Replace Brake pads & Rotors on Toyota Camry/Corolla - FAST & EASY

[@davidcampbell1899]

Got to give you U Tubers real credit. Doing a brake job with one hand while holding a camera with the other hand takes some skill! Thanks to U Tube I have saved my self hundreds of dollars in labor doing my own brakes. (Such a PROFIT JOB for the garages!)

[@chadkershaw6824]

Good video but one very important thing to mention. BEFORE you take the car for a test drive you must pump the brakes until the brakes have a solid feel. If you do not do this the brakes will NOT operate correctly and could cause you to get an a accident.

[@jaywhite3085]

At what point do you pump the brakes?

[@Emeraldcoastking]

Once you push them once your fine unless you disconnect the hose

[@leeh9420]

@@jaywhite3085 Pump the brakes once the car is back down on the ground. This will push the caliper pistons back into position. Then I'd also recommend bedding the brakes to ensure good performance.

The way that Bracket of the Caliper fit, securing that brake mount was satisfying. I have replaced front brakes, and rotors on an '97 Camry, but have never once considered the brake mounts. Learned something today.

I thoroughly appreciate this video! I have wondered many times what the lubricant was for as so many backyard mechanics have told me its not necessary and so many auto reps have tried to sell it to me and I was also unaware of the coating on the rotors. Ive been told clean everything but only for the dust not necessarily for the coating on the rotors.Very methodically explained in full detail so much so I have subscribed to your channel.

[@rjkopp]

Another of the reasons why when you start you should loosen the lug nuts a couple of turns before you raise the vehicle at all, like you said, is that if you don't, you could break the lug nuts bolts. I have done that a couple of times before a mechanic told me about loosening the lug nuts before jacking. If you loosen them while the tire is on the ground, you won't break the lug nuts. Most home mechanics can't replace lug nut bolts that easy so it save a bit of time. This is also true if you get a flat on the road. That is where I learned this the hard way and had to have the car towed to get the lug nut bolts replaced before we could get to the tire.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

rjkopp Thanks for watching & sharing your thoughts & experience. That is so true! Your info will definitely be helpful for future viewers. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@davidhamilton1446]

I’ve done it because it’s hard to crank on the lug wrench without the wheel rotating while it’s up. Cordless impact wrench saves all that and my back.

[@michaelvaughan9157]

showed me exactly what i was looking for, my caliper won't line up with th bolt holes on top of the rubber boot, i thought that had threads thank GOD it doesn't have any now i just need to remove and clean and lube so it retracts enough to line up with the hole, very good video.

[@EdgarMendezz]

I ran into an issue where I put the car in drive (lifted off the ground) and the rotors wouldn’t spin. After loosening the guide pin bolts it started to spin on the passenger side. It got dark but tomorrow. I’m going to loosen the driver side caliper guide pin bolts too and hopefully that will fix my issue. I over tightened them… oops. This is probably why my brakes got used up super fast too cause last time I loosened them I may have left them on too tight so they were probably always applying brake pressure

[@Ru4444]

Great video! Thank u! Is it safe to just compress the caliber piston? Isnt it a sealed system and mayb cause pressure and break the line somewhere? Thank u again!

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. That’s a great question and in most cases, the piston will need to be compressed in order to properly fit onto the rotor. Before compressing your piston, we recommend removing the cap from your brake fluid reservoir to allow pressure to escape as you compress piston.

[@VinylToVideo]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I only removed the lower bolt and I confirmed on the other side it was spinning while torquing right before I even touched it. I couldn't find a 17 mm crescent nor thin enough adjustable crescent but was able to hold it with some other handheld tool. It only needs 25 ft. lbs. and I'm sure I torqued it over that, even if it does spin. I had also planned to turn the rotors but with less than 40k miles they looked and felt great. Maybe that was one oversight as the pads have a lifetime warranty so probably should have done it right but it drives fantastic now anyhow (used Hawk SuperDuty pads). I was working on a 2016 Highlander but these Toyotas have very similar brake systems.

Please add one important tip: if the rotor is not coming off easily, no need to use a hammer, simple screw a bolt in one or both threaded holes inside the lug bolt hole pattern and the rotor will easily break free.

What do mean by screw a bolt inside the threaded lug bolt patterns?

