This is the best video I've ever seen! Thanks for posting the pounds to which a screw is tightened because they always tighten it with a gun until the bolts break.
My brakes are done Thank You for your video because the dealership parts department didn’t know nothing. Told me to go get a repair book from the library or Auto Zone. Thank you again.
You just fixed my anxiety in performing a brake job in the rear end. My first attempt before this video was catastrophic. I spent more with getting my car towed to the dealer and paid almost $600 for everything. Thank you. HYBRID is a little special when it comes to brake maintenance.
Please pay special attention to the end of the video to properly re-engage the parking brake without faults. Feel free to ask any questions that I can clear up.
This is by far the clearest and simplest tutorial I've seen. I noticed you didn't apply brake grease anywhere which is super emphasised on other videos, any thoughts on this?
Thank you for such a great and descriptive video. It helped me tremendously and saved me a lot of money. Do you know how to bleed the brakes to this particular car/model? Mine are spongy after doing the brake pads replacement. Thanks again for your video.
I’ve seen several how to’s here on yt regarding installing pads for this car and this is the first I’ve seen putting the car into service mode. I was getting ready to install the tomorrow and I am so glad I watched your video. Also, do you not need to use brake lube on the pads?
Question the mechanic raised the car to do the back brakes and the car started making a whistling warning sound what caused that and how to stop it while rear brakes getting done. Ty
No need for the procedure to do the front brakes. The front brakes are like other cars and can be done with retracting the piston by hand without any special procedures.
Hi. How do I measure the disc and what are the spects, also I though friction would cause some waving on surface and should get resurface when replacing pads? Good video 👍🏼
Hello I have a video on how I measure the rotors. The car in the video is a BMW but the process and tool used are the same. The rotors can get warped as you use the brake pads, But if you are not experiencing vibration while braking replacing the brake pads alone will be okay. It is not always necessary to resurface the rotors at every brake pad replacement. In this video th-cam.com/video/Y0sLm-FE8wY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t2X4eSolx8ixCyxO at time stamp 1:55 - 2:30 I go over the tool used and how to measure the rotors This is the paid affiliate link to the tool I used. amzn.to/3x9I3Iw As for the specs for the rear rotors there are two specs depending if you have electronic parking brake or don't have electronic parking brake. With electronic parking brake minimum specification will be 10.5 mm (0.414 in.) W/o electronic parking brake minimum specification will be 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) If you want to check if the rotor is warped, You will need to measure the rotor at 8 different spots on the rotor. divide it up like a pie with a marker and keep turning the rotor until you have 8 measurements. the difference between the highest and lowest can not be more than 0.15 mm (0.00591 in.) Let me know if you have any other questions.
Just so you know, the AK on the pad stands for Akebono. You can get these directly from Akebono with the clips and shims included, or you can get them from a parts store if you find a deal. Also, you can just loosen the bottom caliper bolt and remove the top, and then it'll lean back enough to remove the pads, like a hinge.
@@friendlymechanic9778 dealerships mark up the pads by like $20-$30, or in some cases they just charge extra for the clips/shims that normallycome with the pads. I like and buy OEM parts but these car makers get their parts from public parts manufacturers. No need to pay a middleman(dealership) when you can go to the same company that they buy from and buy the part yourself. Just research what company makes the part you need and then go to that company and buy it at cost.
I have not tried it on that car specifically but I have done it on a rav4 as well and it worked the same way. So I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work on Camry hybrid.
That’s brake clean/parts clean spray. You can find it online or at an auto parts store. You don’t need to use this on new rotors to install them. I just use it to clean off loose brake pad dust or if i get some brake dust on the rotors I’ll spray it down to get it off.
I did the process to retract the parking brakes. Did the brakes and rotors as normal. Tried to reset parking brake. Now it says parking brake fault. Take to dealer. Any way to reset without a computer?
Hmmm I haven’t had the issue come up on my end. I would try the process again and see if the fault goes away. But I would guess even if the issue is resolved it may need to be reset with a scan tool.
I did not have this issue. When taking the calipers out of service mode the procedure should be followed to the very end before depressing the brake pedal.
caliper does not go in that easy on 21 xse car... you have to take the black box off the back and turn a small tool inside the hole on the BACK SIDE of the caliper. turn the tool and push caliper in at the same time.
The rotors did not measure under spec so they could still be used. As for the brake pad paste, that was missed and I would advise that everyone else apply brake pad paste.
My 2020 camry doesn't work like this. My car you can skip the first step of this. I just have to turn on car(don't start) push the break in pull up on parking break 3 times, push down on the parking break 3 times, on the third time down hold it for about 10 seconds. You can hear the motor disengage. Takes about 15 seconds.
You never say let go of the brake after disengaging the emergency brake than turning it back on. My car starts if I don't let go of the brake. You than say wait 3 seconds than hit the brake. Smh
If you skip that step you won’t be able to retract the piston back into the caliper and installing the new brake pads won’t be possible. This step can not be skipped.

