Nice to see someone using oem parts and lubing all critical areas correctly and using anti-seize !!! As silly as that sounds its important that people are shown this -Corollas last a long time which means you'll be doing brakes 2 or 3 times possibly. Lubing everything makes future jobs that much easier. Thx for posting...
Hey man, thanks for a no frills silly video. Also kudos for no background music. Very clear instructions and will be doing as you have shown. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great video. I ran into some rust issues with the bolts, and the rotors were so bad they took a lot of work to get out. Wouldn't have even tried without your video though. Saved some cash, learned how to do something, and feel pretty good about it. Thanks for posting. Well done.
Thank you for all the videos! I am new to the DIY stuff with cars but I am trying to refurb my 98'... And this summer I will hopefully buy an old ae86 and restore it... ALL of your videos are a huge help!
Great video! I've watched a few of these replacing brake videos and yours is easy to understand and just makes sense. Nice job. I'll be checking out your other videos.
Great Video NutzAboutBoltz! One thing I would point out is that if you have the types of shims that have the rubber inside, there isn't really a need to grease inside, but you should grease the outside, to prevent noise/wear from the piston to shim and caliper to shim contact points. Again good Job and very informative and well done video!
Tracy Mitchell haven't seen rubber shims before... All brake shims are made of metal type material, and needs to be lubed inside and out so that the shims will hold tight and not fall off or loosen. Unless we are missing something here?
I (almost) always replace rotors with new rotors when replacing pads. If you can afford it do it. If rotors are really worn it's a must unless you want your new pads worn out really fast. Rotors are pretty cheap not a days so don't bother having them resurfaced it's not worth it resurfaced rotors are thinner and have the potential to warp.
Hi.Good instructional vid, nice step by step walkthrough.One query though, when you push the piston back prior to reassembly do you take the lid off of the brake fluid reservoir to stop the back pressure rupturing any weak brake lines?Keep up the good work.
Thanks to your video i was able to change my brake pads exactly today. Thank you for this video. However after replacing the brake pads I smells the brake smoke, hope that's normal haha
Hey mate, wondering if you'd ever do a rear brakes remove and install or is it pretty much the same thing? This is for a corolla 2005 (ZZE122R hatch). Cheers for this video!
Great video! I have a screetching squeaky wheel sound when I drive slowly. The sound stops when I touch the brakes or when rolling backward. Brakes or wheel bearing? Car is an 99 Corolla.
Dude was making love to those rotors!! Geez...I have never in my life put lube on brake pads.. never had any issues with vibration... lol.. anyway... good video.. very instructional
THOMAS SAMUEL depends on the brand you buy. Got my regular rotors for $40 (for the set) and premium ceramic pads $35. Then bought the lube and tools for about $20-30.
I'm thinking of drilling and tapping grease fittings directly into the caliper right at the ends of the sliding pin housings. Since all of my front joints are greasable, it would be nice to be able to give each pin a few shots of grease every time I do a lube without having to remove my front wheels. Another reason for doing this is because I currently use ceramic brake pads which last a lot longer than semi-metallics. I may soon also go to carbon fiber pads, which are coming down in price and they last even longer than ceramics.... a LOT longer than the grease in the pins lasts. I would have a dedicated grease gun that has ceramic grease in it specifically for the brake pins. Dumb idea?
Wow! Thank you very much good sir! The lighting and explaining is phenomenal!! Just wondering, did you not lubricate the boot because it tends to not make noise? Is it bad to lubricate that? Cheers
I'm pretty sure they are all ABS. You're just not seeing the ABS sensor. And I either didn't catch it, or you forgot to bleed the brakes when your done per side. It's important to bleed the brakes at every brake change so the old fluid doesn't flow back up into the system.
looking at rotors: "its all rusty and nasty" Thats all the reason to change the rotors? Not. In most life of cars, you only need to change front rotor once unless it shows warping damage which can be felt by shaking, otherwise just clean, manually sand it over. to take out glaze, then put it back. If you've done brake pads many many times, it is so much nicer to put back the old horse rein
i attempted this today for the first time and got it done. i had trouble pushing the piston back in. i nearly broke a C clamp with the force i had to use. it shouldn't be like that should it? i might take it apart again to put some grease on the bolts too, also i didn't get shims. would you recommend genuine Toyota pads?
I would recommend checking if the piston is seized or not. did your brake pads have uneven wear? I would definitely get the piston check out since it can be a safety issue. We would recommend shims since it'll prevent brake noise. Toyota brand is fine or you can go with after market with shims.

Excellent help. No fluff, no silliness, just a clear explanation. Thanks.

