Hands down the best Tacoma brake video I've seen to date. Subbed!
+nicholas amodei Thank you for the sub and great comment!
@@2carpros amazing brake video. I watched one where the title said "Brake Pad replacement tutorial" he jacked the truck up and said "Let's take the caliper off" and then ends the video and that's all
@Malakai Issac definitely, been using Flixzone} for years myself =)
@Malakai Issac definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :)
Dude you rule! Thanks for making and uploading this video! The dealer wanted $585 for a front brake job. I've done them on other cars but this is a little different. This saved me a lot of money.
Don't go to the Stealerships to get work done. Crazy money
That video is absolutely the clearest, easiest to understand instruction video I have seen, Good job.
Wow, thanks!
Perfectly explained video! Thanks to you my 09 Tacoma will get a diy brake job. Thanks for posting.
I think this is a great job well done. Thank you with your detail instructions.
I didnt fully trust you until i seen the shoes...im hands down a fan now haha great video guys
Very helpful video, thanks! I have a 2006 Tacoma Pre Runner V6 DBL Cab 6 bolt, and though my brake calipers and some of the other brake parts look different than those in the video, I was able to figure it all out because of your video! It took me a couple hours to do the job, but next time I'll be able to do it in half that time! Thanks again!
Steve
awesome video! Motivated and allowed me to do my own brakes!! Many thanks!
thanks for the upload, very clear illustration
Just did mine! Thank you so much for sharing this step by step vid.
Very informative video 👍 Now my son and I can perform this task on his Tacoma and have enough time to chill out and drink some beers 🍻
Great Video! Makes my job a whole lot easier on my 2009 Pre-Runner!!!!
I had many vehicles in the past & always paid someone else to change the breaks and now I have a 2008 tacoma and need it breaks badly i asked my neighbor but he was only available the next morning and i really had so many thing to do so i couldn't wait until the next day so i did what everyone does go to youtube lol the first video that i watched was this one and right after i decided to change the breaks myself so i did just like this video instructed and it came out perfect no problems other than going back to autozone to get me one wire pin because one was so rusted that it broke when i pulled it out i put it on in like 2 sec and done put the tire back on and on to do my weekend chores lol my first break change & it was so easy at least this one was thanks 2carPros, im a mechanic now what's next transmission lol
Very clear and precise video. I have a 2015 Model year Tacoma, bought in end of 2014. Do the same instructions apply for my tacoma for changing front brakes?
How about doing one for the five-lug 4-cyl base model Tacoma
i really dig the tip on how to compress the cylinders, so useful. i've always struggled with a c-clamp... which sucks. don't use a c-clamp
Thank you for the great video. Easy to follow and helped me do it exactly as needed. Subscribing..
Wow! You guys rock!! It’s 3am, and I wanna go outside and replace my brake pads right now!!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thanks for this I will use this and just do it myself.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Great video ,super easy to follow the steps by how you also narrate. Thanks
You are welcome, please subscribe.
Would these instruction be similar to a FJ Cruiser?
Very good video; thanks for posting it.
I wish I would have seen this video before I did my tacoma. Mine is a 2002 but it all looks exactly the same. When I drive it it sounds like something is scraping badly, Especially when I turn. I may have put the retaining bracket on upside down and also the brake pad with the wear indicator might be reversed, I'm not sure. I will have to go and check these out. This is one of the best instructional videos I've seen.
Great Educational video.
Not only the video is good, but Tacomas rock! sub'd/thumbs up.
+Rob Fern ya they do!
Great video thanks for the info.
Great video!!! Thank you for making this video. I'm about to change the rotors on my 09 Taco this week instead of taking it to a shop
tekryder590 I also have an 09 tacoma and I'm wondering if you have done your brakes since your post. I would like to know if it was as easy as in this video. thanks
Val Rod Yeah I finished it and it wasnt that bad at all...took me about 2.5 hours but at the same time it saved me alot of $$$. Had some issues with loosening the caliper bolts but was able to due it with 6 pack ;)
Thank you. I just saved $300 bucs watching the video.
Nice work! Thanks for watching!
Great video, however my 05 Tacoma (base 4x2) has different brake set up, nothing like what you showed. Can you help???
This is so easy campare to my nissan frontier 2001 4x4 u need to remove hubs but is tacoma 4x4 has free hubs too?
super
muy exelente trabajo y video trabajo
This helped out today. Thanks for posting.
No problem 👍
On my 2008 tacoma there are 2 threaded spots on the rotor where you can insert 2 bolts turn clockwise and loosen the rotor.
I had that on my 06 Taco too. Not needed in my situation, but it's SWEET that they are there if needed!
Thanks I didn't know that!
