Some things I COULDN'T figure out. How do you take the parking brake off? I messed with that clip for like 30 minutes, tried prying out the sides and I just couldn't get it off. Also, in pic 16 the back bolt is blocked by a trim piece which is self tapped in. At least I think. How the hell do you take the little black thing off / fit a wrench in there?
For the front bushings, no one in the whole hyundai dealership had a cup that fit. I found a 3 1/8" hole saw and it fit PERFECT. Get a threaded bolt, 3 nuts, and a bunch of washers for equal force. Put one nut on one side and 2 on the side of the hole saw and tighten the single nut. It came 85-90% of the way out before it bottomed out and we just hammered it out with a small cup that fit in. It was a 65/14 oil filter socket. 9$. Taking those out was super easy.

Pic 6 shows the end of the ebrake cable at/under the handle.
You push in and depress the spring (till it clicks) to create some slack in the cable at the wheel, then you can unhook the clip.
I think I either removed or partially removed the trim pieces covering the V-Brace.
I'm far away from my car at the moment, but I think there was a 2 piece plastic body rivet.
Memory is that I used a razor blade to pry out the center push pin of rivet.
