Front brake pad and rotor replacement 2005 - 2006 Toyota Camry
It was time to replace my pads and rotors. I got my parts from Rock Auto.

When its time to start doing your own maintenance on the ole vehicle. Thank you and respect on the video.

[@FrankGuest]

Thanks for watching!

[@josemontano8799]

Can’t never go wrong with a cold beer while doing some mechanic work!👍🏼

[@FrankGuest]

You got that right.

[@7Bytez]

Thanks Frank! I went out 2 hours ago to get this done after getting the parts from O Reilly earlier and found out one of my lug nuts were stripped and of course I have every socket in the world but the one that fits and fought to get it off for 2 hours with no luck 😂. Gunna do it this weekend. I’ll be back to watch. Thanks for the great and detailed video, this is my first time trying this. You made it super easy to follow!

[@FrankGuest]

Thanks. Glad it was helpful!

[@chreelou3543]

Great video! Step by step I needed this. I'm like another viewer below. I have worked on my cars before but brakes will be a new learning experience. I work pizza delivery and over the last few shifts my Camry has started showing signs it needs new brakes at least the front ones. For a driver car care is obviously very important and I'd like to save as much money as I can on labor. Gonna change mine out tomorrow when I have day light. Thanks Brother ✌

[@KingBr33ch]

That’s a horrible reason to put wear on the car , new job asap

[@chreelou3543]

@@KingBr33ch Shit man judging by what's on your channel I wonder if you even know what a job is lmao

[@robnotter6455]

Thanks buddy for a great video! Much appreciated. And as long as you stated that you're not a professional, perfectly alright to make videos. It's like me asking a buddy for advice/help when I cannot afford a mechanic. Great work!

[@patbrennan5234]

Nice work Frank. I appreciate you taking the time to save me time! From Australia... cheers :)

[@FrankGuest]

Pat Brennan from the US to the Land Down Under. No problem my friend.

[@Swenser]

Wow that's impressive. Putting your wife's importance ahead of your car and stopped to help her. Nice 👍

[@Leoj1106]

great video, you really help me out with my 2005 Camry break job, thank you

[@FrankGuest]

leoj1106 Glad that I could help.

[@trini_boi2414]

I got the same 2005 Camry I'm about to do my brakes on I hope it's easy for me too 😁

[@RrRr-th1kf]

Frank Guest Hi 👋🏼 boss …is Japan brake rotor is same same quality and materials of genuine one or what ????

[@hdanielklee]

Bud Light 👍🏼 - agree with the guy saying you should always use a jack stand.

[@clarksmarketing1330]

Great video Bud!

[@FrankGuest]

Thanks. Glad you like it!

[@trini_boi2414]

I do a lot of light mechanical work to my car but when comes to the brakes I'm a lil nervous and rather a mechanic do it but I'll try it next time I need brakes btw great video 👍

[@argentinaedwards7208]

Thank you for showing the video it helps❤🍺

[@ShadowFireCoolDude]

Good job Pro!

[@FrankGuest]

ShadowFireCoolDude I’m far from a pro. Just a weekend warrior!

[@patrickdavis7815]

8mm 1.25 inch bolts to remove rotor...nice video thanks

[@williamb2854]

Yes...that's a must. Better that beating it off with a hammer.

[@joet4806]

Use Sil-Glyde Silicone brake lubricant for the slider bolts, Not never seize. Don't use the regular brake grease either as the grease will swell the rubber O rings on each of the slider bolts. You can use the brake grease on the pads ears so they slide. Pls use gloves as to protect your fingers. You are dressed too clean for this dirty job. You have good teaching skills!

[@Judi-hc5qz]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍 thank you so much good video very helpful 😎

[@ibrahimtouchan6754]

It would have been helpful for us if you could tell us the size of each screw you loosened while changing the brakes

[@kuyast77z85]

My man was hungry lol

[@Grit489]

Definitely get a good beer buzz before doing a brake job 🤪

[@sparkyd82]

There seems to be a dilemma on the front rotor size. What size rotor goes with the 05 le Camry?

[@ferndog1461]

The 02-06 Toyota Camry had a suspension system redesign. So the parts are different 2002 vs 2006. I don't know what year the change took place.

[@Heavenoid]

Dude, jack stand. Otherwise, nice work.

[@51panzerman]

Thanks for the video but the only prob I have is you didn’t say what size the bolts were on the caliper and rotor!

[@frankg6578]

This is a little late for you but for someone just watching it's 14 mm on the caliper and 17 mm for the caliper mounts

[@ojofelixnm3608]

You have new pad support plates in the kit, why didn't you use them? Use a wire brush on those encrusted component.

