  • How to change brake pads and rotors for Corolla 2009-2013. But it should work for almost all Corolla models. It also should be the same with other Toyota models such as Camry, Avalon, Yaris, Matrix...

    what are those small screws you used to release the rotor from hub? i can't find those online

      it's 7.7mm in diameter when I use my caliper to measure it. I believe it's 5/16 of an inch screw. Either that or 19/64. Thread pitch count is 20.

    Pretty good, the only missing step I've seen others do is to spray the rotor down with brake cleaner to remove the anti rust coating they ship them with.

      Thanks for mentioning this, i was wondering why they sprayed it down.

      Some brake manufacturers specify not to use brake cleaner . They usually say to just wash the rotor off with dish soap and rinse thoroughly.

    Don't forget to grease the springs if there sticking your brakes will drag and heat up fast

      Its front wheel drive, you can just turn it when the car is suspended.

    Now that you have your solar canopy, are you thinking about getting a plug in car?

    • @vuaeco

      I am. But I'm working on my plug in bike right now! Does that count? :) Well, electric car is still at its infantry and there is a lot (and that means a whole lot) room for improvement. The two mainstream electric cars coming out this or next year (Bolts and Tesla 3) are still the first gen. And we all know first gen will soon be obsolete. The Nissan Leaf first gen that does 70 miles is already obsolete. And soon will be the 105-mile Leaf. Remember the iPhone 3G? Electric cars are no more just a mode of transportation. Its more like an electronic toy and it will change fast. Never before in the history of the world do we have to line up and make a deposit for a car that does not come out until 2 years later. And we even don't have the infrastructures ready yet (charging stations...etc). Sure the future is sustainable as we don't have unlimited resources but I'll wait until it's ready.

    What was the size of the hardware you screwed in to push the rotor off?

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a metal screw. I'm not sure about the size but I just got my caliper and the screw diameter is 7.68mm (or about 0.3 inch). You can google that and probably can find the size. The screws I used was hex screws so that's why I had to use a hex wrench to turn them. Hope that helps.

      @@immalooser92 Yes. Cause your compressing the piston so your pushing fluid back to the reservoir. You want to make sure double check that next time. Brake fluid is something you want to clean up right away.

      @@bo3oroot637 if you open master cylinder reservoir (just keep it covered so nothing gets inside) before, then when you push the pistons back, the pressure of forcing brake fluid back into the reservoir won't cause an issue. read that on another site
