One thing for our fellow DIY. Open the brake fluid reservoir slightly and or verify that the fluid level is not close to the top just before compressing the caliper pistons otherwise the fluid will spill over and make a mess. Best not to leave the reservoir cap open too long because most fluid types are hydroscopic and will attract moisture in the air. I usually will pull out most of the reservoir fluid as the first step and then close the cap. Thank you for your videos. Keep them coming

Very good Rotor brake pad replacement job well done with great advice. However, with the car's age, I would have recommended at least a flush of the brake fluid. Most manufacturers recommend flushing your brake fluid after 6 to seven years due to the fact hydraulic fluid absorbs moisture which moisture can cause a spongy brake pedal. I just want to add because this is Jim's customer he may have already done a complete brake job and bled the brakes previously, I'm just saying this because fresh clean brake fluid is very important for the brake system.

This isn't for all Camrys in that year set. Some have rear drums.

Jim, for those in the rust belt, can you recommend any rust-resistant "coated" rotors? I notice that you never put any rust inhibitor between the hub and the rotor, or between the rotor and the wheel. Is it not a good idea, or in your experience does it not help prevent siezing?

Never re-use brake hardware. Always replace. Owner doesn't want to spend a few more bucks to do the job right, you should have refused the job. If brakes fail, you get the blame. Brake shoes aren't expensive enough to not do them. As a business owner, you have to consider your liability.
