You deserve technicians pay for these videos. They have saved me thousands

This is one of the most important channels I watch. Thanks for your knowledge!

Thanks for the tip about using a bolt to free the rotors - it saved me fro giving up after spending about half an hour trying to pry and bash the rotor loose. I watched at least 4 videos about Toyota brakes and you were the first one to mention the trick with the bolt.

I’ve been following this channel since the early days when it first started. And I’m so happy for this individual and what he has accomplished. He’s so good that I knew he would tell me the bolt size to remove the rotor

I was unaware of the The 8x1.25 trick. I’m a pretty good parts changer…and that’s about it! No matter how simple a job may seem…the Guidance and experience of a good mechanic should never be overlooked. Great Vid ! I watch all of of these !

You need to make more repair videos. They are really good.

I love your videos, Sir! My old Pontiac Vibe (the GM's Matrix twin brother) has been my school where I apply many of your teachings! And in those videos broken in 3 parts, now I get blessed 3 times more in the end! 😄 May the Lord bless you as well! Cheers from the biggest salt/rust belt in North America: 🇨🇦

Every time I watch you videos not only am I thankful for you sharing your knowledge, I’m thankful I don’t live in an area where rust is a common occurrence!

Any chance you could do one of these for the drum brakes on a tacoma? Love your channel thanks for taking the mystery out owning a Toyota.

Such an underrated channel. Thank you for making all these videos!

This is what I call a proper video. Showing the work performed as it is supposed to be done. Thank you for the hands on videos. I look forward to more of them. Great job

Your 3 part series provides excellent information. Worth its weight in gold is the use of the manifold cover bolt to remove the rotors. Thanks for making this series.

I use copper spray on wheel hub under brake disk. It is thin coat of copper and really prevents rust!

Great video AMD! It's refreshing to watch a brake video that's catered to ONLY Toyota. I'm excited to watch the rest of the series.

Thanks, AMD for your video series on brakes. I chewed up two bolts trying to get the rotors off. I got a hardened M8 bolt from the hardware store and it will stay in my toolbox for the next brake job. Thanks for helping me save over $1000.00 at the dealer. It was very therapeutic working on my car for 4-hours.

Good advice about topping up brake fluid reservoir 👍Makes complete sense that the fluid level will drop as pads wear bcoz fluid will be filling up the brske calliper !

Looking forward to the rest of the series. I love the DIY videos, always a good reference when doing jobs like this. Thanks!

Just replaced the front brakes and rotors on my daughter’s 2014 Camry. I tried to palm strike them and they didn’t budge. I went to get my sledge hammer to knock them off. Fortunately, I hit it one time (not super hard). I recalled you had this series. Sure enough, I took off that manifold bolt and use it. Rotors popped right off. Thanks again!

This is pure gold...I've been doing brakes for years and you've got some good tips here and I can be confident that you have the correct info! One thing I've found on my 4Runner is that the bolt that holds the caliper also fits the rotor quick release hole. (at least I think that's the one I used...been a year ago). The Lord Bless you my friend!

I Love for this Toyota the Thread in the Rotor just so simple und genius at one Time:)

Was able to change my own sealed transmission oil cuz of your helpful tips without using scangauge.👍 Will be doing my brakes soon perfect timing you making this tutorial.😁

Now that was a well explained video. I noticed you used the Quick Jack Lift System, that's a great choice. I do minor repairs on my vehicles, replacing brake pads is one them. My neighbor owns a 2013 Avelon, Toyota dealer wanted an arm and to complete a brake job. So, I you tubed it and came across your channel and lucky for him your video gave me the confidence to the job. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks A, used your exhaust manifold bolt tip to remove a stuck rotor..... your great!

Absolutely enjoying your series! Helps me keep informed about maintenance on my 18 Highlander SE.

I love your videos and advice. I really appreciate you put your time into this.

Love your videos. Wish every mechanic did fascinating work like me and you!!!

Watching this video in August 2023 I have to say that you have come a long way, AMD. The wisdom and technical know how is still the same, but your youtuber skills have improved significantly…

Thank you for making my life easier! Your videos are great!

I've never changed brakes on my car before, but after watching your electric brake tutorial, I changed my rear brake pads with no problem. I was a little nervous at first because the Piston didn't retract after the gear did. So I watched you video again, and realized that I had to depress the Piston.

