Toyota Tacoma Front Brake Pads and Rotors - Making it Easy, No Detail Missed!

This video I change the front brake pads and rotors with this 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4. There are other videos on KZfaq how to do this, but they leave out some critical items. I show you the details with leaving nothing at risk. Watch this video all the way through and the process should go smooth and easy the first time. This also covers many other years and models of Toyota’s.

If you dont have a specialized tool to compress caliper pistons, you can use the old pads and a c clamp to achieve the same thing, you just have switch around several times while compressing as the pistons pop out a bit on the other side from the one that is compressing.

Great video, The details on the pins, The correct direction of the pads, The correct order of the back plates the striped and the solid, That's exactly what I was looking for. Obviously there are tons of videos out there none of them explain the details correctly. Everyone knows there's only three screws and that's it, but what you explained was the most important part of it which most diy folks miss. Even some certified mechanics miss them. Thank you I appreciate it

My 2020 in Southern Ontario. 90k. Pins were so rusted they were a bitch to get out. And where the pads go, was so rusted, the outside ones weren't even moving back and forth. Had to file down everything. Spray, and covered in anti seize. Everything is moving well, and the truck is braking a million times better

@scott8998 Ай бұрын

Not sure if this has been commented or not. But as far as the 8MM bolt. you can just use a bolt from the skid plate.

@AlexLopez-vu8fn 11 ай бұрын

Good video but you forgot to pump the brake pedal so it adjust to the new brakes pads and also torque the bolts holding the calipers I think they are to 90 foot pounds thanks for the video

I may be wrong but I believe the brake line bolt is an 8 mm. Use that to take off rotor

@peterbadger3943 Жыл бұрын

Terrific camera work! Do the slide pins need to be lubricated? Cleaned with superfine steel wool? Similarly, do the edges of the brake pads need a thin layer of brake grease? Please excuse my ignorance as the only brake work I have done involved removable caliper pins that had to be greased with silicone based grease and then the caliper bracket had clips where the pads slide and that also needs a small amount of grease. I will look up the torque specs and leave them here. I would suggest that you commented on putting anti-seize on the wheel hub and I have done that making removal of the rotor easier next time

Anti seize on the wheel hib would be nice but no big deal.

Great video. Do I need to open up the brake fluid reservoir before I compress the pistons?

@SammyEddie 27 күн бұрын

Yes. Absolutely. And as you are squeezing the calipers open the fluid will rise so be careful not to let it overflow
