Heli4213,2007 Toyota 4Runner Front Brake pads

- I was looking at some online videos for brakes and many people are using flashlights to film with and you cant see anything. So I made my own I hope it helps some out. 2007 Toyota 4Runner,V8 Front brake pad replacement work. This is a fast job and almost anyone can do it. It takes almost more time to take off the front wheel than do the work. I hope this helps with your brake project as you can also save a boatload of money doing it yourself.

Thanks for this vid. A decade later and this is still the best lit and camera angled video on the 4th gen front brakes
Wow I really appreciate that. I know when I made this I couldn't find any videos that DID NOT SUCK !! gLAD IT HELPRD.
Pulled this video up because I took the spring off without paying attention to how it went on. Life saver
I've been using the potty pads for years. Nice to see someone else use them
Awesome
Perfect.......Wish all instructional videos were that clear. Thanks !!!!!
Thanks Colin, I hate when people post videos and you cant see anything. Maybe they should try watching before they post. Glad it was good for you thanks !!!!!
GREAT VIDEO SIR - You're exactly right, the vids I've seen are poorly lit AND poorly explained. I always do my own wrenching however I have never done the brakes on my '03 4 Runner. I prob would have attempted to remove the entire caliper leaving me with a puddle of fluid in my lap! Thanks for taking the time brother. Be safe
Thanks for the puppy pad suggestion. I am always getting oil spots on my driveway.
Good job my friend this is to the point and beats all the other semi pro changing brakes productions 28 minutes long on uTube. Thank you!!
Thanks. I was trying to make it easy for guys like me. Glad you liked it!!
Great job on the video! Short and intuitive, No monkeying around with talking about all the parts and what they do just straight to the point! Very clear instructions!
Glad you liked it !!!!
Great video. I didn't know the front and rear brakes were different. Only replaced the rear so far. This is helpful!
That is the best displays I have seen to remove the lower clamp. You had me scared at first on the reinstall. Thanks for the information. I would like to see someone cover the measurements of the rotors to reveal if it needs replaced.
Thanks for the video, tomorrow I'm doing front pads and calipers.
Great quality! Thanks for doing this.
To all of the people who liked these video's. I will be posting more on the truck little by little from small things to bigger thing's. Some very basic but some people really need more help. I have been getting tons of requests on doing the cabin air filter so I will be doing that soon. Glad I could help keep more money in your pockets instead of the dealers pocket !!!!
Heli4213 very smart, thats what i did too was use the old pad and a C-clamp to force the calipers back in, theres no need to mess with the bleeder , just take the resevor cap off and drain off a tad bit off fluid with something
I'm about to do mine on my 06 4runner, very easy and smooth. thanks you Sir.
Outstanding video! The lighting is great...thanks.
very well done, easy to follow and great job
Great video bro.. Excellent footage, lighting and information.
Glad it helped
Thanks for making all the silly mistakes for us - no better way of avoiding a mistake than seeing someone else making it.
Very good video brotha love the tip about the puppy pads now I’m going to use that. Thanks
thank you so much !!! IT WAS A GOD SEND !!!!
Thank you my friend you just save me a lot !
Glad you liked it !!!!!!
This is soo helpful. Thank you
THANK YOU!
Its true these Toy rotors are really heavy duty and dont warp up like US built trucks as long as someone didnt change them out for the cheap aftermarket ones you can still do this.
Or, if the pads dont get changed in time grooving them, & trucks not driven long periods with caliper stuck these rotors indeed last a very long time. Ignoring problems & brake sounds is costly.
I remember when all rotors were built like this, we never turned them unless grooved up or vibration is felt while braking. Lightweight fuel saving rotors became a shops excuse to make alot more money on every brake job since early 80's so now people automaticly toss their better parts for junk ones. Mechanics know this but dont care until its their cars parts, then they do it like this...lol
Remember, most shops pay mechanics commission for any extra part/job he sells you needed or not, they are salesman too...$$$
Great video' thanks for taking time.
Glad you liked the video!!!!!
Great clear video. Just did my rear brakes...same car. A little more complicated to change rotors and pads. When bleeding my brakes No Video I found mentioned needing to start the engine in order to be able to pump the pedal and force fluid thru the lines to bleed. Engine off= no fluid when pumping the brake. Not sure technically why but it’s probably something simp,e.
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Athene,
Glad it was helpful !!!!!