[@ferndog1461]

OEM hardware is better. If it's not in bad shape, I clean with skinny brass brush & lube. But if it's not OEM, yeah, change out for new hardware.

[@carlbrown1000]

What size jack should i use to take off the breaks and the peice that holds the break?

[@FrankGuest]

Carl Brown You do not need an expensive jack. As long as your only going to use it on a car. Something inexpensive like this from Walmart will work. www.walmart.com/ip/Pro-Lift-F-767-Grey-Low-Profile-Floor-Jack-2-Ton-Capacity/28087370?athcpid=28087370&athpgid=athenaItemPage&athcgid=null&athznid=collection&athieid=v0&athstid=CS020&athguid=914d76fa-60f-16b4dd8b157b89&athena=true

What mm are the caliper bolts

[@JoseVazquez-jw5yp]

14mm

[@FrankGuest]

@@JoseVazquez-jw5yp thanks for the reply.

[@Testandtunerc]

Why not use the new clips??

[@FrankGuest]

Good question. In the past I have used the aftermarket clips. They dont always fit properly. I have had to grind several to fit so they dont have scrape against the rotor. So if the old ones are not bent up or rusted, I clean them off and leave them in place.

[@blakewaddell451]

I'm a professional mechanic and I never use the old hardware for one it comes with new hardware so use it and my shop would fire you if you used the old over again plus I would feel like a hack if I used the old hardware over.

[@FrankGuest]

Blake Waddell Hey Blake. Thanks for the comment. I’m no professional mechanic. I just like to wrench on my cars a bit. When you say you always replace hardware. Are you referring the the bolts and the clips in the calipers or just the clips? I only replace the bolts if the kit I buy comes with new bolts or if one snaps when I’m removing it. I have heard from other mechanics that the clips in the calipers can stay as well as long that they are not F’ed up. Just spray some brake cleaner on them and stick them back in. I always replace them if I’m doing calipers but not if I’m just doing pads. Should they be replaced regardless of their condition??

[@misterservicepro9407]

But 2 things buddy he he said he not a professional and that's probably his car so he can do whatever

[@blakewaddell451]

Mister Service DFW yeah but to do it right it should of been replaced I agree it is so he can do it but it’s not advised

[@frankg6578]

Those non oem brake kits come with shims that don't always fit properly. He did the right thing to reuse the originals. A step up would have been to take them out and sand them or file lightly then replace.

[@dwighthaley1273]

No jack stands is dangerous.

[@ferndog1461]

If you aren't underneath & place tire near jacking point, not perfect, but common practice.

Bro this video was made like 4 years ago 😂…. So you’re gunna hold this man accountable for something that happened this year and the video is from like 2019? Something is seriously wrong with you lol..

[@shaneanderson1036]

what is it with blokes that have long fingernails !!! not good for working on cars

[@physicalstarfighter2131]

IF your going to be doing mechanic video's learn the correct names of the parts your working with....that will make it more professional sounding when your narrating it. Other wise not bad

[@FrankGuest]

Physical Starfighter Thank you for the comments. I’m far from a mechanic, but doing basic stuff like brakes is easy. What did I say incorrectly so I don’t make the same mistake again.

[@jenniferhofius5495]

@@FrankGuest i think he meant when you called a bolt a screw,big deal you corrected anyway.

[@trini_boi2414]

Geesh give the guy a break at least he took his time and effort to teach us something and no you don't have to know the correct name this is where common sense comes into play cause we know exactly what he means even if he said it wrong🙄

[@TD-tb5xk]

Safety! Safety! Safety! I don't see any jack stands,??? If you're not a mechanic why are you making a video???? Let the professionals make videos. If you make a video and a enthusiast watches what you tried to teach and tought wrong its on you mate. In future use gloves and a pry bar or long screw driver to pry rusty stuff off. Wrong again all bolts have a torque specification. Bad advice. Torque specs can be googled you just need to know the thread pitch and size ie course fine thread... bolts used to force out rotor/disc away from hub are 5/16 18 length 1" Your just changing out parts you're not giving advice on any problems that may cause defects ie worn rotor spec seized calipers, wheel lugs nut torque specs etc etc....

[@FrankGuest]

T D thanks for the comment mate. Your correct. I’m not a mechanic and should have used jack stands. But you are incorrect to say that only professionals should post videos on KZbin. Thanks again for watching! Have a great day.

[@chuckclark7444]

I am definitely not a mechanic. Just wondering if should pull the top off the master cylinder when you're compressing the calipers? Maybe to force the air out of the top?
