I love that you showed how hard this stuff can be so people don't think it's as easy as you make it look (and how it usually is) to do a front brake job.
Nice video; nice, calm, confident voice with no extra fluff; anti-seize all around. cross pattern tightening. If you were a shop, you would never run out of customers. Thumbs up.
Thanks, my 2008 Toyota Highlander front rotor was seized 100%, I hammered and beat on it like mad, went to HD and brought two M8 1.25 screws.. thanks for giving the correct size screws to use, and that did the trick.. and I live in N. Calif with no rust..
Seriously thank you for showing a real life crappy rusty nasty mess of a brake job it rather than a pristine perfect new parts thing that none of us would ever see when we pull the wheels off our cars thank you thank you thank you
Thank you sir great video. A thing I have found that came in real handy, if the caliper won’t fit because the 2 pistons are pushed out, just take the old brake pad, place a c-clamp on the outside of the pad and the caliper and slowly turn the clamp until the pistons level with the caliper. Works great and no draining of fluid involved. God Bless!!!!
Great vid, saved me lots of money, done brake jobs in the 70s, things have changed, my guy wanted $800 , I can do this in a couple hrs and 200 in parts
Great video for dealing with rusted on rotors - definitely not exclusive to a Highlander. Had to deal with this once and now always put a thin layer of anti-seize compound where the hub and rotor touch. Stops/limits rust from forming and rotors come off very easily years later.
Great video,the only part I do not do is use brake grease on the ends of the pads they slide on stainless steel hardware they need no lube this only holds brake dust and road grim creating sticking and uneaten ware,other than that excellent video 👍👏👏
After getting the pads and rotor on, and putting my wheel back. My brake light is now on and the brake pedal goes to the floor. Any follow up advice or video?
I bought brakes and rotors from 1a auto and my rotors make a clunking sound when switching to reverse☹️. The rotors where after market and slightly bigger ( nakamoto) than oe. Brakes were good but rotors awful.
+thul kiful jones We are very sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. The rotors should be the same size as OE. Please give us a call at your earliest convenience so we can take a further look into this. We look forward to hearing from you.
I don’t know what type that is, but if it’s not silicone based, it will cause the lil rubber piece (that is on the end of one of the pins) to swell and cause your brakes to stick. I use “super lube” silicone based grease for the pins. Works great on anything rubber too (such as the lil rubber washer in your garden hose).

Very clear and easy to follow . Thank you so much . I will do it tomorrow
I never even considered a grinder to get that thing off of there. You guys Rocked!
+David Shawnee Thank you!
12:07. I couldn't figure out how to remove the slide bolts. Thank you !!

Very nice, thank you for the awesome workmanship in this video! :)
The way I do it almost to a tee.....nice job!
@1a auto tell the guy to beat the rotor like if it owes you money!!!
Super video. Thanks so much

Expert Job! ty
Excellent video!
+gray lobo Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
When in doubt use the metal hammer
Brake pad clips don't match 07 Highlander Hybrid. Otherwise very thorough video, great for first timers.
+willolyn Thank you for your feedback!
im glad we dont have that rust problem in los angeles........the under parts of my 99 camry are litterally rust free
How long did you heat the rotor up for with the torch please?
+Rob Tait Start with a minute or less and repeat as needed.
Does it matter if you put the copper anti seize or brake grease on clips and ears of brake pads
+Loren Fok Thanks for watching! You do not want to use a lot of grease, so we recommend applying it to the brake pad ears or clips only.
Sorry I word my question in correctly. What I meant to ask is you use brake grease for the pads ears. Can you also use copper anti seize?
@@lorenfok1097 no
Nice caring job!!!
Before compressing the piston, clean it and lube it with silicone based lube. Otherwise grime goes back under the boot.
Great vid!

Why you did not bleed the brake line? I thought the rule of thumb in doing brake job is whenever you replace the rotors you have to bleed it.
Only if you open the system. Like changing the caliper.
Man I love the south 😂

@@1AAuto I just sent an email out earlier today. In hopes of finding a solution . I am and have purchased different parts from your company.
@@1AAuto Good news 1Auto is sending improved rotors at no cost to me and I am very satisfied!!!
Not supposed to use that type of grease on the pins

U hit the tire from the back
This dude has arms like he's been doing this stuff a long time

Him: "my dog died last night last night,... gonna spray it with some rust penetrant".
Glad he didn't put the tires on with an impact lol
