Excellent guidance thankyou! With your kind assistance, I've just changed the original pads after 15 years and 80,000 miles on the wife's Yaris Verso, purchased from new in September of 2002. It's been a brilliant car and just keeps on going!
Thanks a lot for this video. I am handy (work in apartment/building maintenance), but I was always scared to mess with brakes on a car. Current financial situation gave me no choice, coupled with this video giving me all the confidence I could ask for. You explained this really well, told me exactly what I'd need, and made the whole job easy. I ended up also needing to change the driver side caliper because the piston was stuck (which, was really the original/only problem)... I know you didn't cover that here, but it was easy to do with the information provided. I'm on a 2008 Yaris, somewhere north of 120k "Off topic" but I also have a tri-pod dog. He's missing his back right. I know this video is pretty old... hope your pup is well or lived its best life! It's amazing how they keep going Thank you again for your help, and I hope you are well and have a Happy New Year!
hell yes . thank you Jim , this was about the third video I watched and the only one where the guy ( you ) pulls one bolt out and swings the whole chingadera out the way and slips off the old and slips in the new and badda bing ur done . nice ty from Hanford ca.
Thanks Mr. Fayettebr, I'm not sure how many miles were on the first set of pads. They could have gone another 10-15 thousand but our daughter was leaving for college in the car and I wanted to be sure her break pads would be good thru her senior year. Thanks for your comment !
Excellent video, thanks for posting this. If I might ask, it possible to DIY the rear brakes as well, I understand they are rotors? At over $800 for the front and rear brakes, I am almost forced to DIY this task.
A little detail on rotor inspection would have been helpful. Maybe some info on turning rotors vs new rotors, too. For me, when rotors are questionable, i buy new rotors. New rotors are under $20 each. All in all, a great vid. Thanks
To remove the disc/rotor you definitely need to take off the caliper mounting bracket then remove the two screws (if applicable) on the face of the rotor that holds it onto the hub. Not sure the size of the bolts holding it as I just got my Vitz. The guy in the video should have at least applied some synthetic brake lube to the backing plates for the pads and removed both caliper pins, cleaned them and applied synthetic brake lube too. The caliper O ring and rubber gasket can benefit from lube 2
Ancient comment but there are no screws holding the rotor on. You can borrow 2 bolts from the hood hinge and screw them in those holes if your rotor is seized on, they push on the hub and pull the rotor.
@1.55 Just did my 02 Yaris front pads (Brembo) which took along time only because there was 2 warped outter metal clips which you pin pointe out at 1m 55s It made it finnicky (awkward) as it kept moving and well worth getting a complete set which will have those and anyone can do this in minutes (only pads) it's not that difficult and it's my first time doing it.
Does anyone know what I need to change every brake on my 2007 Toyota Yaris? Such as where everything goes as in drum brake, calipers, brake shoes, and brake pads?
I do not know if there is a specified torque for them.. I just snug them down good and tight - but not so tight that they risk being sheared off from over tightening.
I am not an auto mechanic. You might review other TH-cam Vids regarding the same type of rear break job. Raise the back end of your car and pull your wheels off and look the breaks over. You might try one side and use the other side as a intact reference guide in order to put the side you take apart back together. Try and post a video if/when you do it. Best wishes.
You have a good eye.Yes, ol' Charlie dog lost his leg to a Chevy S-10 about four years ago. $1200 in vet bills later, I'm thinking we should change his name to LUCKY dog :-)
Moses, I'm not sure how to remove the disk. You might try and Google a Yaris Forum and ask if someone on the forum knows how to do it. Sorry I couldn't help. Best wishes !
Ha ! That is funny... Japanese Yaris break jobs on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean being connected ! My wife just got back from your side of the pond. You might recognize some of the scenes from her trip... When you get the chance, take a look at this video from her trip... European Cruise: Italy Gibraltar Spain France England Netherlands... and enjoy. Best wishes !
From a professional videographer: Use a work light when your shooting in the shadows. Even outside. What you're doing on the back side of the brake disk is hard to see.
Ha ! He needs a whole new right front leg. A Chevy S-10 rolled him up and the vet took his leg about five years ago. How he is like Alfred Hitchcock... making surprise appearences in my videos :-)
Years ago he didn't look both ways and got rolled up under a Chevy S-10. It cost him one of his front legs... and $1200. But he had a good long life after his accident and learned to get along quiet well without the leg. Now, Charlie RIP out in the fruit orchard.

Our daughter was taking the car to college - and I wasn't sure when I would have another chance to mess with the breaks.
Good to know! And sorry for your loss. Sounds like he still lived a quality life! Good job! And good job with this video also!

Great video! This really helped with my first time changing brake pads!
Very informative Jim. Keep up the good work. I love your 3-legged dog!
Thanks for the video, Jim! Made my afternoon task easier!

