You're an awesome mechanic and fantastic teacher. Thank you for making this very hepful video!

the attention to detail, explanations, and helpful hints are awesome! really appreciate this guy! gonna order parts today

I wish my teachers in school would have been like you- you are detailed, make it interesting (and entertaining!), and take pride in your work and you care about others. You are a Blessing🙂

Love it when I see you working on PreRunner like mine.

I don’t think it really matters but you installed the spring upside down from the way it came to you.

Thank you so much for the great videos. I love watching your channel.

You always do great work. Thanks for sharing your superior knowledge 😊

Great detailed video once again.I recently filed back/scraped with a flat screwdriver the discs/rotors on either side of the edge/lip and on the circumference...it is now flush lol,plus i scraped out all the brake dust that piled up on the caliper,wire brushed it too properly.....there was a lot there! Glad i did it as it just flaked out as i do my own servicing but not like this in 12 yrs,so worth doing.

I always do my own brake job. You do beautiful work.

Thank you for posting this video. You are a true professional and take pride in your work. I have just subscribed.

Excellent lighting, much appreciated. Thank you for posting!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge my friend. It’s been a great tutorial. God bless you and your family and business.

I found on Amazon a set of brake pads for the front of my 2002 Tacoma. They were returned new but being sold as used and I got them for less then 9.00 dollars. I put them on my old brake rotors and they work great. I’m gonna run them this summer and then replace everything this fall.

Great video and job, very well explained.

Very good video. Perfect amount of information.

Honest Mechanic God Bless You and Godspeed!

Great job again like always

Great detailed video!

Always amazing! Thank you!

Thanks for posting and sharing. Correction @ 16:40 caliper bolts torque for most Toyota trucks is 90 ft.lbs (123 N.m)

Akebono ceramic brake pads are toyota OEM. been using it 2 decades now. excellent pads.

Thanks Peter ,enjoyed the video,

I used to put anti-seize on wheel studs too until 2 nuts loosed up while driving. Since then I only use WD-40 and haven't had any more problems and it still keeps studs from rusting.

Great video as usual. Is it the same procedure for Lexus GX 460?? If. Not i hope you can show that sometime.

Good video as usual. .

I use anti seize on my lug nuts and I've never had a problem at all. Never had any issue removing a nut either. Threads are always good.

Another great video sir! Was wondering what your thoughts are on this new fuel pump recall on 2018/19 Toyota Lexus models.

This hardware brake job was so good that you should have cycled the brake fluid also. That makes it a complete brake job. Use your brake fluid life indicator and see if the percentage of water was too high.

Thanks very much for such a detailed and careful description of the procedure. From looking at several other videos of Tacoma brake jobs, it is apparent that there are other styles of these front disk brakes on first-generation Tacomas, and it appears that the procedures for the brake jobs are very different. I wonder how many different styles there are and if there is an easy way to determine which procedure to use. Also, you said that someone had advised the owner to have the brake job done right away. You didn't find a problem, so apparently this work was not necessary on this vehicle?

The anti-rattle spring is installed as the Toyota manual says. It was upside down in the begginning. I don't really know if it really matters, though, but in the manual we can see the curved part in the bottom.

Thank you for the video 👌

Nice job, good to see guys who turn rotors. A little unusual to see more wear on the outer pad, on both sides. I wonder if that is common on the Tacoma, maybe the inner pad binds on those slide pins....

I’ use akebono brake pads & shoes 👠 I’ve never had a problem there quiet low brake dust a wear well

Thank you for your great videos... I have a quick question. Do you recommend replacing the rear brakes? If so, how often. My truck is 2003 Tacoma. It shakes downhill only, plenty of pad and rotor at 22mm. Brake feel low but they are not. Anyway any help will be appropriated

my milwaukee light is the rover (2 AA batteries) and it has magnets on it I stuck it to the hood of my brothers car to help him change his battery works great just put it where you need it and small and bright

I'm learning a lot from your channel. But I noticed the last plate you put back on upside down. Does that really matter?

One small issue... you placed the pad spring upside down when reinstalling it. It doesn't look as though it matters, but you are such a detailed oriented person, I thought you might like to know. Maybe you caught that later and fixed it.

You installed the spring clip in the opposite orientation as it was when removed. I believe I may have done the same but I wasn't smart enough to take photos.... I wonder if it makes any difference

A Question for anyone: 2004 Toyota Rav4, 135K miles, 2.4 l engine. Problem: large oil leak on front (alternator side) of the engine. Thought it was the crankshaft main seal - Eric O. and his two guys eventually found the that plastic bumps on the engine side of the harmonic balancer had worn through the timing cover creating a small hole. Has anyone heard of anything like this before? (SMA hadn't) How long/difficult is it to change a timing cover on a 2.4l? Seven hours or so? Thanks.

Brake caliper mounting bolts: 90 ft-lbs for the 95-04 Toyota Tacoma (Prerunner/4x4)

I am a big believer in putting anti-seize on wheel lugs

Hi wanted to see if you have a shop? If so where?

I have a Toyota Tacoma 2010 manual and it won’t go forwards or backwards as of this morning but it turns on. Any help is appreciated

HI you have great video , , i hope you can can have more video , i can see thank you sir

what about the shims?

What do you call the tool you used at 12:40?

Fantastic video...was wondering if it's the same process with 4x4?

This guy makes me want to buy a Toyota just so I can have him service it.

I thought the caliper slider pins get silicone grease too. Why not?

Great video! Thank you for the step by step

Looks to me like you reversed the pad spring when you put it back together.

I looked at all the comments and it appears nobody noticed or cared to comment that Peter installed the anti-rattle spring UP-SIDE-DOWN

good video just wondering does it matter which way you reinstall the clip you installed it different from when you removed it

Mounting bolts torque 70 Nm? (just double checking). Thanks.

When you measure the rotors with a caliper you were using the wrong type, you need the proper one for doing breaks and you must check the bottom the middle and the top of the same rotor, then you go with the smallest number

Another great video! 2 Questions - 1. Why did the customer bring them in if the pads and rotors were all in decent shape? 2. How do you know when to flush or replace the brake fluid?

-804- how do this Taco get SO rusty crusty ?? [15-Dec-2o23]

You reinstalled anti-rattle spring upside down. I would suggest loosening brake bleed valve on the caliper to prevent dirty brake fluid from being pushed back into brake lines.

watch it with the ceramic pads. They tend to eat at the rotors. I would suggest using plain carbon pads.

Bolt sizes

For the grease on the lug nuts, you should probably do less torque when tightening. The lube will create less resistance when tightening, which means more turns for the same torque amount. The end result is the bolt stretches further, and the force on the wheel is greater (think of it as a very rigid spring). The bolt itself is also more likely to break. Most of these things are designed with a factor of safety so you may be able to get away with it, but hard to say what is the equivalent torque after adding grease should be.

U r the 🐐 🫶 ✨ 💖