+Tim Zado thanks man! good work on doing this yourself! now you know a little more about your vehicle than before, keep up the good work.
Thank you for all the videos! I am new to the DIY stuff with cars but I am trying to refurb my 98'... And this summer I will hopefully buy an old ae86 and restore it... ALL of your videos are a huge help!
Austin Blatner not a problem! thank you for watching!
Outstanding job and excellent step-by-step explanation.
+John Byrd thanks!
best video yet on u tube for this job ! my new corolla has far more rust than this car
Doing this on my friend's 2007 Corolla this weekend. Thank you very much for a very detailed step-by-step video.
Great video! I've watched a few of these replacing brake videos and yours is easy to understand and just makes sense. Nice job. I'll be checking out your other videos.
Dude thank you SO SO much. Two of your videos for Corolla maintenance have really been super helpful to me. You Sir are AWESOME!
ty :D
Just taking a moment to thank you for this man ;)

Did you use the 3M Silicone paste to lube? Thanks. Your video is very easy to follow.
Rotors looked pretty good, did you need to replace them?
I (almost) always replace rotors with new rotors when replacing pads. If you can afford it do it. If rotors are really worn it's a must unless you want your new pads worn out really fast. Rotors are pretty cheap not a days so don't bother having them resurfaced it's not worth it resurfaced rotors are thinner and have the potential to warp.

you don't have to, we never do and never gave us any problems.
There is no need to remove the brake reservoir lid. It is ventilated.
It's like watching Bob Ross lol 😂
Nice video,can u please give a link description for the ratchet u used in this video?
How do you bleed the brakes? My caliper closed up due to the wear of the old pads and now the new ones won't fit..?
watch any of our honda brake bleeding, its the same concept but different size wrench for the bleeder valves.
Thanks to your video i was able to change my brake pads exactly today. Thank you for this video. However after replacing the brake pads I smells the brake smoke, hope that's normal haha
Any one no how long the brake discs last on a 99 corolla 1.6 with A.B.S?
Thanks
I've never changed brake pads before. Do you suggest me have some help from someone experienced? Or can I try it?
The last part is what worries me.
if you follow the video, you will be fine. Just make sure to pump the brake pedal once everything is intact since the caliper piston is pushed back.
Hey mate, wondering if you'd ever do a rear brakes remove and install or is it pretty much the same thing? This is for a corolla 2005 (ZZE122R hatch). Cheers for this video!
we will try, but still working to find time lol, it's the same concept as the honda accords rear drums or rotors.
Did you do a video for that? I have rear rotors and pads for the corolla
CVonC
no but check the camry rear rotor video, same concept. Not sure if you need that cube or not, but if you do, then that's how you would use it.
Can a C clamp and an old pad be used to push the brake piston back in or do I have to get the tool?
You can use the C clamp and the old brake pad
Great video! I have a screetching squeaky wheel sound when I drive slowly. The sound stops when I touch the brakes or when rolling backward. Brakes or wheel bearing? Car is an 99 Corolla.
you should check your pads and rotors to see if its low.
WHen you switch from disassembly to reassembly shouldn't you change gloves so as to not get grease on rotors or pads?
Dude was making love to those rotors!! Geez...I have never in my life put lube on brake pads.. never had any issues with vibration... lol.. anyway... good video.. very instructional
Can I put grease on the pins
Good job. Around how much will cost for these new drums and pads work?
+THOMAS SAMUEL around 100$ for the rotors and pads

do u need to clean the sliding pins first and lube?
Yes you need to clean and lube the sliding pins
Do the rotors come in a set or did you buy 2
It should say it when you buy them. They usually come single though.
hi. bleeding is not required?
DMR (Desi Moto Racer) only if its dirty or you haven't changed it for a while.
What size rotor screws on a 2001 corolla? M8 or M6
+Pedro Pablo Leon I believe it's M8
EXCELLENT VIDEO GOOD JOB MAN!!!!!
Cant get those 18mm bolts out lol, where can i buy a cheap power tool.
HI,
where could you buy the special socket which can move 90 deg ?
Its called Torque to yield tool, amzn.to/2buu2Im you can use it to torque it to 90 degree.
Im not sure that much anti seize is necessary, can anyone confirm?
Wow! Thank you very much good sir! The lighting and explaining is phenomenal!! Just wondering, did you not lubricate the boot because it tends to not make noise? Is it bad to lubricate that?

you want to lube the sliding pins with silicone paste.

Good explanation and work habits
+Sean White lol thanks!
Great video. Thanks man!
My rotir don't want to come out like the middle is stick with the big nut that's inside don't let it come out I git a 2001 Corolla ?
great video this one is the best very clear quick and accurate! than you
Perfect, thank you.
How tf do I put duralast brakes on lol they don't fit!
Gotta make sure it’s for your vehicle…
Good video. He sounds like Toby from the office
Good Job , Thank you !
+karam khattab thank you!
It is helpful to clean the break dust, but not good to blow it into the air, as it is not healthy to inhale.
Yep, we suggest using face mask.
Thx so much
Thanks man.
thanks!!!
I mean new rotors.
2002 or 2008? wtf?
its from 98 to 08 year.
I don’t have any anti C’s but I got some anti D’s
Thanks man for showing.
+Navruzi Khurosoni no problem! :)
