99 Hyundai Sonata wheel hub bearing assembly replacement

I e-mailed you yesterday about my wife’s ’99 Hyundai Sonata wheel hub bearing assembly replacement. Thanks for the quick reply. However, I’m still not clear on the whole brake caliper removal. The rear wheel does have ABS disc brakes. So when I remove the caliper, will the brake pads stay attached to the caliper? If they don’t, then would I need to bleed the brakes and attach the pads to the caliper?”

No, you don’t have to worry about bleeding the brakes out. You just remove the callipers with the two bolts holding them on. Then slide the calliper assembly off. The pads will probably fall out, but as long as you don’t step on the brake pedal when the calliper is removed, the calliper piston will stay where it is and you just need to put it all back together again (as in, “Installation is reverse of removal.”) The system only needs bleeding if you open a line up and let air in. It’s a pretty simple job, once you do one side, the other is a breeze.
