I just changed the rotor and the brake pads for my husband's Toyota Corolla S 2011 and it was very easy. Not bad for a lady that has a husband that can't put a nail on a wall..lol.. Thanks.

Growing up as daddy's little girl, I learned how to repair a car at a very early age, but they were older cars where you had to bleed the brakes, etc, so when my Corollas brakes were starting to scrub, I got nervous about changing them, since I've never worked on a car this new, it's a 2016, anyway, you made it look so easy and really put my mind at ease with it, thanks. It took longer to jack the car up and take the tire off than it did to swap out the pads, YAY! I hope you have a video for the back brakes for when I need to do those!!

As someone who only knew how to change a tire, I was able to successfully switch out my rotors and brake pads thanks to you!! Super easy process, and phenomenal video. Thanks a million!!

Definitely use jack stands. I found out the hard way a long time ago. When I put the key in the ignition and turned the wheel, the jack slipped out and the car landed on the rotor. Luckily I was able to put a floor jack under the front and lift it up. I definitely lucked out and the rotor wasn't damaged, but was replacing them anyway. Ever since that I always use a jack stand and keep the jack in place only as a backup. Do not skip that step!

By far the best brake video I have ever seen. Amazing work buddy.

Dude this vid was dope asf. Totally loved it. Very explanatory 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. My first time changing my brakes for my 2015 Toyota corrola

Thank you for doing this video!

Thats a very good trick for pushing that piston in, otherwise you end up struggling later finding a tool to do it. Never thought about it. Thanks !

Super good video..one of the best brake installs I have seen on here. Keep up the good work!!

Great video Sir, great tips !!! Keep up the good works !!! Cheers !!!

Dude, I just subscribed to your channel. Great detailed video! Thanks to you this is pretty much an easy do it yourself type of job that will save me $$$ down the road!

You just got yourself a subscriber! Well done video, short and to the point. Description was very good as well.

I saw that "classic reach around". (ha ha) Your videos are a joy to watch!

Gonna be my first time changing the brake pads today, this video is very helpful 👍🏼

I just discovered your channel and I am subscribing just as soon as I finish this message. I also made a few videos on KZfaq and found out it was harder than I thought. So I really appreciate channels like yours. 👍🏾

thanks man the video was super helpful I did both sides in under 40 min and the little trick by not loosening only the bottom bolt made things much easier

First time to change my rotors, your video just made it happen!

Very good video. To the point and no nonsense. Thanks!

i would never thought I could do this until watching this video!!!! i will be doing this job myself and saving a few hundreds dollars!!! thanks!!!!!!!

Exceptional video! Great tips on cleaning and greasing that I did not know! Thanks for the much needed help!

One of best step by step video’s I’ve watched. Only wish they did such a thorough job when in the shop!

Nice video step-by-step you just gave me confidence to do it myself

Wow....excellent video. Thankful to you

Thankyou great video, you make me feel confident in doing my own brakes, it actually looks very easy

New subscriber nice video nice camera angle everything was well put. Bravo will be checking in for more content 💪🏿

Great video, exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you for amazing video, straight to the point without horse shitting around, great job, sir.

Thanks for your video. It helps a lot.

Thanks for the video. Good explanations and easy to follow.

A comprehensive guide! Thanks a l ot.

Thanks for the tutorial !! Very Helpful !!!

The best video! Thanks

Best step by step with 0 bs. I believe anyone with at least basic tool sense can and should do it by himself/herself since even the mechanics charges left and right just for the pad replacement and dealerships are ready to rob you! Update: I finally threw away the lemon pads I was sold by the Baierl Toyota and installed Bosch quitecast following this video and it literally took me about 30 min for the one to understand what's going on and the other one took me about 10 minutes to install the pads. I felt so stupid that time thinking how I wasted about $150 at the dealership for a 20min job with lemon parts! Hey @The mech a nic, please do the rear drums as well!!! ♥

THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, I LIKED SO MUCH. THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS. MIKE

Super helpful. Thanks man!

thank you very much. very informative ,thanks.

Great job. Thank you very much!!!

Really good this way is way easier, Thanks, man.

Sweet vid man. U deserve an Oscar! 🤙🏽👌🏽

Professional thorough job plus great production quality. Great video, narration etc. Great overall job. A company would do well to hire him for their video presentations.

Nice video, very detailed. You do nice work!

This video was very helpful , great detail ❤

Great Video!!!! The best i have ever see it!!!!

Awesome thank you

Thanks for the video , very good info, need to check my wife's 2014 with 130 k miles , You make it look simple !!

Bought new brake pads, rotors, all the lubes and cleaners, that caliper compressor tool and a torque wrench. $210. Followed the steps in the video to the letter and everything works perfectly...and it wasn't hard to do at all. I wonder how much it would've cost me had I taken it to a shop... Because of your video, I saved money and I learned how to change brakes on my car. Thanks, brother!

Very thorough, thank you.