@@friendlymechanic9778most likely several hundreds
Great instructional video; it’s more functional & visually better than the one produced by The Car Care Nut! Well done. Tku

Best explanation ever,5 star video,thanks a lot,took me an hour for everything and saved me 300$
This is by far the clearest and simplest tutorial I've seen. I noticed you didn't apply brake grease anywhere which is super emphasised on other videos, any thoughts on this?
Yeah someone else brought that up. I made a mistake and didn’t put any one. Please apply brake grease to your brake pads.
Thanks man. Your video makes my brakes replacement whole a lot easier!! 🤝
Happy to help! Feel free to ask any other questions if you need something cleared up.
Great video man ! Ppl Very important to put it in service mode to retract the piston or you could mess up the electronic parking brake.
Thank you 👍🏼
@@friendlymechanic9778question did you put your foot on tha brake when you put it service mode ?
My brakes are done. Thanks for the video. It really helped out!
That’s awesome! Glad I could help! 👊🏼
Amazing video! Was almost like ASMR.. it was so relaxing to watch lol
You know you’re not the first person to tell me that it’s relaxing and almost like ASMR.

When I get around to doing the brake fluid replacement I’ll post a video on it.
Thanks for your video.Very informative quick question. I have a 22 hybrid . Is it the same part number for the brake pads? Tha
Great video! Very detailed! Is it the same procedure for replacing Hybrid Camry brakes? Or is there something else we need to perform for Hybrids?

Use brake grease on the pads.
Anti sieze works better then brake grease. Should give it a try

Is this procedure, is it done for the front brakes as well

These new camrys require a cheat code to put it in service mode 😂
The 2 pads have two paintedwhite rectangles and the other 2 pads only have one white painted rectangles.. does it matter which one is on which pad??
Just so you know, the AK on the pad stands for Akebono. You can get these directly from Akebono with the clips and shims included, or you can get them from a parts store if you find a deal.

