Thanks! Used this video to replace all 4 rotors. The first 3 came off with a bit of a struggle but the 4th would not budge. I wailed on it with a hammer for 45 minutes and it didn't budge. Using an m8x1.25 bolt in the "rotor removal bolt hole" got them off in 30 seconds. Much easier!

Fantastic tutorial! I've watched a few of these, yours is the best. I recently did my rears, going to do my fronts within the next few weeks. One thing I learned on the rear, is if the rotor does not come off even with the bolt trick, the parking brake shoes may be holding even if the brake isn't engaged. It's easy to loosen the shoes, however, to do that the rotor needs to be lined up in a certain spot. I learned the hard way, shift the TRANSFER CASE to neutral to do this, not the transmission. I absent-mindedly stepped on the break to shift the transmission into neutral, and shot the piston right out of the caliper. Luckily I only had one side disassembled at the time, and the caliper was pretty easy to replace.

Very good video. I actually started a brake job on my 2020 4Runner thinking that it would basically be the same as I've done numerous times on other vehicles. Well, I was wrong. I initially took out the wrong bolts and ended up leaking brake a little brake fluid from inside the front calipers. A quick check of your video showed which bolts to remove. Again, alot of detail in your video, and it was done at a good pace for most anyone to easily follow. Brake pad replacement is one of the easiest things for the do it yourselfer, but there are also quirks depending on the manufacturer. Toyota seems to have more quirks than most.

I drove it around the block and the brake goes all the way down to the floor before coming to a very slow stop. The brake has pressure in reverse but moving forward it is treacherous. Do I need to bleed the brakes or take any additional steps to get the pressure/stopping capabilitiy back? I am embarrassed to even ask because your video is so straightforward.

PARKING BRAKE: My 2010 parking brake hardly works. When it was new I asked the dealership to adjust it. The mechanic tried but said if he adjusted it enough to actually work it would come apart. I checked NHTSA to see if there was a recall and there is not. I assume this is because there are so few 4Runners that a critical mass of complaints did not occur. There were only about 25000 built in my year and I assume that is typical. I'd still like to see a recall, but perhaps my mechanic was mistaken and it is possible to have a working parking brake?? I've never had a car with this problem and I'm really old.

Unless I missed it, your really didn't show the replacement of the rear rotors. One key thing there is that they won't come off easily. First, you need to release the emergency brake so that the shoes INSIDE the rear rotors aren't contacting the rotors. Try to get the rotors off. If they still feel stuck, you need to adjust the emergency brake shoes so that retract. You rotate the rotors so that two holes (the 1/2" or so ones, not the tiny ones) are at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Then you shine a light in the 6 o'clock hole to see the emergency brake adjuster (looks like a little gear). You then push from top to bottom to get the gear/wheel to rotate towards you. That will adjust the emergency brake shoes so they are not contacting the rotor. You will then be able to take it off.

Soooo....what can I do IF I accidentally left the parking break on...tried to remove the rotor, and now the parking break is broken and the rotor won't come off? I don't have an access point to the dial for some reason, and I don't have any threads in the holes in the rotor to try the M8 bolt trick. I noticed the pin in the back just fell out, so I feel like the retention clip in the parking break broke off. Anybody have any other ideas on how to fix this???

I did the brakes on the FJ. Pretty easy!
