I am 10 years old and my dad wants me to change the brake pad so It was a really good tortial

[@garryschuetz208]

Thanks Peter for tuition. Saved me a few dollars by not having to ring a mobile mechanic. Before I saw this I wasn't very confident.

[@PeterZafra]

Glad i was able to help. Cheers

[@ojofelixnm3608]

The master cylinder cap is vented to atmosphere so no need to remove cap.

[@VietPho]

I followed your guide in 2018 when I did my brakes and now I'm following it again in 2021

[@PeterZafra]

Glad I'm able to help you. Cheers

[@VietPho]

@@PeterZafra I did run into some problems this time around though. I forgot that the caliper slide bolts inside the bellows can slide in and out in order to get the caliper to close down without hitting the brake pad. I took the slide bolts out to inspect for rust. One of the slide bolts was having trouble coming out due to lack of grease. Need to buy silicone caliper slide bolt grease tommorow at autozone to finish my brake job.

[@PeterZafra]

You got this. Cheers

[@josephtaylor5909]

Nice pair of slotted drilled rotors I noticed that's actually why I watched the video, I'm about to purchase some for front and back if needed I love my old 2000 Camry it's like a Clydesdale horse so sturdy strong but elegant in movement. Now yes I'd love a newer TRD Camry sure but otherwise I'm content big time and I won't even tell you how many long miles my car has gracefully given me it'll out live me probably lol.

[@lanazaakat9466]

You did very good with thoroughness. Then, summarizing in the end. Appreciate !!

[@PeterZafra]

Thank you. Cheers

[@assievoncheeks8239]

Well done video, wonderfully detailed and then summarized. I made sure to watch the adds so you get paid.

[@PeterZafra]

Aww man. Thanks so much. Cheers.

[@user-od4op6ng9y]

Just what I needed. Very informative in and in-depth. The video could have been 5mins long though as you repeat yourself a little too much. Thanks again!

[@3printer3]

Perfect video. Thank you!

[@richduchesne8334]

Thank you great job at explaining I'm pumped to do it myself thank you again

You are very welcome. I'm glad it helped you. Cheers.

[@PRGuanica]

Very nice video, well explain. I’m ready to do mines. Thanks

[@llroman7823]

I've been watching different videos on this subject for two days and your video one of the very best. You cover how to do the complete job and left no stone unturned. I already bought Silicone Lube Grease as was showed in another video for the plate side of the pads. Is that good enough or should I buy the spray and do both? Fantastic work, thanks Peter!

[@PeterZafra]

Hello. Thank you kindly. You can use any of those. I just chose to use the spray instead. Cheers

[@benj1236]

Great job.

[@ryanreyes9456]

Thanks dude

Ok I been watching you for 3 days ..and I bought everything so I'm going to try it tomorrow I'm scared but I should b ok u did great explaining

Cheers. I know you can do it.

[@tazzyjackson1305]

Thanks 😊

[@tazzyjackson1305]

So I did it my son helped me it took 30 minutes we just followed what you said and it went smooth thanks agin ..I also have a 2014 chrysler but I'm scared to work on it these newer models are too much but I love toyota I also did spark plugs battery and cleaned air control valve by myself and saved a tun of money if this toyota go out I think I'll buy another 😅 I love then

About to change the pads on my 98 Camry. Thanks much for the sequence and tips. Much appreciated.

[@PeterZafra]

Barry Maynard thank you. Cheers

[@jeffneal1518]

Thanks good job, but never rely only on hydraulic jack , always use jack stands for support....

[@PeterZafra]

Thank you. Great point. Cheers

[@DiscordedHaru]

Very informative, it helps me on what I’m about to do tomorrow. I think on future videos it should be stated that you could lessen the redundancy of steps such as “okay guys” so much. It felt some steps took a step backwards to teach someone. I appreciate knowing about the spray on the pads and its sides. It couldn’t hurt to invest in some slight better editing; tripod or another cameraman could help imho. Good video altogether.

