Hey Big Dog , one minor detail , if you don't mind.. The hardware clips appear to be original OE , based on their brass looking color. Most aftermarket hardware resemble stainless steel. The upper and lower clips are different and so placement is "somewhat" important. The lower of the two clips has a flat base in which the end of pad sits and rides on.The upper clip has a base with a mild "V" shape . Your installation was correctly done! As to why the mild V shape I can only assume that it creates a tight fit of the pads and may prevent the pads from rattling.. FWIW most after market clips have bases that are flat. Nice video by the way. Cheers

This helped me change my break pads flawlessly. Thanks a bunch for uploading this.

[@BigDog50001]

Glad it helped!

[@LabmanOz]

Excellent technique! I especially like only having to remove one bolt from the caliper.

[@ixtlan22]

Really appreciate the help You made this look really easy. Very clear instructions!

Todo un Genio gracias por compartir, ya no pagaré los $50 que me cobran por cambiarlos.

[@francisniestemski2440]

By the way very good explanations during the process. Excellent video. Probably because it’s branch specific. I do like the idea of OEM brakes from Toyota.

[@lewisheilig3623]

Thanks for your video which shows you putting a thin coat of lubricant on the back of the brake pad before snapping on the metal shim. I just bought pads which have a metal shim glued to the pad. My metal shim has 4 tangs bent around the edges of the pad so that if the adhesive fails, the shim is still mechanically held in place. This shim also has a textured coating of nitrile rubber on the outer surface. Your video would suggest that I should apply a coating of lubricant onto the surface of the textured nitrile rubber. I am wondering in a second thin plate of metal is added on top of my shim or does the lubricated, textured, rubber surface of my shim directly touch the caliper piston? Thanks for any suggestion.

Bro thank you for sharing your video helped save my family 500$ bucks

[@BigDog50001]

No problem 👍!

[@stevet.4820]

Since you did just one side, are there any differences if I'm going to do both? For example, should I pump the brakes in between doing the left and the right so that I don't push double the brake fluid up into the reservoir?

[@romanmoreno7262]

Thank you buddy, it’s exactly

[@BigDog50001]

No problem 👍!

Thank you great video presentation

[@BigDog50001]

I appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@SarahPoulin]

I spoke with several people and they all said that they have to pry the pads away from the rotor to get the caliper bracket loose enough to lift like you did. I am totally new to this, and the bracket wouldn't even budge, and I couldn't figure out why, because your video shows you effortlessly lift it up. It would be helpful if you as least explained to people what to do to get it lifted. I ended up having to pack everything up and put the wheels back on to try for another day since it took to long trying to figure this out, and it was getting to dark, cold, and rainy.

[@BigDog50001]

I didn't hide anything in this video, and obviously you don't ALWAYS need to pry the caliper up because I didn't need to in this video but sometimes you do. I wish I could think of every scenario when doing videos but that is impossible. I am glad you figured it out. Sometimes working on cars (or anything) means you have to improvise, adapt and overcome.

Good vid man! Can a guy use anti sneeze instead of that purple stuff you were using? Also, what are those clips called? I think I’m going to replace them regardless Thanks!

[@AlamoCityCello]

Nice vid bro! Question, how to you like your Sienna? Good car?

[@BigDog50001]

Not my vehicle but it seems to be a good reliable van. Thanks for the comment!

[@SarahPoulin]

I have a rusty old 2005 Sienna, I removed that bottom bolt on the caliper, but the caliper won't budge. I can't lift it like in your video. Any idea on how to get it to move?

[@kovalenkoihor4325]

I guess you had to remove both bolts

[@robg7551]

New pads and rotors Wagner thermo quiet and what they call premium rotors on 13 Sienna. Everything is good. At stop when slowly release pedal there’s a slight “crunch” sound like I can here the calipers releasing. Anything I can do to stop that? Thanks

[@becky4321]

What did you say at the very end? I couldn't understand .. "short something process to make sure the pads... " Thanks. Very clear video otherwise. I've had my breaks done twice by mechanics and they still squeak. So I'm going to give it a try myself.

[@BigDog50001]

A short "bed in" process, to mate the pads to the rotors.

hey big dog are those jack stands the 3 ton jacks from harbor freight tools? i have a 2004 sienna and i bought the 3 tons jacks from harbor freight tool and i know that where you put your jack stands thats the right place for the regular car jack since it has the cut out in the middle of it , so that it does not touch or bend the part that you showed on the video on where to place them. i think that if i place the jacks stands where you show its going to bend it since its too thin to support the car's weight. were your jacks touching the thin vertical part sticking down? thank you in advance!

[@BigDog50001]

alfre sua Those are the pinch welds and the sections I pointed out are designed to hold the weight of the vehicle. They usually only bend if you try and lift one side of the vehicle instead of both sides at the same time like I showed in video. I have several sets of jacks stands and I do believe the ones in the video are from HF.

[@abyssalsoul6216]

I bought rubber adapters that fit on these jack stands. You simply press them in place on top of the stand. They are grooved so the pinch welds sit in the grooves. No surface damage to jack points at all.

[@sunbridge1]

I don't see you install/attach wear indicator to the pads

[@sivucit]

one interesting question, On Honda, you got sliding pin with bush on top, whereas in toyota you got sliding pin with bush on bottom. What I understand is sliding pin with bush should be always on trailing pin, which is right on toyota but not on honda, in honda it has sliding pin with bush on leading side which is on top. Do you have any view. you told me sliding pin with bush will be always on top for front both side and in bottom for rear in honda.. any thoughts.

[@BigDog50001]

Specs and locations can be different from manufacturer to manufacturer, model to model and even year to year. When it comes to sliding pins I usually only remove one at a time to avoid mixing them up. That being said, I will usually check service info on locations to verify correct placement, because there have been instances where the factory put them in wrong. And I try not to use the word "always" when it comes to auto repair lol.

[@francisniestemski2440]

What about the rear disc. I know they are more complicated because of the emergency brake.

[@BigDog50001]

Yes, typically the rear disc brakes can be a bit more work. They don't all have rear disc brakes though, the vehicle in this video had rear drum brakes.

[@martin984]

What kind of a torque wrench are you using?

[@BigDog50001]

I think I used a cheap Harbor Freight torque wrench in this video. Now I pretty much only use my Snap-On digital torque wrenches.

[@rolandomarinhdez8262]

Why mine squeekes after changing the brake pads?

[@BigDog50001]

Possible causes that come to mind: crappy aftermarket pads missing/misaligned shims (this is what the problem on this vehicle was) poor/no brake grease on backs of pads/shims

[@specagent999]

Instead of a torque wrench for the lug nuts, would you recommend using an 80 ft. lbs torque limiting bar and call it a day?

[@francisniestemski2440]

What are torque limiting bars.

[@specagent999]

@@francisniestemski2440 they attach to your impact wrench and flex when a torque limit is reached, resisting further tightening of the fastener.