ACT1879 is the OE equivalent I don’t see the same shims
@@anorton4821 the shims come in the box with the pads.
@@donniev8181I just got the Act1879s and they do not include the shims.
How do you flush brake fluid?
Hi bro, Is this turn the car to service mode Electonic Parking Brake work for 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid LE, too ?
I have not tried it on that car specifically but I have done it on a rav4 as well and it worked the same way. So I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work on Camry hybrid.
Assalamualaikum Sir tnq so much sir like your video tanks
Thank You🎉
great video thank you
Your welcome!
After how many miles on this vehicle were the brake pads replaced?
41,170 miles for the rear and the front pads were replaced shortly after about another 500 miles or so.
@@friendlymechanic9778glad I saw this comment. I was just getting ready to do mine at 22k.... I guess I have some more time to figure it out.
THANK YOU !!! it helped me a lot, excellent demonstration 10/10
👍🏼
I'm surprised you didn't add any Greece to wear. The pad is sliding back and forth
Excellent Video, thanks
No problem 👍🏼
7:04 - what product did you spray on the rotor? And do you need to spray this on a new rotor if installing a new rotor?
Thank you 🙏
That’s brake clean/parts clean spray. You can find it online or at an auto parts store.
You don’t need to use this on new rotors to install them. I just use it to clean off loose brake pad dust or if i get some brake dust on the rotors I’ll spray it down to get it off.
Very helpful. Thank you
Your welcome!! 👍🏼
Thank you for nice presentation 😊
Your welcome!
@@friendlymechanic9778what brand are those brake pads ? That dark glossy finish looks pretty sick !
I bought these from the dealer. But I don’t know what brand they are.
I notice you didn’t use any brake grease on any of the contact points, is that not required on this particular car?
Brake paste should be applied to the contact points for this car.
I was about to say the same! It was however a helpful video, my first dealing with an electronic E brake.
Yeah I usually apply the paste to the contact points pull out the pins and grease those as well.
If i work on the front one, i have to do the service mode too?
No, service mode is only needed for the rear.
So I did the thing but now it says low brake power so what did I do wrong or how do I get rid of the low brake power
Did you put it in service mode?
How do you take it out of service mode…
The process is found towards the end of the video.
Question do I have to put on on service mode to change the front brake pads as well?
No, only rears have parking brake module
No, only the rear brake pads require service mode.
did everything correct and when i pump yhe pedal it says lower braking power see owners manual
Nice !
Hello
Replacing my brake rotor.
Please provide torque specs for the front and rear caliper bracket and caliper pin bolts.
Thanks
Do you have video for rotors
Sorry I don't have a video on the rotors. When they are due ill make a follow up video with rotors
Thanks
👍🏼
Sorry I have a 2018 you can’t push the rear piston in you have to turn the piston to go back in with the special tool.
Ahh okay do you know which tool you need or do you need a link to a tool.
@@friendlymechanic9778I would love a link please
Is this work for the TRD??
I have not tried this on a TRD version but I would safely assume it is the same.
What size is the socket for the lug nuts

Hmmm I haven’t had the issue come up on my end. I would try the process again and see if the fault goes away. But I would guess even if the issue is resolved it may need to be reset with a scan tool.
@@friendlymechanic9778 I’ve tried everything more than once. I dropped it off at the dealer.

Why u didn't get new rotors or turn your rotors? No greese for noise. Everything else was okay ✅
The rotors did not measure under spec so they could still be used. As for the brake pad paste, that was missed and I would advise that everyone else apply brake pad paste.
If you change your pads early or right on time you shouldn't have to replace rotors for a very long time
I will add. The clips are different. Two different style of clips.
IT MATTERS WHICH WAY THE GO !!!!!
My 2020 camry doesn't work like this. My car you can skip the first step of this. I just have to turn on car(don't start) push the break in pull up on parking break 3 times, push down on the parking break 3 times, on the third time down hold it for about 10 seconds. You can hear the motor disengage. Takes about 15 seconds.
U don’t grease the pins
I was also wondering about this
You never say let go of the brake after disengaging the emergency brake than turning it back on. My car starts if I don't let go of the brake. You than say wait 3 seconds than hit the brake. Smh
pad slaps are for hacks. do the job right, brakes are too important to be cheap and not put new rotors on.
Too bad you don't show where to put. The Jack stands and we're the lifting points off. Show lifting pointand where to place a Jackson.
Why don't you make your own video then?
Its the same on most cars! When you look down the edge of the car you will see the strong points!
It’s sad you don’t know where to jack up any vehicle from 😂🤡
Ain’t no way you are asking this?
We all have to learn something for the first time for everything, it's a valid question.
What if you skip the initial parking brake step at the beginning?
If you skip that step you won’t be able to retract the piston back into the caliper and installing the new brake pads won’t be possible. This step can not be skipped.
