Hands down the best Tacoma brake video I've seen to date. Subbed!

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.

Perfectly explained video! Thanks to you my 09 Tacoma will get a diy brake job. Thanks for posting.

That video is absolutely the clearest, easiest to understand instruction video I have seen, Good job.

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

I think this is a great job well done. Thank you with your detail instructions.

Great Video! Makes my job a whole lot easier on my 2009 Pre-Runner!!!!

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.

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 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 🍻

I didnt fully trust you until i seen the shoes...im hands down a fan now haha great video guys

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?

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

How about doing one for the five-lug 4-cyl base model Tacoma

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.

Not only the video is good, but Tacomas rock! sub'd/thumbs up.

Wow! You guys rock!! It’s 3am, and I wanna go outside and replace my brake pads right now!!

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.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

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

Awesome! Thanks for this I will use this and just do it myself.

On my 2008 tacoma there are 2 threaded spots on the rotor where you can insert 2 bolts turn clockwise and loosen the rotor.

Great video ,super easy to follow the steps by how you also narrate. Thanks

Thank you for the great video. Easy to follow and helped me do it exactly as needed. Subscribing..

Great video thanks for the info.

Great video, however my 05 Tacoma (base 4x2) has different brake set up, nothing like what you showed. Can you help???

Very good video; thanks for posting it.

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.

Great Educational video.

This is so easy campare to my nissan frontier 2001 4x4 u need to remove hubs but is tacoma 4x4 has free hubs too?

This helped out today. Thanks for posting.

Awesome! This could very well be the easiest brake job that I have ever done. Thanks for the video!

super muy exelente trabajo y video trabajo

I need to know What weight is the Hammer that you use to loosen the rotor ?

Very good explanation.thank you 🙏🏼

What took you used to take of the bolts on the back of the rotor on 2:17 is it Matco? @2carpros

Agree excellent video

Will this same technique apply to a 2010 Toyota Sequoia?

Thank you. I just saved $300 bucs watching 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!

Badass video. loving the music too!

Great video thanks for the info.

Omg thank you so much you guys ate the best 👌

I like this video!

I have a 2004 prerummer do I follow the same steps in the video?

Do I have to remove the caliper for any reason if all I am doing is changing pads?

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?

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?

Best video thank you doing it next week saving $$$$$

I thing this is the best video

how much do parts cost for both front brakes? how about the rear brakes?

Awesome instruction

I usually just get my rotors resurfaced. do you really have to replace is completely for it to work properly?

always use a torque wrench on aluminum wheels or you'll warp those rotors fast

Thanks for the help

When should we replace our rotors for the Tacoma?

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

awesome video! you just saved me $200

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

Are these the same as a 2007 FJ cruiser

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.

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.

You don't let the break fluid bleed out before putting on the tire?

EXCELLENT video. This should save me about $600 worth of "I don't know...Toyotas are pretty hard to work on...might cost extra."

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.

Is this for the V4 or V6

Thanks

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!

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?

No lube?

a video with none of the 'yah knows', 'this goes there', 'um'...even though out there for awhile, best of the tutorials-thanks

Good instructional video. At 3:00 I think you meant to say _hub_ assembly.

Exelent video

Nice shoes!

2CarPros what kind of tool Is that on 2:17

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.

I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser Base. Would the Brake/Rotor replacement be the same or very similar?

At the end, when you press the brake pedal until you feel resistance, are you doing it with the vehicle running?

Thank you for showing me how to do this. I need new brakes I think

Do you not need to apply anti-squeal compound between the pads and calipers or lightly grease the guide pins?

My 2011 Tacoma brakes do not look like the ones in this vid at all.

Great video !!! Will this work for the 2015 tacomas ??? Thanks

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.

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🤣

I don't see any problems with this video 👍

Will this procedure work on my 2008 fj cruiser? Great video by the way!

Should you let air out the breaks when done with everything? And what video would be good for that

good video music is annoying

grease points?

I noticed that there was no grease used on this brake job, is this normal? Wouldn't it squeak?

do all the base Tacomas with 6 lug wheels have dual piston calipers?

Will forcing the brake fluid back into the master cylinder cause some problems?

Would this also work for a FJ Cruiser?

Badazz!

класс!!cool

The front brake on a 2012 Tacoma are different than what they show in this video,

The 2007 FJ cruiser would be really similar to this I'm guessing