Hi thanks for making this video. I watch most of your videos as I own a Toyota Corolla. Doing a break job. I have seen this before. You can make a full length video. I always watch till the end. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Your aiming is EXCELLENT, I picked up a 2017 RX350 with 25k miles in May, the brakes are pretty much done at this point, fronts are 2mm and rears 4mm. My guess is the vehicle was mostly city driven in rush hour traffic. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series. I have done brakes on my Camry and RAV4 previously and it is refreshing to see how the job is done the proper way. Thank you for taking the time to film these videos, I find all of your videos to be tremendously helpful.

Nice to know about the bolt on exhaust shield. 👍

The moment I saw that caliper compression tool, I paused the video, clicked the Amazon link, and bought one. Using channel locks or whatever else to get it in all the way works fine, but why wouldn't I use that perfectly purpose-built tool for $15?? Love it. SUBSCRIBED!

Love your videos, I am preparing my learning for my upcoming 1st car! Thankyou so much!

You are a true blessing to us, thank you for doing all that, saving a lot of money.

This is just what I need ! Getting ready to do a brake job on wife's 2006 Camry SE. Stops ok, but brake pedal pulsates on quick stops. Brakes done at a shop 50K miles ago, been this was for most of 30K now. I am going to install new front rotors and pads.

this guy should have at least 10 million subscribers! thank you

Thanks again for the knowledge. Really like the information to help me become a better diagnostic technician

Thank you for the video. Short and sweet! Just did my wife's brakes. The caliper boots wouldn't recess flush however I was able to finess them into position to clear the caliper ring(s). Very informative! 👌

Folks can save SO much money learning to do a brake job themselves. I just did my son-in-laws front rotors/pad yesterday. 13-year old rusted-on rotors are a major pain to remove but the 8mm bolt trick did it. (But not all cars have this.) I used a little anti-seize after running a wire brush on the hub which is supposed to also have anti-rust properties. The aluminum clips that hold the pads to the caliper are always a major pain...I hate those things!

A good tip for cleaning the hub is to use a silicone brushed rotary cleaning wheel. Also good for water pump mating surfaces where you don't want to remove metal and only want to remove gasket material.

Definitely saved me a lot of money. I never top my fluid off. It will end up all over the floor. LOL. thanks for posting this.

Thanks...I had a frozen rotor on my 2009 Scion TC....I went and got the bolt from the shield and the rotor came right off! Thanks again!

First advise is already solid!! U r heaven sent :)

Thank you, very thorough steps.

Great video, thanks. I always wanted to to watch this how to maintenance.

Great series

Great info. Thanks

The pleasure is all mine! God bless you!

AMD you are The Man ! Thanks for the video !

Thanks for your tutorial videos they are really great and helpful. I bled my brake fluid last year and this year when I checked the condition of the pads for all four wheels as you mentioned in your videos I recessed the caliper pistons. the strange thing that happened is that a little bit of the fluid forced out of the master cylinder reservoir and I see a couple of bubbles at the surface of the reservoir. should I repeat the bleeding process? or something else could have gone wrong?

Another great video!! Ty once again 🙃

Good Afternoon The Car Care Nut take care and have a great day 👍 Great tutorial thank you very helpful video 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

You are the best... keep going

Great video

So i just replaced my brake using basicaly this video as a tutorial and it was mostly complete. Only hardship I really encountered was the calliper braket bolt being seized. It took a couple hour, a torch and a breaker bar to get free!

I used a c clamp to compress my brake piston based on advice from some backyard mechanic video. It worked, but perhaps not as easily or correctly as of I had the tool you showed. I prefer to use the right tool for the right job when possible so I appreciate you showing us and linking to one we can buy

Thanks for the awesome video! Idk if it makes a difference but I like to pop a tube that’s connected to my trusted Gatorade bottle half filled with clean brake fluid onto the bleeder and crack the bleeder as I compress the caliper. I’ve always heard that the fluid here is the dirtiest so best not to put it back into the cylinder. He’ll probably bleed the brakes later to get all that out. Idk which way is correct. Just saying! Also, anytime you scrub or whatever with brakes, spray it down with copious amounts of brakleen to minimize the dust with a drain pan underneath. I also will wear and n95 in addition to eye protection and do it outside Or have a fan on to blow stuff away from me.

Thank you !!!

I love the fact that I know exactly what he means when he talks Chicago streets and conditions! 😂

This guy is great

Thanks!

Just started watching this series from your awesome playlists and I'm super excited! Regarding 2.56: I was also surprised to learn that Supras and 86s are actually BMWs and Subarus under the hood! What muscle/sports cars/sedans do you think are reliable in the current automotive market? Thanks!

