"Don't the the caliper bracket fall"...cracked me up. Your right, everyone does a brake video but when your looking for a specific make and model car, these videos are great.
I was gonna install 2 Front Pads on my 03' Camry. Buddy this installation procedure. This guy is thorough. He shows you the entire process with the pitfalls/ Rotors. Calipers are 14 mm on mine. Thx
This was well filmed and the audio explanation was very good. When I used to work on my car I’d make a list of all the tools and their sizes, plus any other bits and pieces like greases, oils etc. I needed to do the job. It would be fantastic if you did that and put in in the description for easy reference. Thanks for a great video.
@@themechanic6117 I have a family of 5 kids between me and my partner and we drive in my car to pick them all up, you literally saved me $250 dollars.... I can not thank you enough. Hope your having a great night man
Thanks for being so thorough! Tired of being the damsel in distress so I started working on my own car at 30 years old, I'm now 42 fixing to do my first break job, I have alternators and starters and anything else under the hood mastered.I hope this will be as simple as you made it look thanks for the video and I agree with you I'm tired of looking up videos and I completely different car video pop up kudos to you subscribe and liked!
By the way you are absolutely correct when people are looking up their exact specific make and model they want to see how it’s done a self-made do it yourself or like me likes all of the information I can get it’s all in the details my friend great job.
Solid video bro... Im doing my 2005 brakes in the Morning... Your vid helped a lot... Ive done brakes... Many times... But not a 2005 toyota... Thanks man Props.
Great info and well made video. I will usually watch a few videos on the same subject to get a complete idea of what needs to be done. This single video has all the relevant information with no unnecessary fill. Well done.
Thank you for such a detailed view - products, torque specs, etc. The only thing I'd add is thoughts on bedding the brakes or a link to a video on that. But great video!
I enjoy ALL of these instructional vehicle repair videos.....From Chris to Scotty to Eric......they are all pretty helpful. I especially liked this one, buddy, because I own a 2004 Toyota Camry. Plus, when you use certain tools specific to the job, it gives me a reason the buy that tool (LOL). Thanks!!
Best video I've seen so far. Yes, when we are looking for a particular make and model(mine being this one) I dont wanna see a 98 mustang 😂 which makes working on your car a whole lot easier
First time viewer. There is a difference between a thorough safe repair and a quick repair. You have been subscribed lol.. 🏆🎖Great informative video.. Thanks.
A very good video that explains many of the common brake issues/problems. Just a couple comments. 1. No reason to cheat and just pull one bolt. That is what quicky brake shops do and likely why the bottom slide pin was never serviced and it seized. 2. The bottom slider pin (one that was seized) is supposed to have a rubber o-ring on the end. When it was pulled out....no rubber ring. It is still in the rusty bore of the caliper. I j-hook pick will easily remove it to be reinstalled on the slider. 3. The brake grease is a great idea but does NOTHING between the chrome brake pad hardware and the caliper. Might help it not rust again but the job of the brake lube is to let the PADS slide in the rectangular slots. Just a bit on the pad 'ears' will do the job.
I don't apply any grease to the ears of pads. Sure it works initially but it just collects dirt and grime and makes it even worse. No grease on the ears of the pads is the way to go. Just like when you buyba car brand new , the ears of the pads don't have grease on them. Over the years I've seen that this does work better
Does it have the tapped holes in the center to insert screws? If not used heat, a large hammer and penetrating oil. Use can also use a bolt coming from the caliper bracket to press on the rotor but you have to be careful with that to not bend those tabs
@@themechanic6117 yes the bolt method worked perfectly! LoL my second question after I cleaned and put everything back together the bottom fastener bolt on caliper isnt completely stopping. It's on there pretty good but it it doesn't stop when I'm tightening. I noticed in your video the greased bottom bolt doesn't move when you tighten the fastener but mine does..
great video, thanks for doing my exact model. I am not a fan of blue thread lock because the next time you take it apart it is going to be a pain. but that's me.
Brother, thank you much! Your lesson is very helpful. There is the only thing that I wish you could emphasize more and that is cleaning of the caliper and bracket from rust very thoroughly before installing the pads. I spent a couple of extra hours on adjusting the pads so they could move smoothly just because I didn't clean it with file well enough at first.
Nice Vid... I've watched so many before I did my 2002 Camry - My lower slide pin was stuck just like this car's. After looking in the service manual I realized that the two slide pins are totally different. One has a little indent section towards the end and a rubber bushing (part no. 47769-50010) goes there. That little bushing was MIA on my car and is missing on the slide pin in this video as well 9:31 - I just ordered two of these and will revisit my front brakes when the bushings arrive...
Great video. Simple to the point. I watched a few others and I was screaming at how these guys weren't using lube, or changing out the shims, or bracket clips. Your brake job on this car was great. Now off to help my friend on his Camry.
I've replaced the brakes on my son's 02 Camry(Built in Japan) I've noticed the brake pedal is a little spongy. I see no leaks but the pads were all substantially worn; 2 mils left on fronts, 1 mil left on backs. I want to self bleed them if I can and which wheel I start at depends on where the ABS modulator is. Any idea? I enjoyed your excellent video. No problem subscribing.
If you replaced all the pads and the pedal feels like that id first start with sucking as much of the oil brake fluid out the resevoir and see if it makes a difference with new fluid.
Off the top of my head I can't remember. This is why it's important to only remove one at a time. Remove the one off the other side of the car and check it
Great video! Where are you located? I need brakes done on my camry. Your attention to detail was awesome. All the other videos I see they just slap everything back together without taking the rust off and adding the right amount of grease.
@@themechanic6117 Damn, I'm in Texas. Finding a good mechanic is priceless. Thanks for the detailed vids though. This way I have the option to do it myself.
This video helped me change my womans brakes no problem. The passenger side wore down faster than the driver side. I greased the pins. If the pad wear doesn't change do I need new rotors?
That Permatex green goop brake grease will swell rubber seals and especially that bushing on the lower pin. Use a silicone grease or Sil-Glyde. Reason you had such a hard time removing lower pin is because the bushing was swelled from using wrong kind of grease.
I'm disappointed... the rotor holes did not line-up after the plastic wrapping magically disappeared!!! Back to watching... hope I don't see any more faults! =)
@@themechanic6117 Thank you, sir! Did the job last weekend. Thanks for all the insight!. I did hit a little snag....after doing the drivers side and started the passengers side, I realized there were anti-rattle clips on each pad. I went back to drivers side and noticed that I only found ONE clip still attached to one of the pads. The other must have been knocked off as it ate at the rotor. Went to the parts shop and purchased new clips. Wasn't sure if I need them, but replaced them anyway.
Very important. With out the clips you get squealing/rattling and a clunk every time you put the brake pedal or hit bumps. I've seen it plenty of times
That happened in my cobra and they had brembo dual cyclinder calipers i couldnt find so i lived with the one side rattling over bumps for a while....didnt effect the function whatsoever...just the function of my mind because that became the most annoying thing ever
The cars driver seat is stuck in the back position is won’t move forward apparently it happens often on these cars but no one has a clear video on what to do it will also help save people money if you do this because it makes the airbag light come on and I know untrustworthy mechanics will try to charge a arm and leg when the airbag isn’t even the problem
So a buddy put front brakes on my 04 Camry. Last thing we did was drain the line and he's positive we did it correctly, I pumped then he bled the line 6 times on all four tires, twice. My brake pedal feels like it is taking waaaay too long to make the brakes respond. Any thoughts?
@@themechanic6117 I think he did it since my brakes were bad, reeeeal bad, so he swapped out all the major components and thought replacing the old brake fluid with new was a good idea. There's no excess fluid coming out of anywhere either. He did overfill the main cylinder (almost to the top) and told me not to worry about it when I pointed to the Maximum and Minimum fill lines.
@@maxbegovich3395 sounds like you need to make sure theres no leaks and any of the lines he removed then bleed at those calipers and possibly bleed at the master cylinder
The reason that lower pin is seized is because that Permatex green brake goop swells that rubber bushing(any anything else rubber) Avoid using Permatex brake grease products on rubber.
"Don't the the caliper bracket fall"...cracked me up. Your right, everyone does a brake video but when your looking for a specific make and model car, these videos are great.
Exactly, try changing your timing belt by watching a video of a different make n model...good luck lol 👍🍻

