Kia Brake Rotor Removed Today

 Saturday October 11, 2025.

The bad brake rotor finally removed from 2011 Kia Sedona

Woke at 5:30this morning. Got out of bed at 6:30. At 8:00 I tried again to remove the kia brake rotor using a bolt to apply pressure to it. I tghtened the bolt against back side of the rotor. Then loosened it, turned the wheel a few degrees and tightened the bolt again. I did this  a few times and finally it became apparent the rotor was slowly coming off.  I had a couple errands that took me into Watertown. I was back home by 2:00. Did some more painting on the house. Then started to put new rotor on. Discovered the caliper mounting bracket pins and sleeves were seized up. Tried to buy a new bracket but instead bought the entire caliper and bracket assembly. Tomorrow will probably put it on and finish the drivers side rotor / brakes. Still need to do the passenger side. 

Nut and bolt passed through bracket mount holes and applying pressure to brake rotor.