Thank you

Looking forward this video, I waited next second….

Lots of questions and comments on pressing the piston of the caliper in. The brake fluid is a closed system. If all pads are new, then the fluid level is at full as long as there are no leaks. As the pads wear the fluid level drops. You do not add fluid unless there is a leak. Prior to compressing the piston open the brake fluid cap and replace the cap soon after the compression to prevent moisture from getting in.

Hey Amd, I have a question about a 2015 Toyota Sienna XLE 2WD. I recently needed to replace the front brakes and rotors as they had been cut at least once by my dealer and were vibrating during hard braking as well as the pads were down to 2MM. I was able to get a great deal for OEM Toyota pads and rotors (I love using OEM!!) from a local dealer with free shipping from Toyota! I have been doing brakes for 40 years and have done the rears on this van but never the fronts. I watched your entire video and THANK YOU for the trick to putting the pads on with the spring clip that pushes them out! Upon inspection of the caliper bracket, I pulled the slide pins and noticed the top pin had the grove for the rubber bush. There was none installed and none jammed inside the caliper bracket. Both sides were missing the rubber bush and two of the four dust boots had slices in them. After looking at the parts page for Toyota, you can't get the rubber boots without a full caliper build kit. The question I have is, The van has been driving for over 20K miles with no rubber bushes, should I replace them with OEM, Aftermarket, and what to do about the dust boots? I can get aftermarket easily that comes as a kit with the bushes. I have had experience in the past that the bushes will swell and stick in the sleeve which is why I think the dealer may have pulled them off and not replaced them. Your thoughts? I do agree with you, Use OEM and put everything back as the engineers designed! BTW, thank you for all you do! Your vids are great and really appreciated! I wish you were closer to Atlanta (or me to Chicago)!

Great Job Please keep up the great work 😂

Hi AMD, Which product would you recommend for garage floor coating. Looking for something that will stand up to floor jacks and jack stands.

Love your videos. Regarding disc brake rotors when do we replace rotors?

This guy is something else🥸💪🏻

Whizzy wheel works good on the lug plate

What do you think of using something like Birchwood Casey Barricade on surfaces like where the brake rotor meets the hub? I use Barricade for things like this. It is made for guns.

I like the shorter format!

Hi can you also do lots of new gen rav4 how-tos? There's really not a lot of videos out there to help me.

Hi AMD thanks for you informative videos on maintenance and I have a question concerning my Toyota Rav4 2017 LE AWD (Bought these brand new in 2017) I have this brake issue for almost 2 years now and every time I have my scheduled oil change I always bring up the issue and they also tried to fixed it but still the symptoms still exist, the problem is the squeaking noise in the morning and sometimes the noise occur when the car is already running and you will hear it when you apply the brakes when running 5-10MPH traffic, the problem started when they changed my brake pads per Toyota recommendation and I don't have these problem since I bought these and it was the first time it was replaced, I'm just wondering I did not hear any squeaking noise where my car was exposed in Rain, snow, undergo extreme weather but I don't recall any noise, they already changed the pads, disc (All Toyota parts, never service my car outside Toyota center) even their Toyota Chief Mechanic checked it and drive with me and the funny was there was no noise at all, but I did showed him my recording cuz I took a video. it was checked several times maybe 4 times already cuz I already reached my complaint to HR cuz I'm already tired dealing with the issue. and my last visit the Sr. Chief Mechanic told me maybe he is already tired dealing with me saying that my car is already getting older and even he compared his Lexus that its also hear noise on the brake blah blah, don't know if its true or just trying to "get over with this guy" and also he is explains that the weather is a factor like in the morning where its cold or hot there is a possibility of the brake adjust/expands etc etc., yes I agree it make sense BUT why is not happening before it was replaced ? and if my brakes starts to wear it should make noises, that's why when they said it needs replacement I was thinking why? all my brakes are okay they worked, no noise but not an expert.. I saw a video in youtube showing same noise problem and its a Toyota RAV 4, the mechanic showed the issue that the noise is from the "Hardware" 2 pcs of thin sheets you know this near the disc brake that causes the noise and needs replacement, I tried to ask the mechanic but it was not address cuz its not in the handbook list or something Toyota mechanic things to do list depending on Miles. Please any ideas as Toyota Sr. Mechanic any recommendation that I might says to the mechanic on my next visit for oil change/check-up is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking time with my inquiry.