[@PeterZafra]

Thanks for the input. Cheers

[@DiscordedHaru]

@@PeterZafra Update: I was able to remove/replace my brakes ENTIRELY thanks to this video!!! I feel so much more confident now on this new step in learning of my (admittedly old) car now!

[@AngelaShiflet]

@@PeterZafra oh ok. I was just curious because if ever I needed a mechanic (which we all do sometimes)I'd trust you to work on my cars. ☺️

[@Photostudioww]

Very clean car👍 How long have you had those rotors and do you recommend buying those??

[@PeterZafra]

Edgar Bravo they work well. I bought them from ebay

[@kkim4282]

I just did install new break shoes today with the help of this video. I had lost some of the clips for the break shoes and the new ones were not easy to install, because they didn't seem to fit right.

[@PeterZafra]

K Kim I'm glad it helped. Cheers!!!!

[@whiteknightcat]

The clips are paired but they're not symmetric. They only fit one way on the torque plates (caliper carrier plates). The wear indicator also should have come off with the pads. There wasn't one referenced in the video. The wear indicator MUST be installed or you'll get no warning at all before the brakes go metal-to-metal when they wear out.

[@jack8356]

Just changing the pads will cause vibration issues because of the new pads on the old pad material. Experienced it myself it got worst and worst until i finnally did the rotor and pads

[@PeterZafra]

Only if your rotors are warped

[@TigixPK]

Wait a minute, did you do a manual swap? Thanks for the video. I'll be performing this in the morning

[@PeterZafra]

Thanks for the view. Its a very rare 5 spd. Camry. Cheers

[@codell3]

Thanks very helpful. My interior lights are out in my 97 Camry. Any ideas what the problem might be?

[@PeterZafra]

Cullen O'Dell is it all the interior? Like dash board etc? Or just the light on the ceiling?

[@codell3]

It's the dash lights and the interior light. I think it might be a fuse but i'm not sure.

[@PeterZafra]

Cullen O'Dell try the fuse. I'm sure that's part of the issue

[@brynoleum]

Thx

[@richbillionair]

When you pushed the wrench down, it looked to the right clockwise

[@PeterZafra]

Bolt is on the other side

[@lightube12]

can you do a video how to fix a brake leak ...? thanks.

[@PeterZafra]

Depending on where the leak is, but usually from the hose to the caliper.

[@mondomon231]

Cool

[@TSHRED56]

I don't trust a floor jack as the sole support of the car. If it fails it could be dangerous. Use a jack stand.

[@lboggan417]

If you aren't getting underneath, you don't have to have a jack stand.

[@amishrobots]

to those here saying jack stands are not necessary unless you are under the car, oh sure, YOU might not be in danger, but what about possible damage to the car itself when it slips and crashes to the ground? If you have jack stands or anything else as back up in case the floor jack slips, why wouldn't you use them? At one point I was helping a stranger change his flat tire in a gas station parking lot, when the jack (mind you it was the crappy, weird, half scissor jack that came with the car) slipped, and where his hands were at the time, could have been a serious injury if his reflexes were just a bit slower. So yeah, any tool you have that will make the job a bit safer, take those extra few minutes to use it; it's not like you're the pit crew of an Indy 500 racer!

[@erickimmy1493]

@@amishrobots couldn't have said it better myself, did my pads and rotors today. I did get under the car bc I did many other things as well but the point is if I didn't get under the car I'd still have the same set up. Two Jack stands doing the brunt, jack as a backup, tires under the the car . 3 lifelines

[@rickyo504]

best reason for using a jack stand is for safety in case something shifts. that is probably the most unpleasant sound you could ever hear while you're under a car. another good reason for a jack stand is that not everyone's floor jack is brand new and they do tend to leak hydraulic fluid after a while causing the floor jack to slowly drop. speaking from experience because I inherited an old floor jack from my uncle that he used almost his entire adult life.

[@luban4u]

I should watch your video first bro.... Guess I do have brake light on dashboard right after I replaced the front brake pads. At this point I assume there's air in the system. I don't know for sure but before not even touched anything I didn't have that issue.