[@mark1952able]

In lieu of Brake Cleaner, can I use mineral spirits?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & we haven’t tried mineral spirits. Cant give you a solid answer. 😎👍

[@mark1952able]

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Yes. Being Painting Contractor for over 40 yrs., we would have to use Mineral Spirits to wipe the roof flashing prior to painting it. Reason being ? New galvanized metal, a product used to make corrugated sheets, gutters, and downspouts, is usually smooth and is coated with either a layer of oil to prevent white rust or is passivated. Paint applied over this oily surface or clear passivator will peel quickly. Obviously one is not going to paint their rotors, but mineral spirits will remove a thin layer of oil film.

[@randyjustrandy9937]

Nice video. Appreciated. Do you need to remove master cyl cap or bleed brakes if you follow your procedure perfectly? Thanks.

[@randyjustrandy9937]

Also, can I substitute other types of lube for brake lube, such as bearing/axel grease?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Randy JustRandy Thanks for watching Randy. If these steps are followed, you shouldn’t need to re-bleed Brake system. Just make sure minimal fluid is lost & fluid level remains with proper fill parameters. We recommend using Brake System lubricant. We haven’t used any substitute lubricants. Not sure how effective they are. Keep us posted on your repair. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZbin notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩

[@MrSeezero]

I recently went to my Ford Service Center in Toledo, Ohio, and had my front and rear brake pads and rotors replaced. About 6 days later, I realized that my brakes were beeping or squeaking whenever I tried to brake in drive (forward). On the other hand, if I broke in reverse, there was no such sound. I called them back, I have an appointment 5 days from now to take a look at them. Can you guess what might have gone wrong?

[@iwpsurf]

how important is it to open the bleeder valve as not to damage the anti loc brake system and what year is this toyota ? thx

[@angelsierra2327]

Do you not have to bleed the breaks on these??

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching. As long as you just replace the pads and rotors, and not disconnect any brake lines…you shouldn’t need to bleed system. If your brakes are weak after replacing parts. We recommend bleeding system. 👍🧰

[@Al-eo7fy]

ik im a kid, and a girl, and happen to be here in 2024 but I'm helping my dad out and just wanted to ask if you do the same thing for the back brake pads?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching. That’s awesome to hear that you’re helping your Dad. The rear brakes will be Brake Drums as opposed to Calipers. The brake pad replacement will be different in the rear because of this. Below is a video that shows a quick view of a diagram. It’s just a few seconds long. 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4TQf4msmK-KkKMsi=sTavfMicJqwU9buX Let us know if you have any questions. 🧰

[@rajcruise6]

How much did the rotor or disc cost? Is that oem part?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Akash Kumar Thanks for watching Akash, we purchased all brake parts from our local AutoZone. We paid around $150.00 for all parts. We hope the video helped. Keep us posted with your DIY project.

[@ponolapinad5434]

What's that plastic ring called when you removed the rotor?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & most refer to it as a dust plate.

[@aptlogix]

How do you press the piston back, yeah I have seen using a c clamp and old brakes but do you open the bleeder or no?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Danish Qamar Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. We have found the C-Clamp to be a friendly process & when using it, no need to open bleeder valves however it’s important to remove cap on brake reservoir to allow back flow pressure to release.

[@lovenikon20021]

Thanks for helpful video. How can we tell time to change the rotors? Thanks

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Nhạc Tình Thanks for watching. Most people replace rotors during the pad change. If outer portion is rusty & crumbling, it’s definitely “overtime”. Hope this helps. We appreciate you watching. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩

[@LGR_LGR_LGR]

Also need to bleed the brakes right?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching. You will need to bleed that specific caliper for sure. If you let brake fluid leak out of the lines for several minutes, you will then need to bleed entire system. However, if you remove fitting from old caliper and screw it tight to the new caliper quickly…and not allow brake fluid to spill out…you can get away with just bleeding that exact caliper.

[@toanlam8603]

Should the rotor be able to spin easily? Or should it require some strength to spin with or without calipers

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Toan Lam Thanks for watching & sharing your comment. That’s a great question! You should be able to move wheel by hand & with a little added force. You will notice that the pads will be resting on the sides of the Caliper which is normal. It is not normal however to have the pads compressed to a point where you can’t move it by hand at all...no matter how hard you try. This is an indication that your rotor, pads, or caliper is not properly installed nor aligned. This may lead to brakes locking up & smoking...no fun!
