It may be helpful to put some silicone paste on the bolts as they are moving parts. Also some antifreeze on the clips and the back where the piston comes in contact the back side of the pad. Anywhere metal meets metal should be lubed.
That certainly is a time saving and quick way to do it for sure..however I always take the caliper assembly completely off and secure it to the strut as I prefer to remove the 2 slider pins to check, clean, and lubricate.
Question. Do you have to purge the system by removing the brake line nut, pump the brake padel and open and close the port. It's that something that needs to be done after replacing the brake pads and rotors?
You only need to purge or "bleed" the brake system if you are disconnecting the bangobolt located on the calipers. Air doesn't get inside the system by simply replacing brake pads.
Your Corolla looks alot different than the 2006 Corolla here in Canada... and 4 bolt hub pattern vs 5 here. I'm also a fan of always replacing the rotor when doing pads - in the event the rotor is worn poorly, has a bad rim, etc etc. You didn't mention about transferring clips - I have watched a number of these and some have clips, others do not.. so am wondering why that is...
I had a problem the down bolt of the caliper went all the way out and it does not come in hence i cant fit the thicker new pads , any one who ran into this problem and solve it??
great vid, 1 question though. is it necessary to pump the breaks before you start driving? and if you need to pump the breaks , do you pump them when after you've replaced the breakpads on the left and right side or do you pump the breaks after you did 1 side and than pump again when youve finished the other side?
Never, leave your brakes caliper hanging like that, always use a caliper hook, you're putting strain on the brake hose. And, don't forget to grease the ears of the brakes and always clean the mount bracket and everything must be torque at the factory spec.
Old pads have 2 shims per pad total inner & outer 4 shims per side. 8 per vehicle. New pads come with 1 shim per pad. Should you reuse outside shiny stainless shims over new pads or not?
Brakes are the most common replacement every car owner have to do most often, because you cannot simply ignore it no one knows when it will leave you helpless on the round. manyautosltd.com is my car doctor they know what to do with my car and when
Damn my luck, everytime I Google something to check out real quick, I randomly pick a video, I get the metric version, I gotta pay more attention to what I pick.

You neglected to mention that you need to pump the brake to bring the piston back out before driving.
Your voice is so soothing.
Great video...learnt a few things. Will try replace mine tomorrow!
Glad it helped
Where did you get those jack stands?

antifreeze???
I think he meant antiseize

I never heard a C-clamp called a G-clamp. But, you know, I can see why. Thank you for the vid.
3:11 - noticed that old brakes pad show sign of wearing evenly. The caliper slider pins might not enough lubricate.
What else can you use to reset the caliper?
you don't torque the nuts / bolts / sockets?
Awesome, thanks a lot for the information. Cheers

Does it make a difference if you dont cover the front license plate with a white rag??
It's better if you use a black rag. I do

These cars have more than one manufacturer of calipers. Some use them, some don't. Simple.

Great video.. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

replace the pads on both sides then pump about 10 times because if u don't u won't have brakes to start off with
heya, thanks for the info, it worked out fine.
@@ethanstewart3386 TY!
Nice video very helpful
Great video bro
Appreciate it!
Nice video Very Helpful 👍

Do you know torque specs?
What are you talking about, he didnt leave the caliper hanging from the brake line. It was just rotated a bit
Thanks Champion
40mm socket!?

Great video
You need to bleed the line so no air in lines
Only if you remove the brake line

I'm glad you stumbled upon this video :)
The brake pad wear indicator was not what you pointed to.
Thnx!

whats the difference between sumitomo akebono and lucas braking systems?
Now you save yourself $300, mate.
What tools did I need

wow. nice video.
thank you
thanks sir
Excellent
always turn your rotors
What do you mean?

remove this video please, you are not teaching the required steps in doing a brake job correctly
I agree!
expert autodetail, I agree remove it!
I’d rather watch this video and learn myself than send my car to a lying, uneducated, overpriced mechanic like yourself.
@@theprince3020 i am not a mechanic, a diy person, buy toyota brand pads only .
Hi I was just wondering if you maybe had another reference to learn whats required/why? Thanks!
