The dealer wanted to chrage me 1,000 dollars for doing all 4 brakes. And i was going to go that route because of the electric parking brake but after seeing this video i went to rockauto and spent only 400 on high quality brakes and rotors. Thank you
Man, thank you so much. You save my booty. Some videos don’t show you how to retract the break system and you did it like nothing. I done the job just for you. Thank you so much.🫡
Toyota has a sequence you can do inside the car to put it in brake service mode just look it up before you do the service and you can skip the last step Edit: you don’t need scanner
+1 on this comment. The sequence is super simple to perform, you can check out a couple of youtube vids and save yourself a good chunk of time and avoid possibly tweaking the servo calibration. Great vid though
Great video however, I would recommend trying doing the disengaging the parking brake using the auto method first then conducting the manual practice if there was a problem. Excellent teaching video and interesting how the rear parking brakes work
You can disengaged the electronic by follow the sequences, turn on/off ignition twice then start the car, press on brake and push the left button 3 times down and then 3 times up and let go the brake then pull the button up until you see the park brake light on the dash flashing that you can use the ply to push the piston in without taking out the electronic motor.
Thanks for the video. My girlfriend is asking me to her daughters 2021 corolla LE. I've done brakes on my 2009 honda CRV but never one with EPB. I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 now and understand there is a step on the rears to do for the EPB. Just wondering, you don't mention torque specs. Isn't that kinda important for those of us who dont do this everday and have a feel for tightening the bolts? It seems kinda important safety wise.
Hey dan! I did what you showed in the video only I put my 2019 corolla in rear brake service mode first. Now when I try to re-activate the electronic parking brake it says 'parking brake unavailable' into 'parking brake malfunction'. Do you know the solution to this?
@@danthebrakeman damn I wish I watched your video first your way is the way it’s a lot to explain but I fixed it but still have to take it to the dealership
@@danthebrakeman both. I put it in service mode with the button inside. Got a yellow light on the dash for rear brake service mode. But the piston wouldn't retract with a clamp so I did the manual method at that point. Took off the epb, manually unwound the piston, clamped the piston. Reinstalled it and got the error
You can put Toyota's into brake Service Mode. Lots of videos on how to do it. Works very well and no messing with Electronic Parking Brake on caliper. No scan tool tequired.
Yes, there is a procedure to put it into service mode. I've only done it once but it did not retract the piston enough to allow for new pad installation. That being said, Dan's method eliminates that problem altogether. Well done @danthebrakeman , you have another subscriber!
To prevent malfunctions with Electric Parking brake, when you disconnect the EPB with the brake caliper, use non metal grease between the 2 when you re install it again. #1 reason why EPB fail is because theres no lubrication and over the years it will start to fail. Clean off old grease and apply new grease everytime you change rear brakes.
My hex bolts on the actuator won't budge at all. I think I have the right size but my hex bit just keeps spinning on the head of the bolt without grabbing it. What am I doing wrong? Btw this is my first time doing this and I don't want to end up stripping the bolt. Would a long arm hex key give me enough torque to remove it without the impact?
Hey I have a question. My right rear caliper makes a clicking noise when I step on my breaks. I had ordered a caliper. Do you think it’s a caliper issue?
You dont need to unplug the EPB!! Put the car in accessorie mode, hold down on the parking brake button until the dash says that the automatic EPB is off. Then turn off the car. To turn it back on repeat the process but hold up on the parking brake button until it says the automatic EPB is on.
I wish I would have watched this video before I changed my breaks. I started the car and accidentally pushed the caliper all the way out, and now My parking break will not work after I changed my breaks. It says parking break unavailable.
You may be able to dis assemble everything, retract the parking manually , as shown in the video, assemble everything back, unhook the battery, and reset it.

Thank you
Good stuff man 👊💪
thanks for the info, was very helpful. Break Pads and Rotors cost $222. I used the screwdriver to turn the electric parking break. 👍
You’re the best! This is the only video you need. Thank you pro
Glad it helped
Very helpful, thanks!!
That’s why I been lacking on working on my rear brakes for this specific reason.
No problem 👍
Great video. Easy to follow and saved my butt in a pinch. Thanks Dan.

You are correct. However, we've had too many issues with the EPBs also getting stuck in service mode, so we just do them manually now.

@@danthebrakemanI’m having this exact problem..how do I now get it out of service mode? 2021 Corolla.
Great video Very thorough Super entertaining easy peasy Lemon squeezey. As a Mechanic Myself Very nice Work on the Video 19:54
Glad it was helpful!

Good luck!
You don't need a scanner for rear brake service mode on a Toyota. It's very simple for DIY guys.
Hi Dan! Just wondering if what kind of lubrication did you use? I think I'd misheard when you said it. Thanks.
Hey hey the lube used for the slide pins is called sil-glyde here's a link for the one we get amzn.to/3SALiAB
@@danthebrakeman thanks.
This video helped me a great deal. It saved my day!
Glad it helped!

Same thing happened to me idk wtf to do
Did you do the manual method or you put it in service mode in the with button in the vehicle?

@@Tropicalan Then you didn't do it properly
@@trainstractorscarsandtruck7362 apparently
@Tropicalan It didn't work first try for me either. But when it does it makes it really easy
Did everything work out good after completing the breaks?
Yep!
To prevent malfunctions with Electric Parking brake, when you disconnect the EPB with the brake caliper, use non metal grease between the 2 when you re install it again. #1 reason why EPB fail is because theres no lubrication and over the years it will start to fail.

Nice work. I have a Kia with electronic parking break. So thank you for that heads up.
No problem 👍

As a few have commented you can always try the on board reset and see if it works if it doesn't I would soak it down with some penetrative oil
Toyota's can be put in brake service mode. It's of videos on how to do it. Very easy.
Hey I have a question. My right rear caliper makes a clicking noise when I step on my breaks. I had ordered a caliper. Do you think it’s a caliper issue?
It's hard to say could be something loose

Hey so I pushed my piston out like a dumb butt but anyway. Do you have any suggestions on what to do when I do push it out ?
Just did this. Did you figure it out?
You may be able to get the piston back in by spinning the parking brake screw all the way back into factory position.
Awesome video
2020 Toyota RAV4 you can set them in service mode to do brake job.
Do you push the brake pedal to return the piston to his position after did this procedure
Pump up the brake pedal then engage the parking brake.
Thanks for the video.
No problem!
Dan what happens if piston comes out?
You can try to work it back in but you may need a new caliper
Does it apply for front brake pads also?
Negative
Take The reservoir cap off first before you get started. This guy let's you know halfway into the video 15:16 😂
Thanks for watching the video be sure to hit the subscribe button ill be sure to mention it first thing in the next video and give you a shout out!
Is it grease or what in the can
Sil-Glyde for the slide pins
most mechanics tell me to change discs as well . Wonder why you chose not to .
I wish I would have watched this video before I changed my breaks. I started the car and accidentally pushed the caliper all the way out, and now My parking break will not work after I changed my breaks. It says parking break unavailable.

@@danthebrakeman Thank you very much sir. May God bless you.
I wish I would of seen this video before 😭
Nascar speed Boom 5:54
I did everything just like the video and still can't get my caliber off
Don't know why they make cars like this in attempt to force people go dealer.

No different than a regular brake job. Put brakes in brake service mode first. Lots of videos on how to do it, and it's easy. No scan tool required.