@@themechanic6117 hey any tips for taking off a stubborn rotor? I took everything off it but it's on there pretty tight

Can you use anti seize instead of the blue thread locker?
Those two do opposite things . Thread locker make sure your bolts come loose whereas anti seize make sure things don't get stuck, they may come loose
Great vids man

Back to watching... hope I don't see any more faults! =)
Lmao I Noticed that as well but in the editing stage there's nothing I can do... sorry,I have failed you 😭
Sir, besides the slide pins, where else should I lubricate?
Inside of caliper where the caliper touches the pads

Yeah I've had to do that before
Question how important are the clips that slide on top of the pads? when i removed my old pads they didnt have said clip but other side did.
Very important. With out the clips you get squealing/rattling and a clunk every time you put the brake pedal or hit bumps. I've seen it plenty of times

What do you mean by a stuck seat?
The cars driver seat is stuck in the back position is won’t move forward apparently it happens often on these cars but no one has a clear video on what to do it will also help save people money if you do this because it makes the airbag light come on and I know untrustworthy mechanics will try to charge a arm and leg when the airbag isn’t even the problem

Awesome thanks! Always great vids keep up the good work.
Customer declined new caliper. And opted for 3 Big Mac Meal instead to feed family.
Bro u really said chrisfix 🤣🤣
I'm planning to do mine on my 2005 Camry I never done brakes before I just hope I don't screw up anything 😒
Follow the video and dont forget anything and you should be ok
What breaks do you use
I like to use akebono . Usually I just use whatever the owner of the car brings me
What caused the Millennium Falcon to crash?
A Wookie mistake.
No need to bleed?
No. Don't disconnect the brake hose and you won't have to bleed
The reason that lower pin is seized is because that Permatex green brake goop swells that rubber bushing(any anything else rubber) Avoid using Permatex brake grease products on rubber.
Yeah i stopped using that inside of there
Do I need to bleed the brake lines?
No, don't mess with the brake lines. There's no need to bleed just to change pads and rotors
@@themechanic6117 ok thanks, but what if I change the calipers too?
Then yes you do need to bleed the brakes in that situation

What brand of rotor was that?
Coated rotor from rockauto.com. probably raybestos

😂😂😂😂 *cough* Chris fix
Did the owner just want that one side done?
Both sides got pads, only this side got a rotor. 😑