Don't pay any attention to our friends with attention deficit disorder. Your videos are fine, no need to shorten them or divide them. If people can't sit down and pay attention for the duration of the video they can always hit pause, take a beer brake and then come back when they're ready. Your videos are perfectly timed. 😜

Hello, Thank you for all the info ,My car accelerates by itself every morning when it is cold and the changes do not happen after it is warm, everything flows normally.

Hi 👋🏾. What is the best place to order my break pads/rotors and the drum with it’s replacement attachments?

As a Celica owner with 19mm Lugnuts Im Offended. Love your channel and your videos though!

do you happen to know what is the torque spec for honda hrv 2020? on the slider pins and the bolts for calipers thanks

When changing the rear rotors, shall I put the emergency brake on or off? How to adjust the brake shoes? Thanks!

HEY I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE A VIDEO ON REAR DISK BRAKES. COUGH COUGH 2014 COROLLA

Hi there...just wanted to say great video. Getting ready to buy brake pads from Toyota...not the YZZ version either. 😃 Per chance, anything different on a 2016 Tacoma Sport 4wd that I should worry about? I was thinking of buying new rotors as well, but possibly not Toyota...I'll accept your recommendation whatever it is. And, I prefer any video from you short in length or longer....your information is worth the price of admission!! Take care and be safe out there!

It has been my experience that when the fluid level gets to the low mark on a Toyota, as in, the BRAKE light comes on occasionally, the front brake pads are worn to the limit. So a sort of "Unofficial" brake wear indicator when that master cylinder float sets off the light. Now, this is of course if no one has added fluid to the master cylinder, so not a fool proof method, just a general indicator that I have found.

Hi boss love your videos 👌🏻❤️ I have a 4Runner 2002 limited. I’m Planning on doing my own pads and rotors job. Do I have to crack the bleeder screw valve to compress the pads? Or even do the brake job? And has well should I leave the brake reservoir cap open while doing this job.

Additional tip - apply a very thin coat of anti-seize between the hub and the rotor - too much and the rotor will actually not sit flush and give you vibration.

Man I miss that gen of Camry. I put on thousands of those trans mounts in the view. So much easier than the new Camry LOL.

Does this apply to a 2003 Sienna? Thank you!

Hi could you please make a video of how to replace rear wheel bearing on a Tacoma 2022. Thank you!!

Can you do tacoma rear drum brakes that would be a life saver

Hi. Thanks for the vid. How do you get the turkey baster down to the fluid? There is a plastic filter that blocks you from going too deep. Must the filter be removed?

What’s your opinion on opening the bleed screw when changing out the brake pads? Supposedly it prevents any damage to the ABS. Personally I’ve never opened the bleeder screw and I never had any issues… yet?

What kind of grease you use on the plate that latches on the rotor?

Should the brake fluid be bled everything pads or shoes are changed?

Hi I really enjoy your video and your expert knowledge and I hope I can learn quite a few things as I received a 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 2wd 2dr and it is a configuration that I have gotten so many comments from people saying that they have never seen the same opinion model I have it’s a 5.7 iforce and a 6 spd auto that can be shifted either manually or drop it in drive and go first of all it was a Christmas gift from a friend/ customer of mine that I have been doing work for since 1995 I am a welder fabricator and I also do Truck&trailer and equipment repair. Anyway my truck has 517,670 miles on it and it doesn’t use a drop of oil and I want to keep it for as long as I can I’m 67 and I drive 500-1000 miles a week and I want to restore my truck how do I find out the number of this truck were made it was Brilliant Red stock and it came with 22” aluminum alloy Toyota factory rims and the center caps say TRO I LOVE THIS TRUCK He always changed the oil and filter at about 3,500 using only Toyota paper filters and 5W30 conventional motor oil I do the same thing but I’m using a high mileage type now just wondering. Keep up your great video show I am playing catch-up for educational purposes and I just want to thank you for your service to the many Toyota owners

I have 2 screws in a bag in my tool box for taking the calibers off 😂. Don't touch those screws I say. I love this on Toyota.

I took my Tundra in for spongy and sinking brake pedal , I scheduled a appointment and explained to the service manager and we agreed to a Tech stream bleed , I watched and they did not do a Tech stream bleed , so I insisted they do , 4.5 hrs later I ended up with a spongy sinking pedal and told it was normal, I left with a paint chip and missing bleeder screw cap , disputing the charge and would like to reach out to corporate !!