Thanks so much bro💯👍
Great job!! Thanks.
My front left I believe are squeaking when I brake - sometimes . I Took to get them checked and I was told they are good but had just today looked at them and seems to be a bit more than 1/8 of an inch of pad left....should I change them and if I do the front do I need to do the back as well?? 2 vs four?
Great video 👌🏼
Thanks🙂🙂🙂🙂
thanks great video! i have the FJ 2007 i think the installation might be the same.
Nice - thanks very much.
Ok.thanks..and good video.
very nice, will help me on my GX
7:17 the anti rattle looks up-side-down. 7:23 it magically flips to the correct position. Maybe noticed in earlier posts but I have some brakes to finish. Very clear and helpful video otherwise. Thank you.
hi, did you just press on your brakes to push the pistons back onto the pad or did you use a different method. Any bleeding needed?
You had to flip the anti-rattle pin lol I had to do same. This video helped a lot. I've got track control light on in my truck after I replaced brakes because being the disease I am I opened the bleeder to back off pressure to one of the pistons that would not move. I only bled one side does anyone know if that's what could make traction light stay on?
Great video, Please reupload in 720P if you can. Im sure there is a help video. might have not checked off HD..
My mechanic didnt realize they forgot the raddle spring. good to have a video on how to do it properly!
Bardia Ghajari most mechanics are careless. so it's nice to learn & do it. thanks to these guys.
Thank you!!
THANKS FANTASTIC
1/8 is barley enough pad no matter what they say. I would replace them. The back last twice as long as the front. For every second change on the front do the back no matter what. The exact ratio on the 4Runner is the front does 80 % and the back does 20%. Yes do the front not worth getting in an accident over. Good luck let me know if you have any questions.
hi there I saw other video .and they put the pad wiht the sensor inside .on the right side of the caliper....now I'm confused.
Nice
Grasias. Exelente. Vudeo
Cotter pins need to be curled around the mount pin or will rattle out and jack up your brakes when they fall out on the road.
What size C-Clamp are you using?
how big are the caliper bolts I gotta replace rotors
so you did now show how to compress the calipers on video like the others do.
when he installed new pad, you can see clearly the piston was compressed, the video is incomplete
Isnt the grease going to be worthless with all the road debri and brake dust sticking to it?
Seems like it would cause more harm than good.
Besides that the video is extremely informative. Thanks!
You didnt show how to compress the piston back into the caliper , its different because theres four pistons.
Just wanna make sure everything's new and they're so inexpensive that's why
Why do you change the pins?
Because the rotors on this vehicle are super duty custom. These are not normal rotors and can last a break change no problem.
i cannot get the inner pistons to reseat. i have tried everthing!
this is the same as a gx470??
Amazing video. Looks very simple. Any brake pads you recommend for my 05 4runner v6? Thank you.
I would say just top end for a truck like that its worth it!!
I wish I would have watched the video first because I took the entire caliper off!
THUNDERBIRD!! My bolts for the caliper are 19mm vs the 17mm I’ve seen on other videos with a 5th gen 4runner. Can’t get these bolts loose haha
mine is correct
Just got me an 07 runner for the ease of dealing with mechanical stuff and this video just proved that …! How frequent do you guys find yourselves changing break pads? I read they go fast on this vehicles?
It's a very heavy truck, I'm pretty rough on my brakes. I'm always slamming on the brakes.
I replace mind probably every year or every 12000 miles. That's just because I beat on them.
Got a 2007 with 250k. Just changed all 4 wheels for the 3rd time.
No one beats a Toyota.
Is that a harbor freight C clamp? I’m asking because that’s what I use. Lol
I have a 99 year basically the same setup good video though
Well they say always add Greece so just do
Great video!
Forgot to live the pistons though
What about bleeding the brake line?
You don't need to bleed the brake fluid. If you don't open the brake line while replacing the regular brake no need to bleed. If you replace the line or caliper then that is one of the only times to bleed the brake fluid.
fresh brake fluid makes your calipers work better and last longer...
Are 2003 brakes different in procedure
joggnme3 2003 to 2009 are all the same, I think. Haynes and Chilton manuals both grouped 03-09 in the same book.
new pins ...good idea!
also important to remove old brake fluid and replace with new... moisture concern..
Dog pads ✅
Hehehe
Why didn't you replace the Rotors also?? Kindy waste of time just replacing just the pads.
