TOYOTA RAV4 (Gen4) Brake Service - replace pads and bleed brakes

This video shows how to replace the rear and front Brake pads and how to replace (flush or bleed) the brake fluid on a 2017 Toyota RAV4. The same procedure applies to many other Toyota models.

4 liters/ 4 qts did you use all of it for flushing? Thanks for the answer👍🏼

Hi, I used one full liter of dot3 brake fluid. Thanks.

[@Explorenature707]

Great video! How many times do you bleed (open&close) each caliper?

[@masood-tv]

@@Explorenature707, thanks. You can do it one of two ways. Spend 1/4th of the fluid for each caliper. Or, yet better, as much as it takes for the fluid to come out clear.

@@masood-tv thank you, sir.

Hi there
i have the same car. I replaced brake fluid because it was very low and i disnt bleed the brakes. and i noticed my brake is very hard to push down sometimes. i checked the brake booster and it is working fine. Havent bleed the brakes for two years. could this be the cause for hard brake pedal?

[@masood-tv]

No, I don't think so, but you should flush the fluid every couple of years.

@@masood-tv okay!
also the mileage is at 90000kms with the calipers. thanks

@@cloudchaser9951 I would inspect the caliper pins in these cars...if not greased properly, they could potentially cause the hard braking.
