Some cars the front rotors are also the hubs.Not sure about hyundai .The flap in the brake line is a pretty rare but good find.I've seen old diesel fuel lines do that and cripple the big rigs.Most trucks use hard plastic hose for fuel.Problem solved when they stopped using rubber.Not sure what the car place charges for labor but estimated parts are close to 200$$ for front brakes and rotors unless the rotors are just cheap bolt on style then the price is more like 100 -150 $$.Labor for trucks is in the 75-100 dollar mark.Cars I don't know.I'd imagine less because of the flat rate scale.I've seen trucks with disc brakes have the disc break completely away from the center part.I hate doing brakes.Did a 4 wheel rear brake job on a freightliner today.That bill was far over 1G$$.Did the clutch and flywheel on the same rig yesterday along with the steering column and a few tires.My knees are paying the price.
