Any general instructions, I have an idea, and I've looked at the webtech stuff. Just curious if anyone has an abridged version of installing the front and rear rotors. Any specific tools I need, I was told maybe for the rear I would need something for the parking brake, which I know somoene who has that tool is what he says. Other than that the information I can give you is that I have a 2000 Tiburon, and have already removed the screws that were on the rotors to put on my aftermarket rims.

I've also thought that while I'm doing this I might as well take the calipers off and then sand and paint them properly.

Again any info and help would be much appreciated.

 

The fronts are easy. Just remove the 2 bolts that hold the caliper in, and then remove the caliper. The front rotor then comes right off.

The rears are a bit more, due to the parking brake, but as long as you have the tool to retract the cable, they shouldn't be that hard.

 

Thanks as usual random, like I said I have a guy who has the tool and can help me out.

I guess my other question is should I go ahead and bleed the brakes then too since I'll be doing all this?

And I have new sets of wheel studs too, those should be pretty simple if the rotor is off I'm guessing too.

Any common problems I may come across?

there's really no need to replace the lug studs unless they are damaged. Bleeding the brakes is always a good idea. You should flush your entire brake system every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Oh, only use NEW pads with NEW rotors. DO NOT reuse your old pads with new rotors.

 

Don't worry, got that covered, ordered a set of the KVR pads. The only thing I'm worried about now, is that my friend with the tool for the emergency brake said that it's used to screw the piston back into the caliper? This doesn't sound like the same tool that I am looking for to retain the emergency brake.

But then he works on his 92 mustang, so what does he know suicide

 

the Ebrake setup is basically just a "drum" brake built into the center of the rotor. It shouldn't give you that much grief.

just make sure you remove the cap off the brake fluid resivoir when you push the caliper pistions back in. otherwise you will force the other pistions against the rotors and possibly warp the rotors.
