleen
4. PB Blaster
5. floor jack and jackstand
6. Needle nosed pliers
7. a couple of flathead screwdrivers.
8. hammer
9. anti-sieze compound
tools you might need:
1. 3 jaw puller (available in your local auto parts store's "loan-a-tool" program
This is how we start.
Step 0. Read this DIY over first and throw some PB Blaster on every nut, screw, etc. that has to come off.
Step 1. take off wheel. use air ratchet with 13/16 socket. then we find the brakes to do.
Step3: pull off the screw holding the rotor to the hub. use your impact gun with a screwdriver bit on the end to get this off. Use some PB Blaster to loosen the rust and such. it's circled on the pic but i never found one on my rotor.
NOTE: use a regular screwdriver at your own risk. these screws are on there good and prone to stripping or snapping, and if you get unlucky enough, will keep you from taking off the rotor until you drill it out.
Step 4. unhook the E-brake cable. lock-jaw needle-nosed pliers is what i use to pull that little clip up, then you can wiggle the cable out of that little holder. alternately, you can wedge a flathead screwdriver in there to push it up. next go to the caliper where the cable connects and slide the little nub out of its holder.....
step 5. Use your 14mm to remove the 2 caliper mounting bolts. remove the caliper and set it aside, tie it hanging with a coathanger, etc.
step 6. throw some more PB blaster on the Caliper mounting brackhet bolts. wait a couple of minutes then remove the 2 caliper mounting bracket bolts. then remove the rotor and set it aside.
no picture here guys, sorry, but they should be super easy to find.
step 7. find the dust cap in the middle of the rotor. put a thin-bladed screwdriver between the face of the hub and the dust cap and tap a few times with the hammer to wedge it apart. turn the rotor slightly and find another spot to wedge, and repeat that until you get all the way around, and you should be able to pop off the dust cap...
step 8. Use your 1 1/4 socket to remove that flange nut, then either your hands or 2 small screwdrivers to slide out the washer behind it.
step 9. now the hub should just slide out, but it didn't for me. so i used a puller set up like the picture to pull the hub assembly off....
step 10. Brake Kleen the shaft the hub sits on, slide the new hub on, slide the washer onto the shaft, put the nut on and tighten it down. when you tighten it down, take a hammer and flathead screwdriver and stamp the end of the nut into the groove in the shaft like you found it.
step 11. put everything back the same way you got it off, make sure to BrakeKleen the rotor good and throw some anti-sieze on the caliper bolts so they come off when u go to do your next brake job...

Caliper Mounting Bracket bolts: 48-55 ft-lbs
caliper mounting bolts: 16-24 ft-lbs
Flange nut: 148-192 ft-lbs
