Re: Brake adjustment [Re: osirus] #772013 12/14/06 02:42 PM Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 645 Oklahoma City, OK A Airdale73013 Rock Warrior All of the brakes on the Sportage are self adjusting. If you have a good firm pedal and it does not go to far you should be good. 2009 Sorento LX, 4x4, V6, Auto, Red Re: Brake adjustment [Re: Airdale73013] #772014 12/14/06 10:07 PM Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 11 O osirus OP Need a Spot what is the torque for the lugs on the 2001 sportage?

My wife and I spent the better part of yesterday pulling off the damn rotor. we used a small butane torch to loosen all the rusted on areas and then just started hammerin' away with a mallet. We couldn't get the piston to go back in so we opened the fluid lines on both the front brakes and then bled the system. I haven't driven it yet, because i wanted to torque down the wheels. Thanks for all the help everyone. Eddie and Lacie.

Does that get sealed with silicone? I took it off but I don't remember if it was siliconed on there or not. Thanks - Eddie.
