Changing Front Brake Pads 2000 Accent
#2
Unbolt caliper from it' mounting, and swap pads if that is all you plan to do.
It would be in your best interest to remove the mount bracket, pop the shims off the mount bracket, and file the rust down to bare metal, then re-assemble shims. Now apply lube to the shims where the pads will slide, you want the padds to move freely in the mount, otherwise they will drag, that is why I told you the get rid of the rust.
I want to say the rotors should pop right off, I do not recall those being trapped behind the hub...