Great video...cool trick with the bailing wire to keep the caliper up and out of the way! Did mine after viewing this..."easy peasy"...THANKS!
Thanks for sharing. This gave me courage to replace mine.
Awesome, I think I can do the pads on my Girlfriends Yaris and save her some money ! Thanks for posting this, a BIG HELP !
@1.55 Just did my 02 Yaris front pads (Brembo) which took along time only because there was 2 warped outter metal clips which you pin pointe out at 1m 55s It made it finnicky (awkward) as it kept moving and well worth getting a complete set which will have those and anyone can do this in minutes (only pads) it's not that difficult and it's my first time doing it.
Hi
What size of key did you use to retain the pin while you was tighting the caliper?
Sorry, I don't remember the size and we have sold the car.
Thats great but how do I take the disc out to change it?
gotta trust a guy who adopts a 3 legged dog.
Do u have a video for the back breaks? I know those are a little different.
I have not had a need to do the back breaks yet... but I will try and post a video of the procedure when that time comes.
Does anyone know what I need to change every brake on my 2007 Toyota Yaris? Such as where everything goes as in drum brake, calipers, brake shoes, and brake pads?
Do you have to torque the caliper bolts to a specific degree?
I do not know if there is a specified torque for them.. I just snug them down good and tight - but not so tight that they risk being sheared off from over tightening.
so you need new clips too? or do they come with the new brake pads?
Why have you change your disk brake ? They looks good.
Thank you a lot. I did it myself for the first time!
That's how I like it. No special tools. Just use what you've got.
this is very informative, Thanks Jim!
Nice vid.
How many miles did you have on the old pads?
Thanks. I especially like watching the three-legged dog walking by in the background. LOL
Thank you Jim, that's perfect! I'll replace it myself... best regards from France...
How did it go? Was it difficult? I think I’m going to do mine with my son tomorrow… Kind of scared

I have a yaris and a three legged dog. How random. Mine is a front right amputation.
Think you mean "coincidence" rather than random.
the pads were hardly half worn and did not need changing for many 1000s of miles
Maybe he was just demonstrating how to change the pads! Would have had a bot of a wait to wait for the pads to actually wear out!

great video...
Can u show who to change discs aswell?
thanks a lot, your old pads looks to have quite a bit of material left on them.
Great Video, very helpful
Thanks you for your time, i will do it this weekend
Great video dude,

Thanks , 0:33 poor dog with 3 legs . Did she still alive?
Best tripod dog ever.
Ha ! Yes, Charlie is like Alferd Hitchock... always discretely making guest appearances :-)
Hi Jim.i take it you done this vid to show us how its done coz it looks like there are plenty of miles on the old ones.thanks btw.
cat fish Our daughter was going away to college so I though I'd just replace them and be done with it.
three legged dog walks into the saloon and says " I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw "
Hah ha... Good one - creative !
Thanks sir. Very helpful
Bless your heart and his. And thanks for the video, i think this will be very helpful...if I ever get the nerve.
good job Jim excellent
how to remove the rotor disc.
Is the three legged dog obligatory for carrying out this repair? ;-)
The new clips were in the box with the new pads.
great video. please send me your used brake pads i can use it to replace my old brake pad
I know, there was probably 30K more miles on those pads... but the kid was going off to collage and the wife wanted it done.
That's Great ! The wife says, "Send a check . " Ha ha, just kidding ! Glad it worked out for you !
I usually regrease the slide pins aswell...great tutorial though!
I had to replace mine. The rubber boot was deteriorating in my 2010 and they had started to rust bad enough to not seat new boots.
From a professional videographer: Use a work light when your shooting in the shadows. Even outside. What you're doing on the back side of the brake disk is hard to see.
thanks for the video! i can't do it with out you
Ha ! He needs a whole new right front leg. A Chevy S-10 rolled him up and the vet took his leg about five years ago. How he is like Alfred Hitchcock... making surprise appearences in my videos :-)
pads are still good but it can't hurt putting new ones on
Awesome!
Thanks! :-)
Thanks sir
Poor Charlie :( and very lucky!!! :-)
What happened to the poor pooch in the background there at the beginning? Needs some pain killers no doubt... Or a vet?
Years ago he didn't look both ways and got rolled up under a Chevy S-10. It cost him one of his front legs... and $1200. But he had a good long life after his accident and learned to get along quiet well without the leg. Now, Charlie RIP out in the fruit orchard.
You can get another 8-10,000 miles out of those pads me thinks.
The pad is thick yet, not yet half... I will tell the owner you return to me after 1 year to see us again, depending on the use of the vehicle...
thatt dog in the background needs a hip replacement or somethings, looks like its limping
Poor dog
what about that dog with 3 legs back there? :/
