Just finished rear brakes and rotors thanks to this video! Everything was straightforward. I did opt to use the Toyota pink grease (lithium soap base glycol grease) on the caliper slide pins, as that's what is called for in the service manual. I've heard stories of people having bad experiences w/ their calipers binding up using the wrong grease on those slide pins.

Great video, so detailed! Im planning to do this tomorrow, just finished gathering all the parts. for the rears do both rear wheels need to be off the ground, I know probably ideal but could I do one rear wheel at a time and still be able to spin the rotor to align for parking brake adjustment?

@joeythedime1838 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for finishing up the job. Is the improvement noticeable? Also, please let us know if these pads create more or less brake dust compared to the OEM.

@T4Rgarage Жыл бұрын

Thanks, will do. So far the improvement is noticeable, but I’ll report back once they break in. I’ve read they create less dust but we’ll see about that as well

Thanks man!... HOw can I Adjust the parking brake? Mine seems to not hold the weight when on a hard angle.

@T4Rgarage 6 ай бұрын

No worries! Adjust it as shown in the video by turning the wheel with a flathead screwdriver. If you loosened it you need to tighten it back up. Tighten it until you cannot move the drum then back out a bit

@haydenm315 10 ай бұрын

You missed something when taking the rotor off. Mine was seized on the axle. Spray around the opening with penetrant. Then thread some small bolts through those threaded holes on the rotor evenly until it breaks it free.

@T4Rgarage 10 ай бұрын

I was trying to create these videos as a 3 part series. I mentioned it in video 1 where I did the front brakes but you're right I probably should have mentioned it again in this video for those that are only doing rear brakes. Cheers

@haydenm315 10 ай бұрын

@@T4Rgarage Also not sure if you have another video on flushing fluid. I was surprised to discover that the rear's flush out easily via a procedure which uses an onboard pump. Guessing it's part of the abs or traction control system, serving another purpose to push out old fluid. Not sure if the fronts can flush the same.

When do you recommend replacing the rear and front rotors with after market? I have 40K (on my 2020 TRD OFFOR 4runner) and the dealership already recommend to replaced my rear brakes.

@dougfunk01 2 ай бұрын

That sounds right. The rears wear down about twice as fast as the fronts in these 4runners

@matthewbarton3611 Жыл бұрын

Great video. For the parking brake assembly, did you do this job with the parking brake engaged or no? I just want to make sure I don’t mess up the parking brake assembly when putting the rotors back on.

@T4Rgarage Жыл бұрын

You’ll need to have the parking brake disengaged throughout the job. You will not be able to remove the rotor if the parking brake is on. Make sure to block the front tires. Hope that helps, thanks