Awesome! This could very well be the easiest brake job that I have ever done. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching!
Very good explanation.thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
2011 tacoma front breaks
I changed the front earlier this year with high end break rotators and pads, I knew someone and got a,great deal and an auto parts store.
I changed them myself exactly like it says to. they work great and much more stopping power than the factory rotators and pads. The only thing is that when pulling out of the driveway or anywhere slowly they'll make one small knocking noise. But only when it's been sitting for just a few min.
Like I said, no issues at all besides that.
Smooth great power stopping.
good to hear! Please subscribe.
Badass video. loving the music too!
Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you so much you guys ate the best 👌
Our pleasure!
Thanks! 1st-timer here. Took 2 hours, went together great. $120 for hubs & pads + hardware from NAPA Auto parts.
Quote from tire shop $380.
Sure wish Toyota mfg would have put a little anti-seize on the back of the hub.
Awesome that is a huge savings! Thank you for watching!
Oh no, thank you! BTW, for 2008 4x4 Tacoma owners, the brake pad kit contains shoes and 2 types of wire clips, not the formed sheet metal retainers used by so many other car manufacturers.
I didn't think I got the correct hardware kit until I took it all apart.
Next up, rear brake drums.
Agree excellent video
I need to know What weight is the Hammer that you use to loosen the rotor ?
Great video thanks for the info.
Thank you for watching!
Will this same technique apply to a 2010 Toyota Sequoia?
I like this video!
Thank you for watching!
a video with none of the 'yah knows', 'this goes there', 'um'...even though out there for awhile, best of the tutorials-thanks
You're welcome!
I have a 2004 prerummer do I follow the same steps in the video?
If I’m doing this procedure on both front wheels, do I wait until both sides are swapped out before doing the press and release on the brake pedal to acquire the brake pressure or do I do it after each side gets swapped (two times total)? Thx in advance for any reply!
I thing this is the best video
Great video & much appreciated. ONE question, though - "...using the appropriate size socket." Why can't you just tell us what size it is & the year vehicle you're working on? Alternative sizes on other years would be appreciated as well
Best video thank you doing it next week saving $$$$$
Glad it helped!
I did this but didn't realize to re-install that metal backing thing on the back of the break pad. Is this part that important?
What took you used to take of the bolts on the back of the rotor on 2:17 is it Matco? @2carpros
always use a torque wrench on aluminum wheels or you'll warp those rotors fast
Pretty sad they used improper or even lack of torquing and improper pattern as well. I have to replace my warped rotors, maybe the previous job was done by an idiot? Also you never mentioned monitoring the brake fluid and on top of that you said “use the appropriate sized socket”? WTF you are doing a brake job and you don’t even know? The whole point of a video is to make things easier. Btw. ASE Master Tech (retired).
I usually just get my rotors resurfaced. do you really have to replace is completely for it to work properly?
Do I have to remove the caliper for any reason if all I am doing is changing pads?
how much do parts cost for both front brakes? how about the rear brakes?
EXCELLENT video. This should save me about $600 worth of "I don't know...Toyotas are pretty hard to work on...might cost extra."
Thank you! We love hearing that! Everything is just nuts and bolts :)
Thanks for the help
Thanks for watching!
Awesome instruction
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video! you just saved me $200
Thank you for watching! I'm glad we could save you some money!
I bought an 07 Tacoma AWD and the previous owner only had the small clips on the slide rod with no break retainer clip or the long wire one that runs horizontal on the caliper which Is the only hardware that came with my new set of breaks and rotor.
I can’t find a break pad retainer clip online that looks like the cross one n your video. so I only installed the slide pin clips and the wire hardware installed horizontal on the caliper with my new breaks and rotates.
Has anyone found that cross looking break retainer clip?
When should we replace our rotors for the Tacoma?
Really good video ... got my tire off and find that my brakes still have 90% of life i changed them like 4 years ago..i guess me driving like and old man extendends life time
Yeah your driving style has a big impact and how much you drive and if you live in a hilly area. Thanks for watching!
Very good. I've never replaced brake pads before but now think I can do it. Losing faith with the folks at the dealership and that's a shame.
Are these the same as a 2007 FJ cruiser
Good instructional video. At 3:00 I think you meant to say _hub_ assembly.
Yep! Thanks for watching!