Professional video

Great explanation Sir 😉👍

Amazing amazing AMAZING video Thank u

It's nice to see a video with a job well done and to use the proper torque specifications I've seen guys tightening bolts with hammers and doing a half-assed jobs but this is a pretty good video for sure

Golden video dude... 🙏

Thanks for information 😊

Nice torque specification!!!!

one of the better ones , good video

thanks sir

thank you. nice video

AWESOME. THANKS.

Thanks one of the best and most comprehensive videos I’ve seen on brakes.joe from Australia

Thank man you make life less complicated

Superb!

Thanks!🙂👍

Excellent video bro👍

I love you! I didnt know that trick with the flat head I would just use a c clamp.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I do wish you’d spent more time explaining the position of the clips. That’s the only part I really need help with. Again. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip, new sub here I might do video sharing to my audience as well on KZfaq while I'm changing my break

Good video. Looks like this guy has experience..

I'm back The Mechanic. I wanted to hop up on here and give an update regarding my 2013 corolla S and the death wobble. I had a feeling that it was more serious then just a bad wheel bearing and hub issue. So with further investigation turns out that it is a bad rack and pinion. When you have a lot of play in the steering wheel and wandering at high speeds and then the death wobble with those factors in the equation is a #1 indication of a bad rack and pinion.

Cool helpful video

VERY GREAT JOB PERFECTLY

This video was amazing and you are so informative and helpful with all your tips and information!! 👏👏 Thank you!! One quick question, when you compress the piston isn't a good idea to open up the brake reservoir??

Excellent video!!! Just wondering should I remove the brake reservoir cap before I compress the piston? Thank you! 😊

outstanding.

Thank you so much for the video, mech! Do you think all this would work on a 2019? Or at least, does it use the same parts you bought?

Thank you for valuable information. I seen some other videos were lubricate brake pad side that attach the bracket. Would you recommend it ?

Do you have the torque value for the rear 2017 Corolla? Great video by the way. Helped a lot.

What kind of drill and attachment did you used ? I’m wanting to get one

thanks

What is the size of the bolt you used to remove the rotors?

Excelent tutorial, just a question you mentioned grease (green) for the calipier pins, while other people use silicone . Which one is better?

Will the fact that i didnt add any grease at all when replacing the pads cause a griding noise? Im gonna have to rechek mine tomorrow and grease up all those bolts

Thank you so much I think I'll be trying to change mines since I took it with a mechanic like 3 months ago to get them changed and it sounds like an old ass wheelbarrow -__-

I put new clips and pads in.....they were super tight to put in even after greasing. I went back to the previous clips and the brakes went in much easier. The pads coming out where in there very tightly..

awesome video. what kind of software do you use for editiing videos? thanks

If we just replace brake pads, then do we need to remove bracket to clean, and lubricate? I did my 2--5 Hyundai by remove the caliper and simply clean, lub, and replaced the pads without remove the bracket. I guess it is better to clean it too but taking a little more time.

I saw several things here that I haven't been doing that I now plan to start doing!

The small part missing on top of each brake pad it is really necessary? My mechanic put the old ones in my new brakes but I guess that is the reason is making a noise because he tried to adjust it but now the noise is back.

Just wondering why there was no clips on the brake pad? I made the mistake when I bought a new clip and bushing set and I put 2 sets of clips on the brake pad and when I got to the other side I realized there was only one clip for the top of each pad so I watched your video and I didn’t see any clips on your pads.

The brake pin lube and pin boot must be according to specification. The caliper should slide smoothly. Use toyota grease expensive but do not allow the boot to swell.

Thank you so much for a great and one of the BEST VIDEO, I really appreciate. When you removed old PADS, Each pad has a little Click to be connected to the backing plate, you didn't use them for new pads, Is there not any problem with pads inserting to backing plate ? Please advice. Thank you brother and god bless. Mike

I accidentally loosened the bolt for the brake fluid so some of it dripped on the floor. Do I refill the brake fluid reservoir a little to compensate for the loss?

I want to thank you a lot for the video, made changing my one a lot more easier and really boosted my confidence. I seem to getting some noise from the brakes and rotors, does anyone think that it could be the dust guard rubbing on the rotors? I would like to know if I did anything wrong.

Thanks I just saved myself $100 in labor cost I did it myself

Good work! I have a 2013 matrix. I believe you need a "cube" special tool and rotate the rear brake piston in?

You didn’t need to pull the brake fluid reservoir cap, or add any fluid or anything like that?

Great video. One quick question should you remove brake fluid filler cap before compressing the piston back in

Is it a good idea to put grease on the caliper bolts to make them easier to come out the next time?

My lower slide pin with the bushing on it was also tough to get out. Either the bushing swelled or the bore isn't wide enough. That pin should slide easily

What’s the sizes on the screws did you use to take off the rotos ?

Just got done with doing my front brakes on my 2013 Corolla. Great explanation, conscise steps and really appreciated the torque numbers as well. But my rotors were rusted solid to the hubs. I had to use a propane torch to heat them up, pound with a hammer and then they came off. But I found out that 8 x 1.25mm worked on my brakes drums and rotors.