[@PeterZafra]

I hope you got it resolved. Cheers

[@LuisRios-pw4ig]

You can always live with a bit of noise; as long as there is no danger.But that is me.

[@justineugene3071]

hey ho ould i get to the power steering pump . i have a 2001 toyota camry. is there a plate that comes off behind the wheel?

[@PeterZafra]

There's a shield on the passenger fender. Get to it from there.

[@xavieralvarado8187]

Where did you get your brake pads? I bought duralast gold pads for my 2001 Toyota Camry but my mechanic said they don’t fit... he compared it and it was true. They were to small, please help! Thank you

[@PeterZafra]

I bought these on eBay but I suggest get dealer pads. Make sure you let the shop know if yours is a v6 or 4 cylinder. It might have a difference

[@kaybee4143]

Some Camry's have 15" wheels. Likely the case for you. The pads you bought were most likely for a 14" wheel. That's why the pads were too small.

[@lucasornelas6113]

@@kaybee4143 correct

[@kensnedegar5925]

I got the same year I just bought Duralast ceramic brake pads not the gold ones and they fit just perfect

[@lloydmakaila4302]

Hey man I have a question

[@javier232]

You didn't lube the guide pins that go in the bracket?

[@PeterZafra]

+javier vasquez I didn't because I sprayed the corners of the actual brake pads. It wouldn't be a bad idea to though. Cheers.

[@AikidoTubeSock]

How do you know the pads didn't crack when you dropped them on the floor?

[@PeterZafra]

Good point.

[@lboggan417]

My Camry has a V shaped wire clip bridging across the two pads. You don't use that, or yours doesn't have it?

[@PeterZafra]

Mine didn't have it. If yours has it, just use it again. Should be fine.

[@whiteknightcat]

That's the anti-squeal spring. There should be two, an upper and a lower, for each set of pads on four-cylinder models. It's possible one reason Peter has problems with squealing and has to use the spray product is because those springs were missing.

[@matthewgunn951]

Should I do the back ones to

[@PeterZafra]

If it needs it sure.

[@scotteaves7521]

What brand pads would you recommend using

[@PeterZafra]

I use posi pads. They are like a khaki color and it has minimal dust

[@scotteaves7521]

Ty Soo much u r very helpful

[@whiteknightcat]

Instead of using one box wrench as a cheater with another, a simple breaker bar and 14mm socket would work. The caliper bolts should be torqued to spec instead of just tightened by hand. I believe they're supposed to be about 25 ft-lbs

[@zarni000]

how do you torque to 25ft-lb?

[@jackeroo75]

zarni000 use a torque wrench.

[@chilinm855]

Brake the seal onlug nuts. ?? What exactly is that?

[@kaybee4143]

Just loosen the lugs about one revolution before lifting the wheel off the ground.

[@chilinm855]

[@MegaRcdrifter]

I've noticed that my 2000 Toyota Camry rear brakes makes a noise at night sometimes. It would make a noise whenever I brake a few times and sometimes it won't make a noise and other times it will.. Could it be time to replace the rear brakes?

[@PeterZafra]

Not necessarily. It may just be dirty. It won't hurt to check them though

[@whiteknightcat]

The rear drums are notorious for accumulating large amounts of brake dust. Remove the drums and thoroughly spray down everything with brake cleaner. Take the brake drums aside and gently tap them on concrete or other hard surface to dump out the piles of brake dust. DO NOT INHALE IT! Finish by spraying down the inside of the drums with brake cleaner and allow to dry before re-installing. If the shoes are worn, then yes, you'd have to purchase replacements along with the spring kits and replace everything as sets. A Hayne's manual (available from any auto parts store) is very helpful as are the KZbin videos showing how it's done. If you have any doubts, take it to a professional. Brakes are something you don't want to make errors with.

[@hunterlowe0814]

You forgot the other clips

[@PeterZafra]

Only came with those. No issues, even today. Cheers
