I assume this service was quoted by a Hyundai dealer. If it is, one of the big differences is that they'll use Hyundai parts, which in my opinion are much better than any parts you could get at AutoZone. If I were you that's what I would buy. You could still do the work yourself to save you on labor costs, which is probably the biggest part of the $900 quote.

Might have to do that. I will call to find out pricing. Is there anyway to get around doing the pressurized flush? Or is that essential...I figure it would be easiest to do that while im down there with all the parts removed. I would like to avoid taking it back to the dealership and giving them another chance to take advantage of my backside.

Go to an auto parts store and buy the Hayne's or Chilton's manual for your vehicle. It has step by step instructions. You should be able to do it if you have someone to help you. It isn't that difficult. Good luck.

Santa Fe Rotors - front removal - Is this guy nutz??
Well Done NR...solid add-ins for the good procedure question!!
Now my issue here:
I have an '02 Santa Fe GLS 5-lug fronts.
Removed caliper, bracket and 2 phillips-head retaining screws (drilling 1 out)
Rotor does not budge....at all.
Saw this article on eHow, and started making up new swear-words almost instantly.....:
How to Replace the Rotor in a Hyundai Santa Fe | eHow.com
Just about removing the entire front end to get the rotor off??? Is this guy over-medicated??
Please advise..
Thanks

1: Buy Parts
2: Loosen up lug nuts and jack up car.
3: take off tires
4: take off calipers(are there any special steps with this, from what I remember these slide off when bolts are taken off)
You have to remove the 2 bolts holding the calipers to the bracket. Do not disconnect the line. Just hang the caliper out of the way. Then you have to remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper bracket to the spindle before you can remove the rotor.
5: use impact screw driver to remove phillips head screws that hold on rotor
6: put on new rotors
And reinstall the caliper brackets.
7: Do I bleed the lines here? If so is there a special order in which to do this? For example Rear Driver side first, rear passenger second, front passenger third, and front driver side last? MOST CONFUSED ABOUT THIS SECTION....
There is no reason to open the master cylinder or the lines just to change the pads or rotors. Unless the fluid is old and needs changing, don't touch it.
8: push down the thing that pushes the pads together
9: grease the non braking side of the new pad
No, you put some grease on the places where the pads slide on the caliper bracket, not on the back of the pad.
10: Insert new pads.
11: reinstall caliper
12: Put tire back on, lower the car
DONE!

Whatever you do, don't use DOT 5 "silicone brake fluid" designed for racecars that have their fluid changed weekly. DOT 5 must not be mixed with conventional brake fluids, and has only disadvantages when used in a street-driven car.

If it's original, yeah, probably. How does it look?
