Word of advice.....If you're ONLY changing the break pads either in the front or back on a 2014 Toyota Camry and NOT the rotors, there is no need to remove the entire caliper like I see many people do. Just remove the upper bolt and let the caliper swing down making sure to tie a rope or bungie cord to avoid it hanging too low and damaging break fluid lines. Much easier and faster than removing the whole dam caliper for NO reason. 😎
Yep just learned this yesterday after changing my pads on my chevy impala 2010, but sometimes the bolt is on pretty tight. I also saw that the pads don't wear down evenly and I did not need brake fluid like my mechanic claimed. It seems the pistons that pump the pads had to compensate for worn out pads, making the fluid appear low because afterward the reservoir was full. Had to use a C clamp to push that things back in. First time, but I saved 450$
I would use silicon grease for the glider pins. Put a little grease on the piston and the back of the pads where the caliber makes contacts. I would properly remove the brackets and clean off any rust under the hardware where the pads slide. I'll be doing my 2016 in a few months.
1st thing is open the brake fluid reservoir to catch any leakage in case it was topped off while the brake pads were worn. The leakage occurs when the brake caliper piston is compressed.

Thanks for sharing that tip

Why would you want to completely miss the opportunity to destroy a brake line?

You make it look easy brother, Im going to do this tomorrow on a 2014 Toyota Camry LE, thank you!
thanks
How was your experience
@@mharkiemark84 no socket or bolts size my friend?
@@DFWAuto_Hack socket size 14, bolt size 10.
Straight forward and easy to follow....thank you!
nice job! i like how u show applying grease.....good for visual
Love the dance and song routine. Nice mid class entertainment

also this would avoid any potential ABS issues
Could've turned the wheel for easier access. but otherwise great job
Grateful for the video it will save me waiting room time and $$$
A very clean job. Well Done.
Thanks for the video it has been very helpful.
Is there any sensors i should be aware of? Changing mine this weekend
Are the two wire clips not necessary for the new one u put in.
Its an anti-vibration/squeal spring/device.
Are you referring to the retaining pins?
