[@RBTheMechanic]

I don’t have link to tools u would have to buy them from autozone

[@TheLofree85]

Do the rotors need to be cleaned off when just changing the brakes?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No either they r good or replace them no need to clean or anything unless ur putting new rotors they have oil coating those u have to clean

[@TheLofree85]

@@RBTheMechanic Appreciate it!!! I didn't clean them and everything ran smoothly.

What is the thing called that the pads clip on to? The large piece of metal that you put the clips in and then the pads? I think I need to replace mine.

Caliper bracket

[@Sudz28]

@@RBTheMechanic Went great! I had to wait a week for the new bracket to come in because it doesn't seem that any of the local auto stores carry them in general, but once I got the bracket/boot pin/new pins, I was able to assemble and get back on the road this afternoon. Thanks much!

Darn son said he's gonna suck some fluid out ...pause😂😂 but seriously ik how to change brakes now thank you

[@RBTheMechanic]

Haha ok

I troubled to change disc pads on my Toyota Corolla 2008, because I thought at 75,000 miles on the odometer, the pads might be well worn. This concern was multiplied by the brake pedal's long travel down, when I applied the brakes. I thought the long arc down was caused by the worn disc pads. When I removed the caliper, I could see that the two pads each had almost 1/4" of brake material. They were really not worn to a point of danger. Still, I replaced them because I already had purchased new pads and had labored to the point of doing the replacement. The brake pedal is now doing a much short arc to apply braking. I wonder why the long travel of my brake pedal with the old pads? Does the piston have such a small reach that the pads don't get more fully applied? Is the problem simply that I needed to pump the pedal to extend the piston more, adding brake-fluid as necessary? I feel like an fool having gone to the trouble of replacing the disc pads unnecessarily, when a much simpler remedy was available. Any comment?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Check for jammed calipers and caliphs pins same in the back and if u got drums in back they might be loose and worn out replace drums shoes

I just did all break components on a 2010 corolla (pads,rotors,calipers and caliper hose) as drivers side was sticking and getting hot. Although 90% better its still an issue on same location. Any ideas?

[@RBTheMechanic]

What is the issue? Rotor over heats?

[@patrickgregory7920]

@@RBTheMechanic it's definitely warmer than passanger side. I jacked it up and put in neutral and it drags a little.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@patrickgregory7920 check for jammed brake pads I’m think u changed caliper ?

@@RBTheMechanic replaced everything. Pads seem to work fine.
