Way to break it down for all of us that don't know what we're doing! Changing the brakes on my vehicles used to be a job I would with my pops for years.

[@DIYautotech]

There’s no better bonding than learning a skill from you pops! Passing down knowledge. Thanks for watching

One of my rotors did NOT want to come off, so I sprayed some PB Blaster where it meets the hub. Gave it a few minutes to soak in and then the mallet broke it loose. Great video, thanks.

Thank you fir this tutorial. My rig didn’t even have shims from the previous owner. I bought some OEM pads/shim kit, everything is great now!

[@ekin408]

Great video. Very detailed and without unnecessary banter. I look forward to more 4runner videos.

I had multiple strokes heart and brain problems with remembering things that I have done Thank you for sharing with us I have brain issues Take care of your self and eat your vegetables

Man…watching and hearing the way you work is like looking in a mirror. Always thought I was being too OCD with everything but looks like you validate my workflow! Only thing I’m hesitant on is anti-seize on the wheel lugs, but it’s usually a highly unlikely scenario that they just back out for no reason. But anyways, thank you so much for this well thought out and thorough walkthrough! Didn’t realize the slide pins would be so cheap, so went ahead and got those as well. Thanks again!

Excellent video. Thanks for posting this. I'm at 173+K miles on my 2000 4Runner. Just starting having the wear indicator squeal on the original front brake pads. Needless to say - I'll be going back with OEM parts.

[@marksinclair1173]

Thanks for the video! A very detailed and clear tutorial. I will be doing the pads and rotors on my 02 4Runner in the next few days and I will be using this video as a guide.

[@EAUTODR]

Love the video , great tips ! I love the safety measures and clear explanations ! Thanks for sharing !

[@vaiker.]

Great job, answered all questions. Look no further than this video if you need to do your brakes.

[@TubaSolotheHiker]

Good stuff Tony!

[@Matthew-Dunn]

Very informative video. You certainly have a knack for teaching. Keep up the great work!

[@DIYautotech]

Thanks man. Edited out about 2 hours of my jaw yacking!

[@supersymun]

Funny, just did mine last night…. For those in the rust belt a 10mm bolt is needed to pry off the rotors.

[@DIYautotech]

As long as you’re not reusing the rotor, yes! Or running a larger bolt and nut threw the caliper housing into the back of the rotor. I’ve never seen that NOT work.

[@Jadem4]

Nice video, im not sure if I would have put anti seize on the lug threads, though..

[@cullumstirling]

Great job with the video man! I just wanted a quick recap before I start on my brake job.

[@mikenc1986]

Any videos on how to drill and get those brake line bracket bolts out? Broke both sides of mine today😂 zip tie atm is doing the job

[@enk_10]

thanks really helpful

[@Grandpa_Boxer]

Great video! Question: I've been told my 2002 4Runner has "F-16" brakes- I have a metal shrieking sound occasionally (not when applying brakes)- I'm told it's my "brake hydraulic actuator" and mechanic wants $2260 to replace saying once it goes, I'll have NO brakes. Does this sound true? Thank you!!

[@tommeyer6033]

Index wheel with rotor? What? Excellent vid, thanks.

[@jacobliddiard158]

Are the OEM breakpads semi-metallic or ceramic?

[@peterpedroso3279]

What is the best way to bleed brakes 2000 4runner?

[@Gr8gazoo1]

Don’t you have to bleed your breaks after you do the pads?

[@doughyink8980]

Your need for an answer is likely long gone, but others may have the same question. If your brake lines remain closed so that air cannot enter the system, then you should not need to bleed the brakes. However, you should test your brakes to make sure they feel right. If the brakes feel spongey or react slowly, then bleeding the brakes may be necessary.

[@Jadem4]

No, only when replacing the caliper usually.
