Just bought a 1999 Toyota Camry as my first car and I need to replace the breaks and rotors. Thanks to this video I have a better understanding of what I need to do
Home mechanic tip. Use synthetic brake grease. A small tube costs maybe four to five dollars and it will last you a long time. There are several brands. i imagine all are good. A secondary use is as a thread lube and anti sieze but be sparing. I have even used it to lubricate squeaky door hinges inside the house.
excellent video .... good camera work, well lit ... easy to understand, well spoken with reasons why to do it and why not to do it.... put together in a logical order ..... I wish all auto repair videos were of this quality . thanks
He should have been more thorough. One person already mentioned the pumping of the brakes. Did not clean off the exposed area of piston before compression, One of the caliper guide pins was actually missing a rubber grommet near the end of the pin (you could clearly see the notch that it was to go in). It would have been better to use a special brake spreader tool or a C-clamp and brake pad to compress the piston as this is much less likely to damage the piston or the the boot than channel lock type pliers. He forgot to mention that only silicone based brake grease should be used on the pins, because other types can damage rubber parts. same with the plate pad plate that sits against the piston.
I have a 2000 Toyota Camry LE and I've noticed that my rear brakes are making noise at night sometimes. The noise isn't too loud and it's only there for like a minute or two and then it goes away.. Could it be time to replace the rear brakes? Should I just replace it anyway?

No use the old brake pad with a good size C-Clamp to push piston in brake calipers back in. Also crack brake master cylinder cap so pressure is released. Place a rag around the master cylinder as to not get brake fluid on other components near by. Recheck level after everting is installed.
A pair of slip joint pliers will most likely harder to get the piston back in the caliper plus you chance buggering up the piston with the jaw of the pliers.
This video left off an important preparatory step. The cap must be removed from the brake fluid reservoir to allow the fluid to rise when the first caliper piston is compressed. If the brake pedal is not depressed to seat the first set of pads after installation, excess fluid will need to be suctioned out of the reservoir before the next set is installed or the fluid will overflow, damaging any exposed paint in the process.
+whiteknightcat Yes, thank you for sharing those excellent tips, every mechanic is slightly different in the way they work. As long as you clean up spilled brake fluid right away it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Thanks for watching!
+Lodey It shouldn't overflow. Just be sure to check the level before you start to see if it will be a concern, but as long as you never topped it off in between brake jobs there should not be enough fluid in there to overflow. 1aauto.com
@@Renulph Here's an example - I just replaced the front pads on a friend's Nissan Frontier. They're very similar to the Toyotas. I removed the reservoir cap and noted the level. When I got to the point where I compressed the piston(s) on the first side, I had him watch the fluid level. It rose and I stopped compressing just as it was about to overflow. I then knew to suction out a sufficient amount of fluid so that when I compressed the next piston(s), the remaining fluid would also not overflow. If I hadn't done that, the fluid would have ended up pressurized in the system and would have made compressing the pistons very difficult. Opening the reservoir cap with the fluid under pressure might also have resulted in the fluid blowing out as the cap was removed.
You didn’t mention anything about the brake disc clips that hold the brake pads apart before you put on the caliper. I put them on anyway, but were they not needed? What do they do?
I just changed mine on a 99. I didnt see where you installed the 2 torsion springs on each side. The holes the springs go into are on the pads. Looks like the torsion springs just help spread apart the pads when pressure is not being applied.
I have a 1999 also. About to try and do my first rotor + brake change (upgrading to EBC Level 5 brake kit). What's this Torsion Spring I should be aware of?
Maybe they are not torsion but it's the "L" shaped springs that can come with the pads. They hold the pads away from the rotor when the brakes are not applied.
The rubber seal was missing from the end of the first caliper pin that was pulled out at 8:07. One pin has a seal, the other doesn't, and the one with the seal fits in only one of the two slide bores.
Hello why no shim on the non-piston side? Mine came with a shim on all brake pads so I took them off the non-piston brake pads according to your instructions. I hope I don't get to regret that.
Can you tell me what is the minimum rotor thickness to pass inspection in most states. I happen to be in Pennsylvania. And also what is the minimum brake pad thickness? Thank you David
What about the plastic ring that goes into the rotor hole to center it. Where do you get them? I'm doing g/f 2000 toyota camry ce. The last hack spot welded the rotor to the lug bolts.
Just changed the brake pads on my 96 Camry , did not replace my rotors. I have pumped the brake pedal several times but not getting any build up yet. If I have air in my line how long will it take to get it out?
+Stacy Barnes Depends how much air is in your brake line. Bleed them out and hopefully it wont take any longer than 20 minutes if you need to do it for all 4 wheels
1A Auto Parts finally got all the air and old brake fluid out. I did not expect to go thru 3 bottles of brake fluid . I had spongy brake pedal so I had changed out my master cylinder so I had to pump my brake pedal for 8 minutes until I built up enough pressure to get my pedal tight.

+brandon smothers Thanks for checking us out. If the rotors are rusted on we would recommend using some rust penetrant and using a rubber mallet or hammer to try and knock them free so you can get them replaced.
1. The easiest and safest method after taking off the caliper and bracket, put the tire back on with a couple spaced out lug nuts. Then, kick the wheel (or tire) a few times until it breaks loose. 2. If you are replacing the rotor, another option is to hit it on the "hat" between the lug studs with a ball peen hammer. (Or a small sledgehammer) This will distort the metal of the rotor hat, and break it away from the rust on the hub. Don't hit and damage any of the studs. Which makes 1 above safer.
@@BA-gn3qb The best way to rattle a rusted on tire is to hit it on the rubber with a swinging spare tire. If push came to shove, you could see if this technique could be applied to solve the problem.

Tnx for your professional works as usual,. You are the best ❤
When pressing the Piston back into the caliper, should I pop open my master cylinder, or is that not necessary
I've not seen the master cylinder opened in other brake videos from Chris Fix, etc., but the brakes are always pumped or brake fluid bled.
What about the springs that come with the new pads? There were none on the old when I took them off, are they necessary?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Is this the same procedure for the 2000 Camry V6 ?

Do you need to use a torque wrench ? What happen if you just use normal wrench and not a torque wrench?
+khoa nguyen You should torque things down correctly. Harbor Freight sells inexpensive torque wrenches that will do the job for you.

always compress the piston with the bleeder valve open otherwise you are forcing old fluid back to your master cylinder and it could destroy it.