My Taco 2006 looked nothing like this! I have a 2006 4x4, and there are two cotter pins, and one spring thing at the bottom. Go to NAPA auto parts and get the premium street pads (about $64); if your paying more, your getting ripped off. The NAPA premium should come with all the pins, springs, and grease. I liked the old OEM cotter pins better, so I reused them. This was my first brake job that I have done in over 30 years. Very easy if you watch the OTHER videos that demonstrate the correct brake anatomy. Maybe this video is that of the Prerunner; not sure, but definitely didn't represent what I have. Also, get some sandpaper and rub off the two large pins that hold the pads in place. Lightly rub them down afterwards with some high temp grease to prevent rust. Torque the lugs to 85 ft. lbs. After all is done start the truck and pump your brakes about 5-6 times to pressurize the lines, and you should be good to go! If I can do this, anyone can.
Great video! Quick question. Just got a brake job done at my dealership and they only changed the pads. I am feeling a vibration/ grinding feeling in the brake pedal. I think it may be the rotors. If I change them do I need to change the pads again also? Thanks!
That's strange. Usually you replace the rotors and pads at the same time because you want to break them in together. Yeah I mean it sounds like the new pads aren't mating well with the old rotor OR the new pads weren't broken in properly. Thanks for watching!
You don't let the break fluid bleed out before putting on the tire?
In the beginning of the video, should the cap of the brake fluid reservoir be removed to allow the fluid level to rise back in?
Then the cap replaced following the job? Just wondering if this step is necessary but omitted, or unnecessary.
I seen it on another video, and I did just that. No issues. Just remember to re-seat the cap when done. Won't hurt to do it. Might make pushing the calipers back easier.
I never push the fluid back in. will that damage the master cylinder gasket?
Thanks
Good video looks like its easy to do when everything isnt rusted to hell and back, i'm going to have to drill one of those slide pins out its so bad.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, first of all, thanks for this video. I have a question...(many videos that show break pads replacement), I noticed that they apply some kind of liquid substance to the pads. What is it, and is it needed?
This is an anti-squeak substance, most quality pads will not need this.
Is this for the V4 or V6
Great video !!! Will this work for the 2015 tacomas ??? Thanks
It will be very similar if not the same. Thank you for watching!
Exelent video
Thanks for watching!
Will this procedure work on my 2008 fj cruiser? Great video by the way!
It will be very very similar if not the same. Thanks for watching!
much appreciated !
Thank you for showing me how to do this. I need new brakes I think
Thanks for watching Brent!
I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser Base. Would the Brake/Rotor replacement be the same or very similar?
have they answered your question...I have a 2008... would like to know also...
good video music is annoying
At the end, when you press the brake pedal until you feel resistance, are you doing it with the vehicle running?
Vehicle not running. Thanks for watching!
Do you not need to apply anti-squeal compound between the pads and calipers or lightly grease the guide pins?
We do not recommend to the novice person to grease around the brake pads because any contact with grease on the pads will contaminate the pad needing to be replaced. This vehicle is a California car where we have less rust problems and it was a clean car for the most part not needing grease.
No lube?
Nice shoes!
Glad you like them!
The narrator sounds like the guy from SuperfoodEvolution!
:D
My front pads are just worn on my 2009 Tacoma. Could I have the rotors turned, replace with new rotors or Just replace the pads and hardware? I do not have a pulsating brake pedal and my rotors are worn smooth.
Personally I would change the rotors and pads at the same time. New rotors can be had for pretty cheap off of Amazon.com you could turn them but it makes more sense to buy new ones as they will last longer and they won't cost that much more.
quick question not expecting a quick response but when do you need to bleed brakes? It's funny because I've had an engine apart and back together but I don't know much about bleeding brakes🤣
When ever there is air in the brake system. So the brake system will not work if there is any air in it. That is when you would need to bleed your brakes. Thank you for watching!
I don't see any problems with this video 👍
2CarPros what kind of tool Is that on 2:17
Should you let air out the breaks when done with everything? And what video would be good for that
The system was never opened so there is no air to bleed. Thanks for watching!
grease points?
Would this also work for a FJ Cruiser?
Yeah it should be really similar! Thank you so much for watching!
Will forcing the brake fluid back into the master cylinder cause some problems?
I was taught to remove the cap on the M S for possible expansion.
My 2011 Tacoma brakes do not look like the ones in this vid at all.
Crap.
David Georgia the metal clip would be the retainer. The one in this video was that large center piece for some reason
Looks like a first gen Tacoma not a second gen
I noticed that there was no grease used on this brake job, is this normal? Wouldn't it squeak?
The grease (high temp brake grease) will prevent rusting of the pins.
Badazz!
do all the base Tacomas with 6 lug wheels have dual piston calipers?
I believe so! Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros can save a fair amount of money doing it myself, thanks for the videos
класс!!cool
how important is the lube on the back side of the brake pads?
I never do that. I don't like lube anywhere it can get hot, turn to a liquid, get on the brake surface, and prevent them from working. Thanks for watching!
what about the grease? Mine came with grease...
