    I'm needing brakes on my 2003 Tacoma. You're video was the best one I've seen on doing them. I think I've seen some of your other videos as I recognize your voice.

    Excellent tutorial. I used to do it the hard way until I watched your video : ) Never thought about taking the brake shoes off and putting them on as an assembly. Way easier to do it how you explained!

    That was really nice of Bosch to provide the parts. Great video. I might attempt to do this. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but messing with my brakes always made me nervous. You don't want to take any chances on your brakes. It can literally kill you if you do something wrong. Your video made it less daunting to think about doing. Thanks again!

    This is a great video. Thank you so much for putting it out there.
    One bit of info I was looking for but you didn't mention was lubrication points - I was told not to use my parking brake until the pivot points were greased, but I'm a little wary of slapping grease randomly inside a brake assembly...

    • @elultimo102
      @elultimo102 2 роки тому +2

      I worked on my old VWs and used red hi-temp wheel bearing grease---just a touch on the pivot points when assembling. (I used hi-temp, bc I was afraid of it melting when the brakes heat up---my new container says 500F). I need to do my Tacoma brakes. They don't look too different, but I don't want to make a mistake, plus it's been 25 years since I did brakes.

      Then .. 🤬 I tried to bleed the brakes with the wifes help, pedal is going down almost to the floor. I think I still got air in lines, i tried 3×s .. so I called a vehicle doctor who will charge me $50 to rebleed them properly and evaluate tomorrow.. 🤞🏻
      I hope to get it back right.

    • @4DIYers

      New drums do need to be cleaned with brake cleaner before installing. You'll also need to install new shoes, potentially a spring kit and then it needs to be adjusted.

      Yes it needs to be adjusted. Or drive the truck in reverse and keep applying the brakes, it should self adjust.

    Hi does anyone knows which size is the correct one for 99 Tacoma pre Runner SRS 5 -
    4 : 10" x 1.99" brakes or 11.61" x 2" brakes. when I try to but online it shows both fit but that cant be right. Please help

    • @4DIYers
      @4DIYers  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for the feedback! As for your rotor size, the best option is removing your wheel and measuring them. The only other option is calling the dealer and supplying them with your VIN.

  • @thebosscannon1444
    @thebosscannon1444 8 місяців тому

    So I only need to press the brake pedal? Or do I need to bleed them after installing?

    • @4DIYers
      @4DIYers  8 місяців тому

      No need for bleeding. Bleeding is only done if the fluid was excessively low(empty master cylinder), you replaced a component that directly uses brake fluid or you opened up a fitting or bleeder exposing brake fluid and potentially letting air into the system.

    Thanks for the vid. I replaced mine and my cylinders. However, I will note my adjuster mechanism is different and actually exists on the opposite shoe from the parking brake lever. It also engages with the star gear from behind which is annoying cuz you can hardly see it.
    Also, the bottom springs are a bitch.

    I've tried stretching the top spring with pliers and it does not go, no way. I got a set of spring pliers but I think they don't work for this application. Any other tips for getting spring on? I tried getting spring on and putting both shoes over the hub together and ended up ripping the dust cover on the cylinder (turns out it was leaking inside the cover and needed replacing). I'm kind of at a loss on how to get the spring back on

    • @averygoodman761
